Venue Finder Insight
By Carrie Larwood, Managing Director
For an awards ceremony, think beyond how the room looks for dinner. Check the sightlines to the stage and screens, acoustics, lighting and production access, and make sure there’s enough space for staging without compromising guest capacity. I’d also ask about setup time beforehand – a spectacular awards room often takes considerably longer to create than people expect.

FAQs
-
What should I look for when choosing an awards ceremony venue?
-
Look beyond the overall capacity and consider the stage, sightlines, AV and lighting, production access, catering and space for a drinks reception. The venue should comfortably accommodate your guests once staging, screens, production equipment and dining tables have been added.
-
How far in advance should I book an awards ceremony venue?
-
For larger awards ceremonies, booking 9–12 months ahead is advisable, particularly if you need a popular Thursday or Friday evening. Smaller events may have more flexibility, but booking early gives you a better choice of venues and dates.
-
What type of venue is best for an awards ceremony?
-
Hotels, ballrooms, historic venues, museums, conference centres and unusual event spaces can all work well. The best choice depends on your guest numbers, budget, production requirements and the atmosphere you want to create.
-
What AV and production facilities will I need for an awards ceremony?
-
Most ceremonies require a stage, microphones, presentation screens, professional lighting and good-quality sound. Larger events may also need specialist production, live streaming, cameras and dedicated technical support. Always establish what the venue provides and what will need to be brought in separately.
-
How much does it cost to hire an awards ceremony venue?
-
Costs vary considerably according to location, guest numbers, catering and production requirements. When comparing quotes, ask for a breakdown covering room hire, food and drink, AV, staffing, security, furniture, setup and any additional charges so that you can compare the total event cost.
