We had comments saying that the hall was too wide with the reference point as the stage. Guests sitting at the sides of the ballroom were not able to see the performances clearly. A person suggested that it would be better to get a squarish hall rather than a long one.
Had a few comments saying that it was congested. We should also work on the seating plan. Someone mentioned a careful consideration of the location of charis, tables etc for easier viewing. And also allocate strategic space for performaers to dance and move in/out from performances.
the story:
once again, APOLOGIES!!!!!
man, i've been saying a lot of sorry's. but sigh, well, still, sorry.
anyway, these are some thoughts and explanations from us:
- we looked out at least 4-5 venues before deciding;
- btw, CHCH has a limited number of hotels that has a hall that can fit such a large number of people (i.e. more than 150 people);
- after taking into account as many factors we can think of (you can see me if you want to have a look at our analysis folder :p), we decided that though this might not be the best, but it would be the best amongst the rest - not only in terms of the package that they offer us, but also the overall ambience was really cosy;
- basically we have to work within our limitations.
- where would be a better venue?
- make sure that we get to use the venue during the day - and not only an hour before the event. it's a long story for that - but anyway, hope the next committee will be very insistent on this the next time :)
- anyway, having the venue during the day will definitely give us more time to solve unexpected problems
the story:
i had a wee chat with the ballroom manager. however the cost was about the same as renting the hotel ballroom we had this year. and since most people in the survey said they would prefer the hotel ballroom - so ya.
anyway, i think this is definitely an option that the next committee should consider :)
