3 Questions to Ask Any Venue Before You Book

If you’re planning an event, the venue can make or break the entire experience. Whether it’s a milestone birthday, a company celebration, or something intimate and unforgettable, the right space can make or break the evening.

We’ve hosted over 1,000 events at UrbanBeat, and if we could give every host just one piece of advice, it’d be this: ask better questions before you book.

Here are 3 you must ask any venue you’re considering:

1. What’s included — and what’s extra?
Surprise fees for basic things like sound, lighting, or setup can kill your budget. Get transparency up front.

2. Can you customize the space for your vibe?
The best venues work like blank canvases — not cookie cutters. Make sure your event can feel like your event.

3. What’s your team like on event day?
The best venues have planners and staff who make your life easier, not harder. Ask about on-site coordination and support.

We believe asking smarter questions leads to unforgettable nights. If you're still planning, we're here to help.
