There are so many different reasons to consider booking venues for hire in Wellington. You may be a small business with a need to impress clients with professional meeting rooms. You may be based out of the city and want a convenient venue for staff meetings, training or team building. Alternatively, you may want to host a larger conference or networking event in the heart of Wellington’s CBD.

Regardless of your needs, there are many different types of venues for hire in Wellington. Let’s take a look at some of the different ones you can access.
 

Basic meeting rooms

If you either don’t have an office, or you’re from out of town and visiting clients in Wellington, you may need a ‘home base’ to conduct meetings while you’re here. Naturally, a modern venue is a great way to impress guests, and it’s also a lot more professional than meeting your clients at cafes around town.

You can hire meeting rooms in a range of different sizes depending on your needs. They can all be equipped with features such as full HD screens, whiteboards, and practically any seating configuration you need.

 

Larger capacity rooms

It’s often a good idea to get out of your own office and head to a meeting venue for team building, training, brainstorming sessions or business planning events. It’s a great way to recharge the batteries and escape the familiarity of your own office space. So, there are times when you need meeting rooms capable of holding more than just a few people.

At Urban Hub, for example, we have 5 different meeting rooms ranging in capacity from 8 to 80 guests, depending on seating configuration. This type of flexibility allows you to get the team out of the office for the day and our team takes care of all the setup to ensure you’re well-equipped to get the most out of the day. We’ll even cater for you.

 

Conference venues for hire

There are many great reasons to host a conference. A conference is a terrific way to bring clients and other industry professionals together to share ideas. Typically, a conference is made up of several different sessions with guest speakers. Some are informational, some are more interactive.

Firstly, a conference venue needs to have enough space for your guests. That part is a given, but you also may need access to other rooms, such as meeting rooms and breakout spaces for group activities or smaller sessions.

In addition, so much of running a conference is about providing networking opportunities, but you need the space to do it. For example, at Urban Hub Serviced Offices, three of our meeting rooms can be opened up to create one much larger space. But we’ve also got meeting rooms and breakout spaces galore. With a fully licensed bar and café capable of hosting cocktail events and a stunning outdoor terrace that holds up to 80 people, we’ve got all the space you need for your conference activities.

 

Get the right venue for your needs (and budget)

If you’re planning a business event, it’s not uncommon for your eyes to get a little bigger than your wallet. An amazing, top-class event is always impressive, but it needs to deliver value to your business. Basically, if you don’t need the extra space, you should look at more cost-effective options.

For example, if you expect to only generate interest from 50 attendees, booking an enormous conference space is not only costly but also makes the event look poorly attended if the room isn’t filled. So, always choose the right space for your particular event, and if you’re unsure, contact the venues for hire in Wellington and ask what they can offer.
