13 Aug Why is Second Best No Longer Good Enough?

Events are such a festive and momentous point in people’s weekly (or even monthly) calendars.  Looking forward to that wedding, 21st bday, music festival or 50th bday party can be a much anticipated event.  So it is no wonder that event planners feel the pressure of organising all the details and accessories to perfection!  It’s just not good enough to be ordinary anymore!  We are always trying to outdo ourselves and each other.  We all expect to go to events that WOW and amaze.  That is why your choice of location works as the base for planning a successful event.  Considering venue, location and design is so crucial to the outcome of  your event.

Choosing Your Location

So your venue selection will depend on what is being celebrated.  If you are organising a branding roadshow, you are looking for exposure and creating a profile.  That is why you would choose a central location where customers are bound to stumble upon the event. On the other hand, when planning a wedding you are aiming to project seclusion, ambiance in an open, romantic space so the focus is on style and elegance.  Deciding if your event should be held outside or inside is the first starting point.  From the freedom of being outdoors with a whimsical vibe and a punch of atmosphere; to a more intimate and enclosed, cosy indoor venue.  The choice you make will determine the crux for the rest of your celebration.

Indoor events

With closed in walls, an indoor event can elude a sense of security and comfort.  Everything is readily available for your event that you would not need to go too far to plug in lights, sound systems and provide easy catering for your guests.  A venue such as receptions, conference centres or halls are so easy to find in very convenient places.  But they can also be very expensive!  Convenience and location can cost a bomb.  Consideration to the cost of venues needs to be mapped and fit within your budget.

Outdoor events

There is so many traditional and contemporary tent options that would suit outdoor events perfectly.  As a result, outdoor events have become very popular in recent years due to their ability to be modular and funky.  Options to use either easy to use and cheap to source tents or the more contemporary, customisable stretch marquees can transform an event into a striking and contemporary affair.  Boasting so many fabric options, colours and configurations, they convey  flexibility and character to your special event.

So whatever location you choose for your event, make sure you design a wonderland for the senses.  Make your event stand out with an unforgettable location that complements your event perfectly and makes your celebrations shine!
