When it comes to running a corporate event in a mega-city such as London, it is important you get it right first time. Here are some of the important points to remember.
London is alive with possibilities for corporate event venues. Whether you are after the traditional and historical or something more contemporary, then you will find it in the city. From the sumptuous surroundings of Apothecarie's Hall to the minimalist and modern America Square Conference Centre, there is something to meet all needs in this vibrant city.
If you have been tasked with running a corporate event in the city, the chances are that you could do with some help. Whether it is a bit of guidance on securing the venue and hiring a catering company, through to running the entire event, a well-respected and trusted event management team will make sure things go the way you want them to.
Getting the refreshments right is a must at a corporate event. Whether it is alcohol, non-alcoholic drinks or teas and coffees, you want to give your guests the very best. Look for a company that specialises in events like yours and make sure that your early discussions make it clear what your requirements and expectations are.
Add a little sparkle to your event with some bespoke decorations. Whether it is a themed event, a black tie occasion or just a chance to show some great hospitality, then hire a company that will give your occasion a wow factor.
Make your corporate event a day/night to remember with some top-class and unique entertainment. Music, dance, comedy, acrobatics – the world of entertainment is at your fingertips, just let your imagination run wild! On the other hand, you might be looking for a high profile presenter or guest at your event, again, your entertainment provider should be able to get you a celebrity or high profile guest to match your requirements.
Record your event for posterity with a fabulous video of the day as it unfolds. There are some great ways of showcasing your event, so talk to your video production company about some of the ways you can be creative around your event. This is the ideal way to market your company, to promote your brand and present your image, so be sure to explore your options.
Corporate event photography is a finite art, and it is a great way to showcase your events in their best light. Make sure you hire a company that is experienced, has good testimonials and is happy to discuss your requirements and aspirations to ensure your event gets the best coverage possible. You are looking for a company that is fully engaged in the day, but remains in the background throughout.
