Planning a corporate event can seem like a stressful task, but if you prepare months in advance it can be quite successful. If you’re planning an event for a corporate client it’s important to know the budget. Knowing how much money you can allocate to food, beverage, decorations and entertainment will help you in the long run. Creating a proposal template will help you keep track of how much things cost and the quantity of how many items you need. Your client will request a proposal from you, so they can know how much they’ll spend.

Now, once you have your budget created you can began to purchase many of the items listed above. Depending on the type of corporate client you have will determine the type of decorations you’ll need. It’s important to not decorate a corporate event like you would for a baby shower or birthday party, however there are some clients that will have themes they’ll want you to execute that might be fun and kid-like.

Ultimately, whenever you plan your corporate event make sure you have enough staff to cover your event if you’re serving food and drink. It’s also important to give yourself ample time when setting up tables and different areas for your event. When storing food make sure you keep it at its respective temperatures, so everything tastes good. Finally, a few items we think are important for you to pack are:

• Scissors
• Wine opener
• Tape
• Push-pins/Safety pins
• Pens
