# Picking an event venue for in-person events

By now, you should know the size of the celebration you want to plan. Be realistic with your estimate of attendees and remember that a packed small room is better than an empty large one. Some of our past celebrations have been held at educational institutions, conference rooms within corporate office buildings and in coffee shops or pubs. All were equally amazing.

There are many factors to consider when choosing a venue for your celebration. It is important to always keep in mind the overall vision for your celebration as well as the number of attendees you expect.

Below are some factors that may or may not weigh into your decision, depending on your culture, location, and the size of your celebration.
