Venue Evaluation Framework

A weighted matrix template with pre-built criteria for arrival experience, flexibility, F&B, accessibility and cost, plus the site-visit checklist covering what people forget and the trade-off summary that makes the recommendation defensible.

• Agree the weights before you see the venues.
• Score on site, never from memory afterwards.
• Confirm load-in windows and curfew in writing before contracting.
• Always visit at the same time of day your event will run.
