Venue Choice 10/03/2010
 
One of the hardest choices for anyone organising an event is where to hold it.  The trick here is to pick a place that suits your audience. 

There are 3 factors to consider:
  1. who is going to attend,
  2. how are they going to get there, and
  3. does the event's goal suit the environment. 

If you are having a 50th birthday for example, a nightclub may not be the first choice or an IT Conference may not be well suited to a local hotel in the country. 

At Eventions, we help you choose the right venue for the event you wish to hold.  Through our experience in the Event Management Industry we can help you find the best locations for your special occasion.
 
Catering Menu 10/02/2010
 
Catering can be a painful process.  What do you order?  How many choices do you provide?  There is no right and wrong answer to this conundrum.  The trick here is to realise that you cannot please 100% of the people 100% of the time, but you can minimise the risk.  Decide on a menu and limit your choices to 2 or 3 options.  Remember that the more choices you have, the larger your budget will need to be.

Offer at least one vegetarian choice and advise your guests that should they have specialist needs (i.e. vegan, low fat, food allergies) to contact you prior to the event.  Most catering companies will cater for special needs providing they are advised early, and usually at minimal cost to you.

At Eventions, we have a wide variety of caterers and venues that we deal with, all of whom have the same mindset in that we are here to help you make the most of your event.

 
 
 
Always have the aim of the event in the back of your mind.  Set a goal of what needs to be achieved for the event as a whole, and then break that down into manageable milestones. 

This provides you with a frame work which won't seem so overburdening, and will also produce a series of checkpoints to help you see when and where you are at with your event.

At Eventions we help you establish your goals and set milestones for you to achieve.  Eventions can have as much or as little involvement as you need in this area, and are always there to help when you get stuck.
