| When
Hosting an event keep this in mind
: Location:
Where your event is being held is very
important. It is more than just a place
with tables and chairs. You must ensure
that the site which hosts your event caters
to you. Make certain they are equipped
to assist with any situation that may
arise. Know your needs before seeking
out location sites.
Caterer:
It is very important to know your budget
when choosing your caterer. What will
your guest be looking forward to? What
kind of impression do you want to make?
Check references when choosing a caterer
(look for professionalism in attitude,
preparation of food, and attitude). Be
extremely professional in all your business
dealings. Ensure that there is a contract
that includes payment plan (the standard
is 50% down payment upon the signing of
the contract and the balance at a later
date), gratuities, cancellation charge,
and extra charges.
Transportation:
How will your guest arrive? How will they
get home? Where will they park there vehicles?
These are all things to keep in mind when
hosting an event.
Remember:
The best events are the ones that go through
without a hitch. |
