12 Questions to Ask Before Booking a Banquet Hall in Guwahati
Most banquet-booking regrets come from questions nobody asked. Before paying any advance, at our hall or anyone else's, get clear answers to these twelve.
Capacity & space
- What is the realistic seated capacity with your planned layout? "Up to 100 guests" should mean 100 seated comfortably alongside the stage and buffet.
- Can I see the hall set up for an event like mine? A site visit beats every brochure.
- What layouts are possible, rounds, theatre, U-shape?
Catering
- Is catering in-house or outsourced? In-house (like our chef-led kitchen and restaurant with 30 signature dishes) means one accountable team.
- Can I do a tasting before signing? Always worth asking.
- How is the final per-plate count settled?
Money & inclusions
- Exactly what does each package include? Compare tiers, at Hotel Shiny Grand that's Silver, Gold and Platinum, line by line, in writing.
- What costs extra? Decor, sound, generator backup, surprises live here.
- What is the advance and cancellation policy, in writing?
Logistics
- How much parking is available? For 100 guests this matters more than most hosts expect.
- Are guest rooms available on-site for outstation family? (We have 35.)
- Who is my single point of contact on event day? Get a name and number.
FAQ
- What is a fair advance for a banquet hall in Guwahati?
