Planning an event in Hong Kong: venues, timing and permits
How to choose dates, venues and suppliers for a Hong Kong event — plus the approvals people forget.

Pick a date around the city's calendar
Public holidays, major exhibitions and typhoon season all affect venue availability and supplier pricing. Booking further ahead usually costs less than a last-minute scramble.
Match the venue to the format
- Rooftops and harbourfront spaces for receptions
- Hotel function rooms for banquets with catering built in
- Studios and industrial spaces for workshops and launches
Understand what needs approval
Amplified sound, temporary structures, food handling and public access can each require permission from the venue or the relevant authority. Confirm who is responsible for applying.
Build a realistic run sheet
Work backwards from guest arrival: load-in, sound check, briefing, and a buffer for the unexpected. Share it with every supplier.
