FIVE MISTAKES TO AVOID SO YOUR CORPORATE FUNCTION, WEDDING OR EVENT IS A WIN

–1–
NOT HAVING STYLE WITH PURPOSE

Base your style on what the end result of the event should be. “It’s a corporate function”. Sure, but is it aiming to keep current clients or is it aiming to be a fun end of year celebration for staff? Two different purposes. “It’s a wedding”. Right, but to humbly charm everyone in the country or to be classy Melbournians’ in the heart of the city? Establish the purpose, then go for a vibe that consistently supports that.

NOT STARTING EARLY ENOUGH

Events that have three layers of gloss on them are the ones where the bulk of the planning was sorted early, providing time for the memorable touches and magic to be considered. Get your suppliers and your Melbourne grazing table locked in, leave plenty of time to, you know. enjoy. the. day.

–3–
NOT HAVING FLEXIBILITY

Insurance against a bad event can be as simple as a plan B; a cozy marquee as backup if the sun turns to horizontal rain (because Melbourne) or a bunch of umbrellas with the brand’s logo on them. Turn a negative straight back into a positive for your event planning black belt.

–4–
NOT HAVING ENOUGH FOOD

“We ran out.” or “Sorry, none left”. These are just not phrases that make the perfect Melbourne wedding or an impressive Melbourne corporate event. Especially catering, you just want to have plenty. Make your Nonna proud, over-cater and go home with a full belly and a big smile knowing your guests enjoyed a great event.

–5–
NOT HAVING A PLAN AT ALL

Nobody ever had a great time at a corporate event or a beautiful wedding that was thrown together. It doesn’t matter if it’s anniversary catering or birthday food, plan it out in 30 minute increments and you’ll see if there are any dud bits.
