Step Two - Things to Consider
How many guests will be attending?
- If you’re not sure on exact numbers it’s better to overestimate than underestimate!
- Think about the maximum number of guests and the expected number of guests.
- How well do you know the guests? Think about ages, gender, departments, seniority.
- Are there any disabilities that need to be considered?
- Knowing characteristics and needs of the team will help with event suggestions; ensuring something suitable for all types.
Do you have a set date & time?
- It’s worth bearing in mind that specific dates in the year and even certain days of the week can be busier than others. More flexibility will often mean better venue rates.
- Are you planning an evening or day murder mystery?
- How much notice will you give guests? Short notice, Friday nights and weekends may not work so well if they have family commitments.
- Can the date tie in with other occasions? Team meeting, conference, product launch etc..
Location & Venue?
- Where is the group based?
- Do you have a set location or venue in mind?
- How will the guests get to/from the venue?
- Do you need any overnight accommodation?
