Planning an event and searching for venues to host it? Ditch the same boring hotel spaces and consider a dedicated banquet hall and event center.
Hotel rooms offer the convenience of on-site rooms, but when it comes to events they’re often lacking. Banquet and catering halls outperform hotels due to their:
- Event infrastructure
- In-house catering
- Decor flexibility
- Staff-to-guest ratio
- All-inclusive pricing
At Laurel Manor Banquet & Conference Center, our party venue in Metro Detroit features different packages, so you can get exactly what you need for your event. Contact us today to learn more.
How Can Dedicated Banquet Halls Outperform Hotel Spaces for Your Event?
Dedicated banquet halls with parking outperform hotel spaces because they’re designed specifically for event hosting. This means that amenities, decor, and catering are often built-in to the venue.
Banquet facilities are focused on providing an exceptional experience for you and your guests, which multi-purpose venues can’t match.
If you’re looking for the best place to host your event, a banquet hall offers:
Event Infrastructure
Hotels have to balance the needs of all their guests, which means they can’t fully-dedicate their staff and amenities to your event.
In addition, the layout of hotels means that hallways outside of the event space are often shared with other hotel guests. This means that noise can easily bleed through and distract from your event.
Dedicated banquet halls, on the other hand, are built specifically to handle event logistics. Some venues offer soundproofed partitions, private bridal suites, and expansive lobbies just for your event guests.
In-House Catering
Depending on the hotel, you may or may not be allowed to bring in your own vendors. This restriction means you may have to rely on the hotel’s kitchen.
Hotel kitchens can serve great quality food, but they don’t offer any options for menu customization. In addition, they may not be equipped to handle the volume required for larger events, as they also have to cook for other guests.
At Laurel Manor, our executive chef John Vitale leads our in-house catering team in creating beautiful menus for events.
Our kitchen staff has experience in large-scale services, and they’re completely dedicated to you and your event.
Decor Flexibility
Hotel spaces often have their own design and appearance, with limited options for adding your own decor. From distracting carpet patterns to bold wall colors, these rooms may clash with your event theme.
With dedicated event spaces, it’s expected that you’ll bring in decor and customize the room to fit your needs. That’s why banquet halls tend to have neutral color palettes and minimal design.
At Laurel Manor, our newly-renovated event spaces are designed to enhance the theme of your event. The flexibility of our rooms makes it easy to accommodate any theme.
Staff-to-Guest Ratio
Hotel staff are often busy with multiple guests, so they can’t be 100% focused on your event. When you book a professional banquet hall, the entire staff is there for you.
From the valets to the servers and event coordinators, everyone is there to ensure you and your guests have a great time.
All-Inclusive Pricing
When it comes to hotels, you may have to deal with additional fees for parking, AV equipment rentals, or resort charges.
With specialized banquet halls, the pricing is always transparent. These halls are designed to be one-stop shops for your event, so they manage their own AV equipment and parking. This transparent, all-inclusive pricing makes it easier for you to plan your event budget.
