What to Look for in a Private Dining Venue

A private dinner with friends, family members, and loved ones is a special way to create memories that you’ll reminisce about for years. You have to choose the right private dining venue if you want the night to be a success, which means you will need to evaluate your options based on the size of the  group, your guests’ dietary restrictions, accessibility concerns, and the venue’s atmosphere.

Things to Consider When Choosing a Private Dining Venue

• ­Group Size—Can the facility comfortably accommodate your group? A space that is too small or too large for your group can make guests feel awkward.
• Privacy—Do you want a self-contained space or would you prefer a semi-private space?
• Menu—Do you want to serve a full sit-down meal, or would you rather host a sophisticated cocktail evening with pass-arounds for guests to munch on while they socialize?
• Accessibility—Will guests with mobility issues have to navigate stairs or uneven surfaces?
• Dietary Restrictions—Does the venue provide options for vegetarian or gluten-free guests?
• Atmosphere—How will the venue’s atmosphere affect your event? An overly formal space might make guests feel uncomfortable, while a space that is too casual might detract from the special occasion.
