Prom, homecoming, sports awards, and honors banquets — students have many reasons to celebrate and be acknowledged throughout the school year. Shouldn’t they be recognized in a special setting? If you’re planning school banquets, hold them at a venue other than the school gym. Here are a few reasons you’ll be glad you did.

3 Benefits of Holding School Events at Outside Venues

1. Planning

When you book an outside venue, you’ll have the help of on-staff event planners. They can take your simple theme idea and transform it into a spectacular occasion. They’ll give you suggestions on every aspect of your event, and they can be as involved (or not) as you’d like. Planners can call attention to minor details you may not have considered, such as the ideal seating arrangement or color of tablecloths, providing an invaluable service you won’t receive if you hold the banquet at school.

2. Decorating

School banquets and dances are more than just streamers and balloons. Today, teens expect elegant affairs, and they aren’t satisfied with events being held in the same place where they attend sports games. A venue’s staff can provide the decorations down to the smallest details. That’s something you can’t get in a school gymnasium.

3. Food Preparation

Whether you want a sit-down dinner or an all-you-can-eat buffet, venues can provide options not available through a school kitchen. A professional catering team can offer hors d'oeuvres or a full meal, and they have a professional staff available to serve it—something a school doesn’t provide.

Events are more memorable when they’re held somewhere special. If you have an upcoming school banquet, make Lake St. Louis Banquet Center your venue of choice in St. Charles County.
