There is a lot of pressure involved when starting to
organise a corporate event. Whether it’s a party to bring employees together
and help team building, a new product launch or to impress
clients and demonstrate the excellence of your company, product or brand is has to be right. Mix
‘n’ Twist offers some tips on setting up and delivering a successful, stress
reduced corporate event that will set you apart from the standard.
Start early
Events always take longer than expected to set up, with
unexpected hiccups arising costing more time. Start with a list of EVERYTHING.
Get all the elements of the event in detail and have a plan B for everything in
case something does go wrong. Ensure that venues, entertainers, caterers and
bartenders are all booked well in advance. Invite all attendees in good time
and send reminders as the event gets closer. The earlier you start the less
stress you will encounter.
Tailor the corporate event to your needs
If you’re having a Christmas party or celebrating new
premises you will need to focus on different things in comparison to a product
launch. Once you have identified the message you want to portray as a business
and what results you want to achieve from the event you can move on with a goal
in mind whether it’s impressing potential and existing clients or bringing a
workforce together to tighten team bonds.
Pick a theme
It’s important to choose a concept for the event. This will
give the event a flow and will make it easier for people to pick up and take
away your message. The theme should be consistent throughout the event from the
food and drink to the decorations to games and prizes all focused around a particular
idea. For example Mix ‘n’ Twist recently created a Team GB cocktail to show
support for the British athletes in the Olympics and Paralympics.Provide a unique experience
You do not want to bore your guests so make sure you have
provided not just sufficient entertainment and activities but also gone the extra
mile so that people will be talking about the event for weeks to come.
Competitions are a great way to engage guests; Mix ‘n’ Twist has had great
success with “Create Your Own Cocktail” competitions, people love getting
behind the bar and shaking their own drinks. Flair bartenders are another
excellent way to show off and add extra style and value to the event.
Enjoy the night
Once you have got all your organising and preparation done,
when all the guests have arrived and the party is in full swing...go enjoy it!
People like to see other people having fun so go mingle, network and maybe even
grab a cocktail!
Mix ‘n’ Twist Bartending can provide a unique corporate
event package that will deliver an outstanding occasion within your budget.
