Bespoke Private Events For Christmas

By Jerrard Wayne


When planning a private event for your Christmas event, it may be worth investigating the possibility of using an events organiser who will have much experience in creating successful private events.

The Christmas period presents with it the opportunity to create a bespoke private event to celebrate the festive season. The utmost priority when thinking about your event is considering the objective; will you be supporting a charity? Are you wanting to celebrate with family and friends? Or are you simply wanting to celebrate all things Christmassy?

The basics of any successful event remain the same; it's all in the preparation and planning. Below you will find a list of important elements to consider before moving ahead with your bespoke private event planning:

- The starting point when planning your party is to firstly determine your budget, this will not only impact upon your choice of venue but also the number of guests you are capable of hosting. Therefore, this should be worked out prior to any real momentum is made through any other ideas.

- Your venue can make or break an event. Most reputable event planners will offer you a venue sourcing service which may prove more cost effective due to their connections.

- Consider having a theme for your party as this can be a fantastic icebreaker. It is important to make this decision early as it will inform your choice of venue, dresscode and food.

- Entertainment is one of the most important elements of any private event. Dependent upon those attending, you may decide that a DJ or live band is most appropriate. Alternatively, you may consider slightly less conventional entertainment, such as a comedian, a fun fair or a casino, oxygen bars or other options that will provide a real talking point and make your event special.

- Any menu requests should be made prior to the evening and all catering options should be thought through. A sit down meal may be better if partners are invited, whereas if it is more social and interacting is important then you might consider fingerfood or a buffet.

- A professional events organiser can ensure that all contracts are read and negotiated properly and will check all licensing issues regarding alcohol and noise, plus checking that the venue has public liability insurance.
