Depending on the type of message you want to send to your employees, you can book your corporate event at a four-star restaurant or at a neighborhood dive bar. Many factors should be taken into consideration when planning a corporate outing such as size, budget, and availability. The important thing to remember when planning a corporate is that this event should be used to show gratitude for the hard work of the employees.
There are a few things to take in to consideration, do you want to have a formal dinner party at a restaurant, do you want something more casual and relaxed? Some venues can host private dining for corporate events which can be nice for larger parties to keep them separated from the rest of the venue. Serving alcohol can be a nice way to let people let loose but it can also pose some issues. Your servers should be aware of how to serve alcohol and not to over serve guests.
If you choose to use a professional party planner, you can really put on a great event and have less of a headache than trying to plan the event yourself. Party planners typically have contacts in the area and can usually put together events in relatively little time. Planners know what it takes to put on a great event and have an existing relationship with area vendors. By using an established party planner, you can get some insider deals on venues and vendors.
Take into account the menu, do you want to serve steak, seafood, appetizers, buffet, etc. When putting together a menu, give your guests a choice in types of protein or vegetables. Let your guests know what will be served at the event ahead of time.
The biggest part of planning a corporate event is staying in contact with your planner and giving yourself enough time to plan for any unexpected bumps in the road. Throwing a great function is no easy task but when done correctly, can be a great time for everyone in attendance.
