There are a few decisions to make and tips to consider prior to selecting a venue, to faciliate the planning process for your event:

2. Who will be invited to your event?
3. Is the event formal or informal?
4. What room setup style do you want?
5. Will you require audiovisual equipment?
6. Do you need podiums or cocktail tables or specific furniture in your venue?
7. Will you serve food, refreshments or alcohol?
8. Are you planning a conference which requires online registration?
A few tips
Plan in advance. The key to a successful event is to allow plenty of time for the planning process to ensure you have everything covered! Respect your deadlines to ensure you don't jeopordize your event.
Get your prior approval form (Staff and Faculty). As part of the Policy on Hospitality, Meetings and Events on Campus, Staff and Faculty (not Student Associations) must obtain prior approval from their Dean/Administrative Unit if there will be alcohol served or sell and/or if the event catering portion exceeds $5,000. The Prior Approval Form must be included with the request for space and/or alcohol.
Consider your budget.
Knowing what budget you have available will help you make decisions on details such as food, alcohol, equipment.
The following procurement guidelines must be adhered to. For more information visit Procurement.
- Catering orders should be paid using a University T-card
- Catering orders over $25,000 before tax require two written quotes
For Registered Student Associations, please insure that you have budget approval from your VP Finance of your Umbrella Association before making any event related requests.
Pay attention to the details. If you want to serve food or alcohol, or expect minors to attend, read our policies. You are responsible for adhering to all relevant policies, booking terms and procedures that apply to your event.
Provide an accurate description of your event when you submit your request. Lack of information can result in delays or services which may impact the success of your event.
Patience before promotion. You must ensure you have an official space confirmation for your event before you can advertise your event.
Request and review quotes and confirmations received by service providers to ensure accuracy of information.
Now that you have a clear vision of the event you are planning and your needs, you are ready to put your plan into action!
To place a request for a space that best suits your needs, visit Space Reservation.
