Need Help In Planning A Corporate Barbeque?

A corporate barbeque event is a great way to promote a healthy work culture in an organization. For it to be successful, it requires proper planning on transportation needs, venue and who to attend. And because a barbeque event cannot be complete without the delicious drinks and food, you also want to plan on these as well. This article has gathered together some important tips to help you in planning a corporate barbeque event:

Where to start

Before you begin doing other things, it is very important that you have a clear idea of what is exactly you are trying to achieve, as well as how you want the barbeque event to be like on the material day. Sometimes it is imperative that you give everyone a chance to air out their views on what they think is good or bad. Another important factor is to know what each one's role will be especially in the organization of the barbeque event. Decide this in the beginning so that each and every person knows who is going to be responsible for what. While at it, keep in mind these important factors; number of guests and budget.

Finding a venue

This may seem a daunting task especially if it is your first time. One thing you should note is that it all depends on what you require as well as your budget. You may want to consider the number of guests to attend, so if you expect over fifty guests, then you will require enough amount of space to accommodate everyone. Sometimes there are fire regulations that may give a maximum capacity in a venue, so you want to know what capacity seating or standing regulations in that region are.

You may want to search the internet and newspapers for venues that will work for your barbeque event. Also, you can drive around the area shopping for a good venue. This way, you will come across a venue you never thought of. And if you are on budget, you may want to get a land space where you can set up a marquee. And this option is great also because you have all the freedom to hold the event the way you want.

Drinks

Are you planning your barbeque event at a venue that has a bar? If so, they may want to provide you with drinks. So, you want to have a set amount that should be spent at the venue or just have an open bar where guests can drink as they please.

Hiring barbeque catering service provider

You need to have some basic information about barbeque catering service providers before you even settle on one. Of course cost is an important factor to consider when hiring such a provider and this will be attributed to the amount of guests, the children and the kind of food that you would like. Another important thing to consider is their experience in offering barbeque catering services. Do they only offer that, or they also include other services such as entertainment in the package? If for instance the event calls for entertainment, you may want to go for something that everyone will enjoy. Bungee jumps, bands, discos and kids entertainers are some of the entertainment you can choose from.

The main point is the type of people you want to entertain and you can always let your provider know about it in advance. You also want to work with a reputable and licensed catering provider.
