After you’ve sent out requests, the owners will usually asks you to visit the place and see it for yourself. Bear in mind that most places will ask you to check their place out but it’ll costs you a significant amount of time to travel and visit.
Here’s a few thing that people would look for when doing site recce:
Make sure that the place exist and how to access there. How is the traffic like at your event start time? And most importantly, you can see clearly what amenities are available in the location and if you need to bring additional equipment or items.
Understand how to access the location from parking lot or main entrance is crucial, especially if the space is located inside a shopping mall or office tower. It is fairly difficult to locate if no proper guidance is provided.
For most places, they have no fixed price for space rental. But rather, they’ll take into account the usual cost they need to cover an hour of operations when you’re renting the place.
Hotels, restaurants and cafes are priced higher based on the number of people they need to serve you, plus the amount of sales that they’re not able to generate at the time. Example, if a cafe can generate RM1000 in sales every hour, booking the space will costs you at least RM1000 per hour which does not make sense for most people.
A way to solve this is to find less packed places and the price would definitely be lower as compared to these prime locations.
Do the place look and feel exactly as you intended? Is the location able to fit the number of people that is coming for the event?
As most places will not show you a full set of photos that showcase their place, it is very difficult to judge whether these places suit your needs. As some use wide angle cameras to make their space look bigger which will give you a misjudgement if your decision is based solely on photos.
While it’s the norm to visit places before you place a booking, Chupspace provides you with a platform where you can easily do all the above by having these in mind when we build the website.
