Christmas Party — Paide

December in Paide gives you cheap venues and expensive everything else. Heating a hall that sits empty eleven months of the year costs more than the room itself, and every supplier knows you are booking in the season when everyone books. The budget move is deciding early what you actually need in the room — a podium and two microphones is a different rig than a dance floor that runs until two — and then finding the venue that already has some of it.

Sound travels differently in a cold room. If the heating has only been on since morning, the space fights you until halfway through the evening, and no amount of desk planning catches that.
