Frequently asked questions

What licensing is required for a 500-person party in Westminster?
A Temporary Event Notice (TEN) covers events exceeding 499 guests in Westminster. Submit to Westminster City Council at least 10 working days before; fees start at £21 per event per licence. If alcohol sales exceed 5 days or live music is all-night, apply for a Premises Licence. Ensure compliance with noise limits (45 dB) and fire-safety regulations.
What is a suitable seating layout for 500 guests in Westminster?
Use banquet-style rounds seating 10 per table: you need 50 tables (1.8 m diameter) occupying ~500 sqm. Allow 1.5 m between tables for service and guest flow, adding 750 sqm circulation. Alternatively, theatre-style rows at 0.5 sqm per person need 250 sqm, plus 20% aisles (~300 sqm total).
What AV infrastructure should a Westminster venue have for 500 attendees?
A venue for 500 guests should offer a minimum 10 000-lumen projector or LED video wall, a PA system with 4×2 kW speakers, wireless lapel and handheld mics, a mixing desk with 8+ channels, DI boxes and reliable WiFi (min 50 Mbps). Confirm in-house technician support, backup power and rigging points for lighting or staging.
How many parking spaces are needed for a 500-person event in Westminster?
Plan for one parking space per 6–8 guests for a 500-person event, equating to 60–85 spaces. Factor valet drop-off bays at the entrance and accessible parking (10% of total) close to entry points. Westminster’s controlled parking zones may require permits or pre-booked bays to ensure availability.
How much does catering cost per head for a 500-person party in Westminster?
Expect to budget £60–£150 per person for buffet or fork-and-knife menus. Casual bowl food or street-food stations start at £60pp; seated 3-course dinners from £100pp; premium canapés and signature cocktails push costs to £150pp. Include service charge (10–12.5%) and VAT (20%) in your calculations.
What staff ratio is recommended for a 500-guest party in Westminster?
Aim for a ratio of 1 member of staff per 30 guests. That means 16–18 service staff, 4–6 bar staff, plus 2 event managers and 4 security personnel. This balance ensures timely service and guest safety. Increase staffing by 10% for interactive stations or late-night bars to maintain smooth operations.
Which transport links best serve Westminster venues for 500 guests?
Westminster venues benefit from Jubilee, District and Circle lines at Westminster station (100 m from exits), plus nearby Victoria (Victoria, District, Circle) and St James’s Park (Circle, District). 500 guests can disperse efficiently via Victoria coach station and mainline stations (Victoria, Waterloo). Plan shuttle mini-buses from Paddington for overflow.
How far in advance should I book a 500-person party venue in Westminster?
For a 500-guest event in Westminster, secure your venue 9–12 months ahead. High demand, especially for weekends, makes this timeline vital. Early booking ensures access to peak dates, better rates and full-service support. Confirm deposit (typically 25% of min spend) 6–8 months before, with final payment due 4–6 weeks prior.
How much floor space do I need for a 500-person standing party?
For a standing reception, allocate 0.5–0.7 sqm per guest. A 500-person standing party therefore needs 250–350 sqm usable space. Add 20% more for circulation, bars or entertainment zones, totalling 300–420 sqm. Check ceiling height (min 3 m) and column placement to ensure unobstructed views and fire-exit access.
What is the typical minimum spend for hiring a 500-capacity party venue in Westminster?
Minimum spend for exclusive hire of a 500-capacity Westminster venue typically ranges from £10 000 to £25 000. Peak weekends (Friday–Saturday) start at £15 000, weekdays from £10 000. Deposits of 25–30% secure dates, with the balance due 4–6 weeks before the event. Packages may include basic AV but catering costs are extra.
