7 Mistakes To Avoid For Your Brooklyn Corporate Events

May 18, 2017 By El Caribe Caterers

7 Mistakes To Avoid For Your Brooklyn Corporate Events

So you’re looking for Brooklyn Corporate Events space for your next big event. Where do you begin? There are host of things to consider especially if you’ve never done this before. We understand your frustration and want to help. Here are 7 mistakes to avoid creating your Brooklyn corporate event or event anywhere.

  1. Poor Event Date
    It’s important to plan carefully for your date. You don’t want to plan your NYC or Brooklyn corporate events too close to major holidays or vacationing times. These might include Christmas Holidays and summer holidays and vacation times. This could affect attendance.
  2. Long Speeches
    Most people like corporate events, especially if there is good food. No one likes a long speech. Plan the timing of your speeches and presentations in detail to the minute. It’s best to set an end time for those speeches rather than beginning time. That way if someone does run over you continue to stay on time with the next speech ending as it should. You can even use a trick from the Academy Awards. To keep things on schedule they use music, an orchestra to wrap up their award acceptance speech. Use a DJ instead.
  3. Neglecting To Have A Venue Walk Thru
    You really need to know if the space is right for the event. It allows you to meet the venue staff you’ll be working with, discover technical elements and determine if there is enough room for your guests.
  4. Lack of Checklists
    Our brains can only retain so much information. Inevitably something will be overlooked. Use checklists to help you organize, break down the details and get things done. Share these lists with those delegated to help you execute the event.
  5. Poor Food
    Food is critical to a great event. We’ve all be to event where the food was a bit lackluster to say the least. If the food is poor, the event becomes very long and the attention of your attendees wanes. Make sure your guests and attendees are taken care of. Avoid poor menu and food. It will be worth it in the end.
  6. Lack of Entertainment
    You want to wow your guests and attendees and engage them at your corporate event, whether for a company or invitees. Don’t forget to consider entertainment. You can use entertainment to greet guest, open the event, give them a break during the event or end it with a big bang of entertainment. You want the event to memorable. Don’t forget the entertainment.
  7. Lack of Theme
    You’re creating your event with a purpose in mind. Add a theme to engage your attendees. Be careful not to go overboard to distract from your message. Use a theme as a way to convey your message and make it memorable.
