But, it is still suggested to look for a place which is well-equipped with all the safety measures in case of any mishappening. 

• Communication Mediums – Formal gatherings require equipment like mics etc. to communicate. Do check that everything is ok with the equipment. Sometimes, the pitch of the mic does not go well with the place. This leads to sound echoing. Hence, resulting in a disturbed and broken conversation.
