Top 10 Questions for Family-Friendly Reunion Venues

Planning a family reunion is a joyous occasion, but it's important to find a venue that caters to all ages. If the younger kids have a place to play, the teens have room to congregate, then the adults will most likely be able to sit, visit, and relax. 

Here are 10 questions to ask venues to ensure a comfortable and entertaining experience for everyone:

  1. Accessibility: Does the venue have ramps, elevators, and accessible restrooms for guests with limited mobility. Is there close parking available for elderly attendees? Consider the comfort and convenience of all generations.
  2. Activities for Children: Does the venue have a playground or designated space for children to play? Having family-friendly amenities or an area where children can run and play will entertain the younger guests while the adults visit.
  3. Family-Friendly Atmosphere: Is the venue known for hosting family events? This can be a good indicator of the overall vibe and suitability for your reunion.
  4. Catering Options: Does the venue allow outside catering, or is there a preferred vendor list? Consider if they have options suitable for children or guests with dietary restrictions.
  5. Noise Restrictions: Are there noise limitations that might restrict music or outdoor activities? If the facility is in a neighborhood, music may not be allowed.
  6. Restroom Facilities: Are there enough restrooms to accommodate the expected number of guests, including family-friendly facilities with changing tables?
  7. Seating Options: Does the venue provide tables and chairs, or are these extra rentals? Consider if there's a mix of seating options to accommodate both socializing and mealtimes.
  8. Décor Flexibility: Does the venue allow decorations, and if so, are there any restrictions? If you are decorating, knowing what is allowed can help with planning. 
  9. Internet Options: Does the venue have internet options? This may seem to be an odd question, but it is very common these days. With many gatherings, families may want to collect and share photos and videos. And, this might be important to the teens at the event. 
  10. Backup Plan: Does the venue have a backup plan in case of inclement weather, especially if you're considering an outdoor venue?

By asking these questions, you can ensure the reunion venue caters to the needs of all your family members, young and old, making it a memorable event for everyone.
