In my experience as an event planner, I have realised that in order to create that 'Wow' factor for an event, you don't necessarily have to re-invent the wheel.... just the theme!

So in your search for right space, inquire whether security comes with the space and where will they be located.  Additionally, ask the venue about their evacuation procedures and the location of your muster point. It is better to be prepared than to be sorry.
