Events & Banqueting

Here you will find answers to some of the most common questions we receive from our guests regarding events and the banqueting hall.
How do you manage security aspects during large events?

Security guards can be hired on special occasions.



Is it possible to organise live entertainment or performances?

We've had stand-ups, live bands, opera singers, children's choirs and lots of other fun.



How big an audience can you handle for an event?

Our largest conference room has 150 fixed seats, but the seating can be extended with 10-15 loose chairs. In our banqueting hall, 180 people can sit at a dinner. For mingling, we can take even more people.



Are there VIP areas or exclusive spaces for special guests?

We do not have VIP areas, but are happy to offer a small conference room for special guests.



How do you customise your service for international events?

At IVA Conference we have international guests and events with great regularity. Both staff and service are therefore used to this. All staff speak English, so signage and communication is in English.



Can I bring my own food and drink to the venue?

No, we have a catering licence, so all food and drinks are booked through us and the restaurant Grodan, which we work with.



Do you offer any special packages for corporate events?

Each event is unique so we quote all requests separately to create the best experience for each specific occasion.



Is there a music system in the venue?

There is a sound system for speech and background music included in the room hire. For performances and DJ/dancing, another system needs to be hired.



Can you get help with event planning and coordination?

Planning a major event takes time. We have coordinators and stewards on hand. We also have some checklists that can be helpful.



What can you do with flowers and decorations?

We can help with ordering flowers for the tables, but you are welcome to bring your own.
Even decorations are usually personalised and can be handed in to us beforehand or placed out before the festivities begin.



What kind of events can I organise at the IVA Conference Centre?

From product launches and company anniversaries to fashion shows, photo shoots and film shoots, we've done it all.
Please take a look at our website under the tab Event & banqueting where we present various events, both private and for companies.



Is it possible to book a Photo Booth through you?

Photo booths are a perfect activity for events and weddings.
We refer to suppliers who Myselfie.se or Eventomatic.se. There are more online.



Do you offer help with event planning and realisation?

Planning a major event takes time. We have coordinators to help with planning and, depending on the scale, we recommend an external event coordinator. We have an experienced team on site to ensure that everything runs smoothly.

Our regular evening hours are no later than 01.00 with last dance/order 00.30.
For an additional fee, we can postpone the time to 02.00.

Corporate events for anniversaries, major product launches and thematic creative workshops.

How can I customise the venue for my specific event?

Flags, roll ups and other merchandise can be used to decorate the room. We adapt the furniture in the room to your wishes, as far as possible.



Can you organise menu cards and place cards for weddings and parties?

In our experience, these celebrations usually have a specific theme, so we need to receive menu cards and place cards from the host couple, together with a seating plan that also includes any special dietary requirements.



Can the entire conference centre be booked for exclusive events?

Of course, you can book the entire facility for your event.



Can I bring my own wedding cake or is it booked through you?

When you bring your own cake, we charge a fee for serving.



Are there opportunities for outdoor events or activities?

We have a beautiful garden in the courtyard where you can have simple activities. Otherwise, there are many exciting challenges to do in town, with the help of an activity company.



Do you have a wedding coordinator?

No, because depending on the size of the party it can be very extensive. We are responsible for the venue and food and of course questions about it. Feel free to search on wedding coordinator Stockholm on google to book a visit with the appropriate wedding coordinator.
