Tips for Planning a Corporate Event
/
If you’ve never planned a corporate event before, you may be feeling overwhelmed and wondering where to start. Follow these tips from our private event venue to make your event a success!
Purpose
What is the impetus for your company wanting to host such an event? The answer to this question will determine many of the particular decisions you will make throughout the planning process. For example, some corporate events focus on a business’ employees, while others are held in honor of its clients. Perhaps you are trying to recognize or celebrate a specific event, such as the launch of a new product or reaching a sales goal milestone. Understanding and prioritizing the purpose of your event is key.
Budget
Before you can start looking into event spaces and catering options, you need to know about the funds you have to work with. It can be difficult to anticipate every single expense that may come up, so often the best approach is to minimize individual costs as much as possible as you go along in order to have some safety money left over to cover anything unexpected.
Location
If you are hosting your special occasion in the San Francisco, CA area, consider taking advantage of the private rooftop space here at The Newhall Nest. Your venue must fit within your budget and be able to accommodate the size of your guest list. Start looking for the right corporate event space as soon as possible, because venues tend to book up quickly.
Final Arrangements
You’re ready to get into the nitty-gritty and prepare the actual event itself! Do you want to organize the occasion around a theme? How would you like to arrange tables and seating? What sorts of activities will take place and will you need certain equipment or supplies? This may include microphones and audio systems for speakers to use, prizes or certificates to distribute during an awards ceremony, and everything in between.
