• Logistics are easier to manage when you have an experienced team to help you set up your decorations and dining.
• There is a sense of anticipation you feel when going to an event that is entirely different from organising a party in your home.
• Guests that have travelled a long way to attend can book in to the hotel as a guest to stay overnight before heading back.
• The catering of your party, whether a three course meal or just nibbles for your guests will be taken care of by professional chefs to your specifications.
• The hotel may have decorations for the event already in stock, so you won’t have to buy them.
• No cleaning! The clean up after the party will be taken care of by the hotel staff

Catering

Our chefs are seasoned professionals who take pride in their menus and are capable of high quality catering for a hungry crowd. Sending out a menu for guests to select their dishes from ahead of time is a great way to ensure there are no surprises on the day.

If you have guests that are vegetarian or vegan, allergic to peanuts or gluten intolerant, these are all things that the chefs will have to know ahead of time, so they can prepare separate dishes for those guests. If a guest is particularly sensitive to a specific ingredient, then it may be necessary to exclude it from the menu.

If in doubt, ask if you can do a menu tasting ahead of time. This will allow you to sample the dishes and decide what you would like to have served to your guests.

Drinks

Many of the world’s most famous cocktails where originally created by hotel barmen. Most hotel venues will have a wide variety of wines and other spirits available for your event. Placing wine out on tables is a good idea if you are serving a full meal for your guests. If you aren’t serving a meal, just nibbles, then having the bar open from the start will kick the proceedings off with a bang.

The Warehouse Bar has a wine list that is second to none, with an extensive list of cocktails and spirits for you to try. If you are ever in doubt about what you want to make available to your guests, then our staff will be happy to discuss the drinks available. Some of our wines pair particularly well with certain dishes and we can recommend a host of combinations for you to try.

Decorations

If you use a blank canvas like a marquee for your event, this means that you then need to order decorations and furniture for your guests. At a hotel venue the furniture and accessories you need such as glasses, cutlery and tablecloths will already be in stock.

The function rooms of One Warwick Place Hotel are fully furnished and if you decide you want extra decorations for your event, then we have a list of approved suppliers that have done good work for our guests before. Using hotel approved suppliers means that they have a proven positive track record at the party venue.

Capacity

Before booking your hotel venue, ensure you look at the minimum and maximum guest numbers for the venue. Many venues have specific rules and regulations regarding how many guests they can host at a time.

Options for pre-paying for the wine for each table, or even having an open bar event can be negotiated with the venue. While party venues attempt to be flexible with their timing and any changes to events it can be difficult to make last minute changes. Many hotels organise the meals and nibbles on a guest to guest basis ahead of time, so sudden changes to the plan such as inviting an extra ten people a few days before the event may not be possible.

With experienced chefs and beautiful function rooms, One Warwick Park offers an excellent service for customers looking to throw the party of the year!
