The holiday season is the brightest, jolliest, and most magical time of the year! Once the trees begin shedding their leaves and the cold winds make us to throw on our coats and scarves, it is an indication that a lineup of holiday parties are coming. If you have the responsibility of hosting a holiday event this year, whether for family, friends, coworkers, or a community group, your event planning skills will be coming to life. From the decor to the menu it’s all up to you. Hosting your holiday gathering at a venue can simplify the planning process in several ways from start to finish!
As a host, we know that you’re most likely creating a planning to-do list as we speak, and you’ve probably put “find a venue” at the very top because it’s the first essential component to have in place to begin the rest of the holiday party planning. You and your family, friends, or coworkers see your home or workplace year to year, week to week, or even day to day. Celebrating at a venue feels special because it is something novel for guests to experience together. When guests arrive to a new environment, a sense of excitement and exploration flows throughout the room, putting them in the party spirit from the start.
Here are some more benefits of simplifying your holiday event planning by hosting your gathering at an event venue!

The Venue is Already Decorated
Many venues come already decorated for the holidays so you don’t have to! Most venues will set up holiday decor like trees, wreaths, ornaments, and garlands to bring the holiday spirit into their space in a grand way. Having the setting staged takes so much work, time, and money off your plate so you can focus on enjoying time with your people. Also, at the Charleston, all of our additional decor is complimentary, so if you wish for things like candle holders, table runners, a fire place, a Christmas tree, specialty plates or lighting, we have got you covered.
The Venue Provides Picture Perfect Backdrops
Taking photos is an integral part of any party. When the atmosphere is bright, the surroundings are festive, and the backdrops are gorgeous, it’s natural for guests to become snap-happy. Hosting in a private event space is simply ideal for creating unforgettable picture-perfect memories that you can print, share on social media, and cherish forever.
The Venue Takes Care of the Amenities
Venues typically come equipped with everything needed for an event so you don’t have to worry about purchasing or providing extra amenities for just one day out the year. Tables, chairs, linens, centerpieces, multiple bathrooms, AV equipment, coat racks, enough parking spots, etc. may be some of the needs taken care of by a venue.
The Venue Provides Catering and Bar Options
Nothing brings family, friends, or community together over the holidays more than delicious food and beverages. When you book at the Charleston Event Center, you're in luck with the list of 8 catering options to choose from. There are no food and beverage minimums, so groups of any size are welcome. Each caterer offers a variety of menu choices and types of service, and the bartending company offers various packages as well (ex. cash bar, hosted bar). This enables you to choose catering and bar service packages to match your budget and preferences.

The Venue Takes Care of the Clean Up
Perhaps the best part about hosting a holiday gathering at a venue? You can have fun without the worry of having to clean up all the mess afterward! When it comes to the setting, the venue will prepare it all for you and break it all down for you afterwards. When it comes to food and beverage, you don’t have to do all of the meal preparations, dishes, or trash handling. Our caterers expertly handle this for you. It truly takes the mess and stress out of planning, simplifying your entire holiday season!
The Venue is Cost Beneficial
Holiday gatherings can be costly as the host. Venue rentals are a great option because all of the benefits come at a reasonable price. A stress-free experience is a cost-effective strategy for your holidays. It is a worthwhile investment that gives you much more bang for your buck!
Parties are great all year round, but to take it to the next level by considering a venue rental. At the Charleston Event Center we offer hourly rentals so you can customize your event. For bookings and additional information, give us a call today or inquire on our website!
