Event planning requires a lot of work with or without the event planner, and one of the biggest decisions you can make is choosing the right event venue!
Another big decision you can make is to find out what your payment covers; no one really tells you until it's too late.

So Here Are 4 Things You Probably Haven't Heard But You Need To Know About Booking An Event Venue

1. Venue Availability Isn't Always What It Seems

A whole lot of people have been disappointed because the event venue gave their date out!
Always ask whether your date is firmly available, if there is a need for you to pay upfront to lock it in.
At Amourartelia, while we are still under construction, we’re committed to keeping you updated every step of the way! No surprises, just stunning results. To secure your preferred date and avoid the rush once we open, we highly recommend booking early. We promise we won’t disappoint.

2. Hidden Fees and Extra Charges

This is a common thing among venues; many additional costs are not listed upfront, like parking fees, sanitation fees, and all. To save yourself some stress, always ask for a full breakdown.
At Amourartelia, transparency is our love language. We don’t believe in hidden fees! What you see is what you get. From power to cleanup, we’ll walk you through every detail upfront so you can plan with confidence.

3. Inadequate WiFi

Reliable internet access is needed for modern events, whether it's a luxury brand launch, wedding ceremony, or corporate event.
Don't just assume the venue's WiFi is stable, especially for large events with many attendees.
At Amourartelia, we’ve got you covered with high-speed WiFi strong enough to handle everything from live-streamed vows to real-time social media coverage and interactive presentations. No buffering, no stress, just seamless connectivity

4. Rules and Regulations May be Stricter Than You Think
Many venues have strict vendor policies and even stricter decor restrictions. Some charge extra for outside vendors, while others limit what you can hang, light, or display due to safety or preservation rules.
At Amourartelia, we embrace creativity and flexibility. Bring your own trusted vendors or choose from our vetted partners. And when it comes to decor, we’re all for making it yours.
Want your initials on a welcome screen? A floral arch with your brand colors? Go for it. At Amourartelia, we support personalized event signage, branded digital displays, and themed decor customization to bring your vision to life. Your event, your way!

Booking a venue is more than just picking a pretty place.
It’s about reading the fine print, asking the right questions, and planning ahead. Most importantly, it’s about choosing a space that truly supports your vision every step of the way.

At Amourartelia, we’re building more than just an event venue in Houston; we’re creating an experience. One that’s as thoughtful as it is beautiful, designed from day one with your needs, comfort, and creativity in mind.
