Many new venue owners don’t have much experience and as a result do NOT have any guidelines or rules about booking and running the events & functions.
Many evente are organised by friendly agreement and a handshake with the clients. Then when something goes wrong it is HARD making up the RULES as we need them. Here are some rules to prevent bad things happening.
Times have changed! – Whenever you sell a Function, Event or Wedding at your Venue you are actually contracting for delivery of good & services and there are legal ramifications.
Each party to the agreement or contract is liable for certain things and there can be serious consequences for breaching the contract or failing to deliver.
There was once a wedding photographer who forgot entirely about a wedding and was sued for non-attendance. He had to pay damages.
Another example was a big ASX company that cancelled their 7 day residential conference just two weeks before the event, They were fully liable and were charged the full conference cost as a cancellation fee. Over $100k.
So you, your staff, clients and guests need to abide the MANY regulations and laws that apply including:
In order to deliver the highest quality customer experience, it’s a wise idea to decide the RULES for your event venue & communicate them to any potential clients before the event.
Here is a great list of just some useful Terms & Conditions that you can implement to run your function events and minimise risk.
NOTE – One of the biggest issues Clients have with venues is usually around deposits and the cancellation or postponement of the event. Please make sure that your agreement is absolutely clear about all the conditions around the deposits.
Disclaimer – This is NOT a full list of all the Terms & Conditions that you can have in your Event agreement but it’s a good start. Please consult your Industry Association for a standard Agreement or your own Lawyer for a customised one.
