The Blue Flame

Event venue in Utopia, Texas

Before You Book

Hosts usually book event venues and banquet halls 3–6 months ahead (6–12 for big Saturday events). Ask:

Is our date available, and how long will you hold it before a deposit?
What is the all-in price for our guest count, including service charge, tax and gratuity?
What is the capacity seated, standing and with a dance floor?
How many hours are included, including setup and cleanup time?
Must we use your caterer or bar? Is there a fee for outside food, a cake or alcohol?

Ask for a sample invoice for your exact guest count; service charges and tax can add 20–30%.
Fridays, Sundays and weekday daytime slots are often cheaper than Saturday nights.
Visit at the same time of day as your event to judge light, parking and noise.
