Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose an event venue?+

Compare systematically: capacity (with 10–15% headroom under your expected attendance), total cost including taxes and service charges, AV included or billed, catering flexibility, transit access, and availability on your date. The cheapest rental fee is rarely the cheapest total.

Why does catering flexibility matter?+

Venues with mandatory caterers limit your negotiating room and your in-kind sponsorship options (a sponsoring caterer can't come in). Food flexibility is often worth thousands of dollars.

What hidden costs should I check?+

Service and cleaning fees, mandatory insurance, billed setup/teardown hours, security, damage deposits, HST/GST on everything, and food minimums. Ask for the all-in cost in writing.

Is the comparison tool free?+

Yes — completely free, no account or email required. Built for Canadian event organizers by SponsorMatch.ca.
