Outdoor Corporate Event Planning Do’s

Choose Fun Activities for Everyone

Have a Backup Plan in Case of Bad Weather

Mother Nature doesn’t always cooperate (or follow the forecast) so it’s imperative to have a Plan B in case a storm rolls in or the day is brutally hot. Set up large tents or choose a venue with an indoor or covered area available to accommodate guests.

Start Party Planning Early

Nail down a date, a great venue, and entertainment as early as possible. Walk through the venue before booking it to prevent any unwelcome surprises.  If you are planning on having a DJ or band, make sure there is adequate electricity where you need it.  For obvious reasons, make sure that running water and restrooms are nearby.

Provide Some Party Time Essentials

For guests who didn’t some prepared, set up an area for party-goers to grab sunscreen, insect repellent, or other necessary items. That way, there’s no reason for a guest to miss out on the fun.

Outdoor Corporate Event Planning Don’ts

Don’t Pick a Date Near Holidays

To ensure maximum attendance, don’t schedule an event when attendees may be traveling or spending time with family.

Don’t Bore Guests With the Same Activities Each Year

Plan unique team-building activities to keep guests engaged and talking about the event for months to come! Creating a new drink or event hashtag is a fun, unique way to get guests working together.  You can choose from many picnic entertainment options with Black Diamond Casino Events!

Don’t Forget About Guests With Diet Restrictions

Find out if any of your guests have serious food allergies beforehand, and provide dishes that are free of these ingredients. Incorporate vegetarian or vegan options if necessary.

Don’t Neglect Audio & Visual Equipment

Before guests arrive, double-check any equipment you’ll need to make sure it’s working properly. Test electrical outlets, WiFi connections, microphones, and speakers.
