Planning your staff party event?

Have you ever asked yourself about organising a great staff party event? Possibly the answer is yet but barriers start cropping up and questions flood your mind on how to truly make this event stand out. Being experts in the event planning industry, we at Event Planner can make this happen, and what more- you do not need to worry about anything!  We are also going to give you some simple tips regarding what you should keep in mind when organising this year’s event. They might be simple, but they can become big issues if unplanned for!

It is crucial to select the most appropriate venue for your event. Make sure you look around well (and quickly as the season is kicking in) and check the following:

1.Cost – is the cost within budget. Are there any hidden costs?

2.Ambiance – the atmoshpere may make you or break you. Make sure the place ‘feels’ great.

3.Services and amenities such as sound and bathrooms

4.Location – make sure the location is easily accessible for attendees

5.Capacity and minimum number – make sure the venue is large enough, but not too large. If the venue is too large, it will be difficult to make it a fun event.

6.Parking – most venues have their own parking if they are located in central areas. If not, make sure there is parking in the vicinity. You do not want people to turn up an hour late just because of lack of parking!

7.Layout – if you need to set up the venue in a particular way, you need to confirm that the layout will allow you to do so. The shape and height of the venue can have a big effect on what you can and cannot do.Accessibility  – make sure the venue is accessible to all your invitees

Likewise, finding the ideal catering company is highly recommended when planning. Do the following:

Schedule a tasting

Consider the caterer speciality

Consider what services you need

Ask for references

Inquire about food freshness

Ask for a quotation

Read the contract

Finally, choose your entertainment wisely. Bring a good quality sound system and plenty of music selection if you intend to have some background music. We would always suggest getting a duo or a dj though, it makes the event more fun, and you may find that costs are not as high as you might have expected!
