A venue makes half of an event. Before you sign, a few simple checks prevent most bad surprises.
The Côte d’Azur has beautiful venues, but not every venue suits every event. A villa that is perfect for forty guests can become a headache for a hundred. A terrace that is perfect at sunset can be scorching at noon.
Access before the view
Your guests need to arrive, park and leave without stress. Check the parking, possible shuttles, and access for older guests or people with reduced mobility.
- How many parking spaces, and how far away?
- Does the venue allow shuttles?
- Are there steps, gravel paths, a lift?
A plan B for rain
Even in summer, a shower is possible. Does the venue have a covered space for all your guests? Can a tent be put up, and at what cost?
A good venue is, above all, one where you are not afraid of the weather.
Timings and noise
Many venues limit music after a certain time. Ask for the exact finishing time and the rules on volume, especially if you plan to dance. To go further, read our article on budgets.
