Planning Your Event Location – Our Professional Recommendation
In order to provide serious and reliable offers for an event location such as a finca or villa, several important factors must be taken into consideration:
1. Event Date & Seasonality
When would you like your event to take place? The month and season have a significant impact on rental prices for event venues. Seasonal rates directly influence your cost planning and overall budget.
More favourable pricing is generally found during the pre- and shoulder seasons, which are therefore especially attractive for weddings and private events.
The summer months of July and August are, of course, beautiful, warmer, and offer greater flexibility for families who depend on school holidays or travel from different regions.
2. Number of Guests
The number of guests strongly determines the size of the finca or villa that may be suitable for your event.
Property owners usually charge an event fee in addition to the rental price. This fee covers the increased workload caused by a higher number of guests, such as additional cleaning, water and electricity consumption, garden maintenance, and general wear and tear.
This is comparable to renting a function room or ballroom in a hotel.
3. Additional Cost Factors
Beyond the basic rental of the finca or villa, further costs may apply, such as:
Waste disposal, extra cleaning services, shuttle transfers or transportation, security or technical equipment etc.
These aspects should always be considered as part of realistic budget planning.
And: Services Beyond the Venue
Please keep in mind that, in addition to the location itself, you will also need to factor in services such as: Event or wedding planning, eremony organisation, catering, floristry, hair & make-up artists, photography & videography, music, DJs, live acts or performers.
All of these elements contribute to the overall experience and should be included in your financial planning from the outset.
GOOD TO KNOW:
biza Does Not Automatically Mean Higher Costs
Choosing Ibiza as your event or wedding destination does not necessarily mean higher overall costs. In many cases, the rental of comparable venues in other countries can be equally expensive.
One exceptional advantage of hosting your event in a finca or villa is that you can continue to use the property for your holiday afterwards. Imagine jumping into your private pool with your partner the next day, reminiscing about the magical night before turning your celebration seamlessly into a beautiful vacation.
