4 Tips For Choosing The Right AZ Event Venue For Your Corporate Event

Choosing the right corporate event venue for your Arizona event can be tough with so many great venue options to choose from in Phoenix and surrounding areas!

That said, as a locally-owned Arizona corporate events business that specializes in custom photo booth experiences specifically for corporate clients, we’ve worked at a lot of Arizona event venues over the past 5+ years! So in the spirit of saving you some time and stress pinpointing what to keep an eye out for when selecting your ideal Arizona corporate event venue we’re sharing our top five tips below:

Keep The Heat In Mind

If you’re coming to Arizona from out-of-state it’s important to remember that it’s very, very hot in the Phoenix area from approximately May to October. While May and October tend to see cooler evenings, the temperatures can stay high…between 90 - 100+ Fahrenheit in the evenings in June, July and even September.

The good news is most Arizona event venues (including the ones above) have indoors air-conditioned spaces! That said, if you’re hosting an outdoor event be sure to check the weather before committing to a venue. Lastly, high temperatures above 105 degrees Fahrenheit are known to negatively impact event rentals, including photo booths, arcade games, AV equipment, etc., so keep this in mind when mapping out your corporate event layout. Check with your rental company for their expert advice and follow it for optimal event results.

Explore Sustainable Solutions

Part of being a responsible event planner and events business includes asking important questions that center around our event footprint because the truth is a lot of unnecessary waste happens at large events, but the good news is we are able to take an active role in being able to reduce it, and ensure our event impact is a positive one for our Arizona community, environment and wildlife.

In terms of event venues, some great questions to ask include: 1) Do you offer on-site recycling that event attendees can utilize at my event? 2) Do you offer sustainable catering options? 3) Do you have a ride share program you work with to reduce your emissions impact from events? 4) What sustainable solutions does your event venue offer for events and can I see your Environmental Policy? 5) What event vendors do you recommend that are Green Business Certified?(We are!)

Location, Location, Location

Making sure your Arizona corporate event venue can accommodate your event size, as well as is accessible for all event attendees is very, very important. Because Phoenix, Arizona is a tourist destination with thousands of events happening year-round (see some of ours!) be sure to speak with your event venue about transportation and parking accommodations, as well as the impact that roadwork and traffic can have on your specific event days.

Similarly to the above tip, if you have a large group traveling in from out-of-state be sure to ask about ride share programs and consider hosting your event/s at an event venue that is close to where your event attendees are staying to reduce your event emissions.

Aesthetics & Ambiance Always

Look for Arizona event venues that cater to your event’s needs but also your event attendees interests. Versatile spaces that offer flexible and customizable event layouts are always ideal, allowing you to create an engaging and dynamic corporate event that suits your specific needs and branding. A big reason we love the Arizona event venues above is for this specific reason…whether it’s rooftop lounges with incredible views, dreamy desert gardens, spacious corporate conference rooms, on-site entertainment such as performances, etc. be sure to explore all that each venue you’re looking at has to offer…we’ve got some real gems of local event venues in here in the Phoenix, Arizona area!
