Embrace it as a social economic renaissance. Your event is part of the solution. Read up on what the community leaders are saying. You'll hear words like "historic" "change" "progress". Stay with the positive verbiage. Police details are not cheap, but if you reach out to local politicians and ask for advice, you might be surprised at the amount of assistance you'll receive. Stay tuned I'll be discussing food in the next post. Thanks for bringing this up Nina,

And the space could be perfect in all ways except for the neighborhood. If your guests are afraid for their safety at your event, what kind of party will it be? I am having this challenge right now for an upcoming event. Selecting the venue is the most important part of planning an event...besides the food ;) The entire mood of the event is set by the venue.
