Gauteng Function Venues

Gauteng Function Venues That Meet All Your Event Requirements

Gauteng function venues have evolved into far more than just function venues; in view of the traffic gridlocks on the province's roads, shrewd entrepreneurs have spotted a gap in the market.  The aim was to reduce the time delegates would spend on the road and to achieve this, function venues had to offer more than function facilities; they also had to offer comfortable overnight accommodation to cater for multi-day functions, conferences or seminars.

Obviating the Need for Travelling

These Gauteng function venues thus had to expand their operations to offer conference delegates everything on-site, so they would not have to travel anywhere again once they have arrived.  The function venue, the overnight accommodation and the top quality catering that goes with these all had to be offered in the same space, making for a compelling business case.  The advantages to businesses holding frequent conferences, seminars, product launches and training sessions are:

  • No travelling between the conference venue and the overnight accommodation.
  • Excellent catering service, because the hotel catering service is also the conference caterer.
  • Added to these should be a convenient, central location for Gauteng residents.

 

Gauteng Function Venues in Pretoria

Pretoria is preferred as an ideal function venue location for many businesses, because its pace is not nearly as frenetic as Johannesburg's and the leafy, affluent East lends itself to splendid conference venues.  Another advantage of holding a conference in the east of Pretoria is the area's close proximity to major routes like Hans Strijdom Drive and the N4 highway.  Even the outskirts of town are still close to the trendy Woodlands Shopping Centre and the Menlyn Park Shopping Centre is not that far away either.

Comprehensive Conference Facilities

Conference facilities should lack for nothing and all the best Gauteng function venues should be able to offer you at least the following:

  • dimming lights
  • an acoustic partition
  • surround sound system
  • a ceiling-mounted screen on which to project presentations
  • wireless Internet access
  • an acoustic partition

Of course, several other items should be available upon request and a professional support team should be available to help you plan you event. 

The best Gauteng function venues should be available in a choice of sizes, configurable to accommodate delegates in different seating arrangements.  The seating arrangement would influence the number of people that can be accommodated and your event coordinator should be able to assist you in this regard.  Normally, a U-shape fits the fewest people into a venue and the cinema-style seating layout the most.

Conference Cuisine

Of course, it is important that the venue you have selected among the Gauteng function venues should offer a culinary experience that is beyond reproach and it helps if the venue is also a boutique hotel, because these establishments usually offer the best catering.  Search for a venue whose restaurant already has a reputation that precedes it, because the same catering team usually looks after the food of your conference delegates too.

Luxury Overnight Accommodation

Boutique hotels probably make for the best Gauteng function venues, because you are assured of the best possible accommodation for your conference delegates.  Delegates flying in from remote destinations can stay over at the venue for as long as necessary and multi-day events are easily accommodated.  Business sessions can continue for longer into the evening, because you know your delegates would not have to drive home afterwards, especially after a function.

Travelling executives do not feel like putting up with sub-standard lodging, so choose one of the Gauteng function venues that can offer you true five-star accommodation standards.  The luxury suites should include:

  • air conditioning
  • mini bar
  • in-room safe
  • wireless Internet
  • laundry service

In addition, executive or presidential suites should also be offered that add amenities like a private garden, a lounge and a fireplace for the discerning guest.
