Event Options in Astoria

You have the opportunity to add to the life that makes up Astoria. Whether it's caterers, florists or entertainment for the event, Astoria is sure to have what you need.

• Catering
  Events are often remembered for the food served. Make your party, show or celebration memorable with catered appetizers, main course or stand-up canape service. Decide on the type of food and menu and then call caterers for prices and services.
  
  
• Decor
  The bare bones of the venue can only do so much. Even if the space is beautiful enough on its own, a plain room may not fit in with the atmosphere of your event. From flowers to table centerpieces to curtain backdrops, the decor is bound to brighten up the venue.
  
  
• Entertainment
  Some need to be livelier than others. Music and dancing may be required to keep things high energy, or perhaps you need an MC who is no stranger to making things fun. Hire a DJ or a local band to ensure that there is never a dull moment at your gathering.
  
  
• Photography
  Many events are the milestones of important happenings – a baby shower, an anniversary or a birthday. To capture those memories forever, look into the professional photographers in Astoria and eternalize the day.
  
  
• Rental
  Sometimes, a venue doesn't have on hand everything you need. Buying the equipment may be a little too expensive, so why not rent? Equipment rental companies have a large catalog of tents, furniture and even cutlery to rent to deck out your event space in Astoria.
