Planning - Defining the story of the event

Events are stories waiting to be told to the guests, and every event has its own narrative. Bringing that narrative to life is very important when it comes to organizing events.

Careful planning also allows you to scale your event accordingly if there is any surge in the guest list.

The process - Orchestration of the plan

Setting up a client's meeting

No matter how many years of experience you have in event management, you cannot organize a successful event without taking input from the client. Schedule a meeting to discuss all the key details and requirements of the event to start planning. This will give you an idea of what you are dealing with and what are the client's expectations to make the event successful.key inputs to gather from the client:

• Event type and details
• Guest management
• Services required
• Logistics
• Event location
• Mode of communication
• Budget allocation

Discuss the budget allocation clearly, where client want to spend more? And where the client wants to cut the costs. This is very important in providing a seamless customer experience.

Plan on the allocated budget

Now that you have understood what exactly the client wants and their expectations, start planning the event based on the allocated budget. Roughly estimate all the potential expenses for the booked services and logistics. This may often include decoration, catering, guest management, transportation, entertainment, marketing, invitation cards, technological needs, and any other personal needs.

Now categorize and prioritize expenses, every cost can be cut down, you just have to understand where the cost cuttings are least noticeable to increase your profit margins and also provide a memorable event experience to your client. Regularly monitor and adjust the budget to make sure everything is under the assigned budget. Overall create an actionable road plan from the beginning to the end for executing the event seamlessly. Also, make sure to set deadlines for each category and finish everything before the day of the event.

Event promotion

Once the guest list, event date, and event location are confirmed, start marketing the event. If it is a corporate event, use social media and flyers to effectively promote the event to gain maximum exposure. Make sure these posts and flyers are engaging and are designed by keeping in mind the target audience. In the case of personal events, guests might be expecting invitation cards, so make minimalistic yet creative cards because the guest list is very tight.

Creating the day of event timeline

This is the most important thing to provide a coordinated and seamless event experience to your client. Create a detailed timeline of the event day. Mark every hour of the event day and assign what things need to be done in that particular timeframe. Visualize the entire event from the beginning to the end, and map out the event flow to understand the potential bottlenecks. This will help you to organize the event better without any hurdles. Also, remember to take all the safety and emergency measures to ensure the safety of both clients and the property.
