What to Look for In your Quinceañera Event Venue in Nevada
What to Look for In your Quinceañera Event Venue in Nevada
A quinceañera is a traditional rite of passage for young women as they transition from childhood into womanhood. But unlike quinceañeras of the past, most quinceañeras today don’t take place in a church, they’re held in venue halls and ballrooms across the U.S. and Mexico. That puts even more significance on the all-important reception venue, which sets the stage for the festivities — and it’s also where many of the day’s memories will be made.
So when it comes to quinceañera venues in Nevada, it’s important to choose wisely. The wrong venue could be too small for your guest list, or it could saddle you and your family with tons of responsibilities on the big day if the venue lacks in-house capabilities. On the other hand, the best venues will take care of it all, from entertainment to catering and a spacious, large dance floor.
If you’re not sure on things like seating arrangements and decor, the best venues come with teams that handle the heavy lifting — all you have to do is sign off. Instead of spending months planning and worrying about all the particularities, a great quinceañera venue in Nevada can take care of it all for you with quinceañera venue packages that include everything you could possibly need on the big day. If you’re a more hands-on type of person, most venues welcome that, too, and you’re free to have as much or as little involvement as your busy schedule allows.
When you’re shopping for a quinceañera venue in Nevada, here’s what you should look for.
- Can they accommodate your guest list?
No matter if you’ve found the most perfect venue in the world, if it’s a small and cozy room and you’re expecting hundreds to show up, it’s not going to work. Instead, go with a venue that can accommodate your guest list. That means before you go shopping for a venue, you need to finalize that guest list. Some people are fine with a more intimate setting of just close friends and family, while others are looking forward to a big blowout on the big day. But suffice it to say that you’ll need to know what kind of quinceañera you’re having before all the planning starts.
- Are you planning a formal affair or a party?
While traditional quinceañeras often take place in a church, if your daughter or family hasn’t set foot in one for years, everyone might be more comfortable in a more relaxed quinceañera venue in Nevada. But relaxed doesn’t have to mean something run-down or lackluster. Modern venues can be just as inspiring and beautiful as a church, but without all the stuffiness and rigidity. Many venues also have various decor and entertainment options that you won’t get at a local house of worship, so make sure that the venue you choose speaks to your family’s style and palette. After all, everyone will be spending the better part of a day there, so it’s important that the venue works for you and your family.
- Who will be officiating?
Some families have a specific person in mind as an officiant, be it a priest, pastor or an ordained family friend. If you’re considering a local church, the officiant may even come with the venue, negating any other choice. For everyone else, you have options. Some like the familiarity of a family friend or a trusted community leader, while others would just rather the venue handle it all, providing a master of ceremonies so that the entire family can enjoy themselves. Either is a viable option, and most venues are flexible enough to accommodate your desires, whatever you choose.
- How convenient is your location?
The average quinceañera typically sees dozens, if not hundreds, of guests. But if you’re looking for places to host a quinceañera and you go with a venue in an obscure place, your guests may have trouble finding it — or they may show up late if your reception and quinceañera ceremony are on opposite sides of town. The easiest thing is to hold both in the same place, or to ditch the ceremony and get right to the party. It’s all up to you, but the easier it is on your guests the more likely it is that everyone will have a more memorable day.
- Are you flexible with dates?
Quinceañeras are becoming more popular with each passing year. But it’s not like new venues are being created every day, and there’s also weddings, anniversaries, private events, prom parties and other coming-of-age parties that are all fighting for the same venue space. While your daughter only turns 15 once, that doesn’t mean you have to be locked in to one day. You’ll also need to accommodate your guests, but a cheaper Friday or Sunday could be a great alternative to those competitive Saturdays. With just a little flexibility, you may be able to lock down the perfect venue and save some money just by shifting the day around.
- What about rules or security?
While it’s most common with churches, some quinceañera venues in Nevada have a strict and enforced dress code such as no bare shoulders or other rules that prevent you from altering the decor or when the music and dancing can start. Others may leave it up to you to enforce the rules. That sounds great until you realize that security could end up being a full-time job and it’ll leave you no free time to enjoy the day’s festivities. The good news is that an increasing number of venues have their own security, and they’ll enforce whatever rules you want. That’ll let you roam and enjoy the party without feeling like you’ve got a job to do, and the extra pictures you can take and the memories you’ll build are nothing short of priceless.
- Does the decor match your tastes?
Sure, there’s a lot you can do with decor to make a venue feel like a real party. Some quinceañera venues in Nevada may only need finishing touches, while others may require a large and concerted effort to look the part. But no matter how much goes into the decor, if it doesn’t match your taste, all the decorations in the world won’t turn a lackluster venue into an ideal ballroom for a quinceañera. A better venue will have the right decor, as well as various decor options for you to choose from to help set the scene for the big day. Even before you decide to tour a venue, it’s best to get an idea of the venue’s decor capabilities. Unless you’re bringing in your own decor, it’ll help save time by only looking at venues that are the right fit.
- What is your budget?
A perfect venue is only as perfect as the budget you’ve set aside, though there are some things that you can do to stretch your budget. Instead of blowing your budget on the ideal space, leaving nothing for decor and entertainment, if you’re under a tight budget it’s best to go with a venue that bundles its services. By booking a venue that does it all, you’ll get a location, an event coordinator, a caterer and entertainment, as well as everything you’ll need to throw the party of your daughter’s dreams. That can help save a significant amount of money over pricing everything out separately, and you’ll still have the issue of getting everyone to seamlessly work together.
