Book Adequate Space For Your Christmas Party
Imagine your group squashed into the back room of a restaurant that's crammed chairs and tables everywhere. You're uncomfortable, knocking knees and elbows with your neighbor, while the wait staff is bumping into you every time they bring the next course. Everyone has experienced one of those parties. While the food may be outstanding, eating is uncomfortable, claustrophobic, and you can't genuinely enjoy the event. Choosing a venue that offers plenty of space to comfortably mingle, enjoy your meal, and even dance a little is one of the essential elements for a successful party.Here at The Hotel Concord, we have two function rooms available that are perfect for small to medium-sized social events, like Christmas parties, weddings, and special occasions.

Consider The Logistics When Booking A Venue
The logistics are an essential detail when planning Christmas parties. Make sure your venue is conveniently located for your guests. Make sure it's a practical option. For example, does it include parking if it's an urban venue? Is it accessible to other transportation like limousine service, cabs, Uber or airports? Is the event space fully accessible for the less able?
