What is a Key Factor to Consider When Selecting a Meeting Venue?

When planning a successful meeting—whether it’s for a corporate retreat, nonprofit board session, or community gathering—one of the most important decisions you’ll make is selecting the right venue. So what’s the key factor to consider?

While there are several important elements like pricing, amenities, and availability, one factor consistently rises to the top: location.

Why Location Matters Most

A convenient, well-located venue plays a major role in your event’s success. It affects everything from attendee turnout to ease of logistics and overall guest satisfaction. A great location:

• Is easy to find and accessible from major roads or public transportation
• Offers sufficient parking for guests
• Is close to hotels, restaurants, or airports for out-of-town attendees
• Feels safe, welcoming, and professional

At Venue on Lake Lily, we’re located in the heart of Maitland with quick access to I-4 and the greater Orlando area, making it easy for attendees across Central Florida to get here on time and stress-free.

Other Important Factors

Of course, location is just the beginning. Once you’ve found a conveniently placed venue, be sure to also consider:

• Capacity: Can the space comfortably accommodate your group?
• Technology: Does the venue offer A/V support, Wi-Fi, and presentation equipment?
• Ambiance: Is the space inspiring and professional?
• Support: Will there be on-site staff to help with setup or coordination?
