Mistake #5: Not Enough Space For Guests
Being the marketing rockstar that you are, you might’ve been a little too carried away with the event promotions. So on the day of your party, you find out you have to fit five-hundred people into one small holiday party venue. Yikes.

Mistake #4: Running Out Of Food
What’s the worst thing that can happen to any party? Two words: Hungry guests.
When people aren’t fed good food, they usually get cranky, restless and grumpy. It’s important to serve good grub and to have enough servings for everyone.

You won’t run out of things to do at the Embarcadero. We have pretty cool neighbors, so your guests can be entertained after your event.

It’s a big plus that we’re easily accessible by foot, by car or by public transportation.
Mistake #2: No Entertainment
It’s a big mistake to book an event space San Diego with no options or areas for entertainment. You have to keep the crowd interested and engaged so that they won’t leave early. Plan games or performances that will keep everyone entertained. And make sure you handle the logistics of everything so that there won’t be a defective microphone or a wrong cord connector.
We have the right equipment and enough space for all your games and activities. We can even help you find a musician if you need one. Just let us know what you need and we’ll help you make it happen.
Mistake #1: Not Having a Plan B
Sometimes, things don’t go as planned. You have to make sure that there are alternatives so that you guests won’t feel lost and confused during the event. Having a plan B will save you from a lot of trouble.
If your party ends early or your group wants to do more bonding afterwards, there is a lot you can do in the Embarcadero area. If you’re in the mood for an adventure, you can enjoy a 30-minute high speed ride at the Patriot Jet Boat. You’re even welcome to just stay at our outdoor bar and enjoy people watching with a drink in hand.
