Planning an event for your client? Avoid these mistakes I've made in the past 𝐎𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐥𝐞: A packed agenda can overwhelm attendees. Allow for breaks to keep energy levels high. *True story: Imagine being told by a client that they’d barely been able to speak to an old friend from overseas because I had crammed a team-building game and video viewing in before the meal and as soon as they sat down, there was a round of speeches that ran until the friend’s taxi to the airport! 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐣𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: If calculating event timing isn’t your forte, lean on tools, take the time and get it right. *True story: I once underestimated the time needed for setting up an outdoor event, leading to having “stall” guests in another part of the estate. Since that stressful afternoon, I first calculate down to the last minute THEN allocate (and if necessary, budget for) extra time at every step. 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐇𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐮𝐩 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧: Get yourself a plan A, B, C… *True story: During a major event, I discovered that the seating arrangements didn’t match the final guest count. I had no contingency plan and had to quickly rearrange (differently coloured and sized) chairs to accommodate everyone. 𝐍𝐞𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰-𝐔𝐩: Good checklists don’t end when the first guest arrives. *True story: After one event, I completely forgot to send thank-you notes to each attendee and gathering their feedback. I had no tangible way of knowing what worked and what didn’t. I also missed out on the chance to connect with dozens of potential future clients. 𝐓𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐦 𝐮𝐩: The Importance of Preparation A well-structured plan not only avoids panic moments but also enhances the overall experience for everyone involved. If you want to sidestep my mistakes, 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐧𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭! https://lnkd.in/gq4j5DZd #eventplanningtips #eventplanner #eventmanagement #eventsuccess #planningmadeeasy #clientevents #professionalplanning #eventchecklist #learnfrommistakes #eventtemplates #estatemanagement
