What makes a good event?
Jumping Spider • Sep 30, 2022

Everyone can throw an event, but not everyone can throw a good event. It can be hard work and there are various factors to bear in mind, but your event can stand out from the crowd if you put thought, effort, and maybe some money into it. 

 

Here are my top tips on executing a fantastic event that is sure to impress your attendees.


#1: Make a plan

 

It may seem like a simple tip, but the key to a smooth event is a robust plan. In the planning stages, you should be thinking about every detail, no matter how small. From date and time to attendee list and running order, everything should be accounted for. You’ll know exactly how the event should look and be prepared in the event of mishaps.

 

#2: Consider the full experience

 

It’s important to be detail-orientated when running an event, and part of this is making sure guests have an enjoyable experience from start to finish. In my view, the experience of an event begins before attendees even turn up. Think about your invitation and what it’s communicating, how you talk about the event, and the buzz you can create before guests even step through the door.

 

#3: Add a professional touch

 

No matter the scale of your event, it’s always nice to add a little something extra your guests may not be expecting. This could be a live band, a children’s entertainer, or even professional event caterers. Food is definitely the way to people’s hearts, so hiring an external caterer is a great way to help ensure your attendees leave with smiles on their faces.

 

#4: Location, location, location

 

One of the most important aspects of event planning is choosing the right location. A useful starting point when choosing one is to think about the guests you’re inviting. Where do they live? Where do they like to go? Where is easy and accessible for them to get to, even on public transport? If you can work out the needs and wants of your target attendees, you will be on the right track.

 

Naturally, the above doesn’t cover absolutely everything you will need to know in order to host a successful event, but it should hopefully help provide a solid foundation.
