With Halloween right around the corner, experts from the events team at the Hyatt Regency Dallas share tips on how to face the fears of private meetings and events.
Dietary Demons
With dietary restrictions becoming more frequent today, the best way to please everyone is working with a caterer to plan a menu of mostly a la carte options. Buffet stations with clear labels also work well.
Technology Terrors
To ensure smooth technology usage, involve the venue’s A/V team into the earliest stages of the planning process. Ask questions and pay close attention to clearly understand the capabilities you are working with.
Spacing Spooks
With planning from out of town becoming more and more popular, if you are unable to visit the space before booking it, ask to see the spaces’ layout and floor plan and even planning software if possible before signing a contact. Trust the venue contact, seeing as they know the space’s ins and out’s better than anyone else.
Budget Boogieman
To ensure stress is low when dealing with finances, clearly disclose your client’s budget with the event manager at the beginning of the planning process. If everyone is on the same page from day one it makes for less room for error.
Past Poltergeists
Don’t let past mistakes ruin your future planning. Learning from your mistakes is the best way to grow.
