Again, our thanks for a fantastic event!

Corporate Function Check List

When planning your corporate event, be sure to tick off these essential items:

Menu
• Your event co-ordinator is a good resource when it comes to selecting your menu, as they have the experience in what dishes work best with large groups and what is best avoided.
For example; steak can only be served medium in a function setting, which may only please a limited number of guests, so a better option may be a braised red meat plus a chicken or fish dish.
You may also love freshly shucked natural oysters, and be drawn to the idea of serving them to your guests, however in reality few people actually eat them when served at functions.
• Be sure to confirm the dietary requirements of all guests (ie gluten free, vegetarian)

Beverage Package

• Will you select a set beverage package or arrange a bar tab?

Music / Entertainment
• Will background music suffice or do you require a lively band?

Photography
• Don't forget the photographer! Click here to find out why a photographer for your corporate event is so valuable.

Decorations / Theming
• Understated elegance or loud fun theming?
• What about table settings? - flowers, balloons, candles, fruit or something entirely different
• Chair covers add to the look and feel of the venue - large variety of colours and styles.
• Are flowers required for the event?

Audio Visual Equipment
• Consider what equipment is needed for the event. A single microphone or large screens for visual presentations

Invitations
• Environmentally invitations can be sent via email
• Provide clear directions and a map for the venue
