When you are running an event, the success of it is primarily down to the people who run it. Therefore, choosing trustworthy and reliable companies that will help you out and follow your ethos is essential. Here are some key services that may come in use during the lead-up to your event…
Firstly, if you haven’t already organised this then you must have an event planner. Having one person in charge of coordinating the event and managing the logistics is key to making everything run smoothly. It also means that everyone working for the event knows who to go to for advice or to check things over.
If your event requires catering, it is important to get this aspect right. Food and drink is an integral part of an event and are usually the make or break between it being something that people remember or your average event. Make sure to help design menus, taste test food and look at reviews.
Hiring an event photographer or videographer is great for promotional value, especially if you are planning on running the event again. It is a good way of encapsulating the atmosphere and highlights that you can post in the future. Equally, event goers love a photographer and the opportunity to get their photo taken.
It is likely that you will be taking equipment and supplies back and forth between warehouses and the event venue. Therefore, it can be extremely worthwhile to hire a van for the days leading up to the event. Van Hire Bristol provides a range of van sizes on daily rates, perfect for transfers and general back and forth.
Cleaners may be your lifesaver when it comes to the aftermath of your event. Although you may want to attempt the effort between your event team, hiring professionals can make the job quicker, and more efficient and gives the other staff the time to sort out what they know best!
Make sure that you do not underestimate the need for toilets. A lot of events make the mistake of under-hiring toilet cubicles, and it can ruin the experience of your guests with the long ques and messy cubicles.
It is most environmentally friendly to hire local companies if possible. It means they will be travelling from shorter distances and have knowledge of the local area too. You can also get recommendations from people that you know rather than trusting online reviews alone.
