1. Location, location, location:

Selecting the perfect venue is fundamental for the success of your event. Consider the vibe, accessibility, and ambiance. Historical landmarks, scenic landscapes, and urban chic spaces offer a rich palette. Pro tip: speak with Big Red Beard for our help in sourcing unique and versatile location solutions that’ll make your event stand out like a rockstar.

 

2. Catering fit for the King:

Most events are partly (or largely) judged on what they have on offer to eat and drink. Choose caterers or vendors who understand the importance of a good scran (and good customer service). Your guests will thank you.

 

3. Weather-proofing your event:

In the UK, more often than not, rain is as much a part of the scenery as the rolling hills. Be prepared with covered areas (our event gazebos are the ideal solution to this), rain plans, ground protection, and a good attitude of "the show must go on."

 

4. Engage your audience:

Create an experience that leaves a long-lasting impression. Interactive elements, engaging performers or speakers, and “Insta-worthy” moments are the ingredients for success.

 

5. Keep calm and plan on:

In the world of event planning, surprises are like unexpected guests – inevitable. Stay calm, adapt, and keep the event train chugging along. A good planner is an event’s best friend, always has the right answer and ready to handle a crisis.
