What is a turnkey venue rental?
The term “turnkey” originally meant a location which is ready for immediate use. The customer simply needed to “turn the key,” unlock the door, and walk into a fully-furnished, liveable space.
The same term can apply to wedding venues. In the wedding venue business, there are basically two types of wedding venues, specialty and turnkey. Let’s talk about both.
Specialty wedding venues
You have all seen a unique wedding venues. Go to Las Vegas and you will see dozens of “wedding chapels.” Weddings are a big business in that city because the licensing process is so easy and streamlined.
But there are other such wedding venues across the United States, venues whose sole purpose is to host a wedding. They are decorated for weddings, decorated in such a way that no other event could be held in that venue. Lovely spots, most of them, but the problem is in the cost. You pay for all that decoration, and all too often you also pay for the “added items,” namely catering provided, a bar provided, and even, at times, entertainment provided. Again, this is a lovely way to go, but it is also quite expensive.
Turnkey wedding venues
And then we have the turnkey wedding venues like Tarrant Events Center. At such venues, you are provided with the basics with which to hold an event. Tables, chairs, linens, audio equipment, WiFi, video equipment, cordless mikes, all are there and ready for use The price of rental is reasonable because, simply, there are no extras included in the price, extras like entertainment, food, and/or drink.
But wait, you say! Every wedding needs amenities!
Maybe yes, maybe no . . . it could be argued that the amenities are usually saved for the reception at a reception venue, but if you want them at the wedding, you are free to negotiate with vendors for the best price, thus, again, saving money.
