Could the secret to unforgettable experiences lie not in what we do, but in #whowemeet❔❔   "The Friendship Metric in Hospitality" coined by Susie Arnett uncovers the magic of #GuestToGuest (G2G) value co-creation, revealing that the most memorable moments - be it at a bustling theatre festival or a thought-provoking museum tour - stem from often unplanned human connection.   The memories that linger longest aren't those of formally structured events and experiences, but of our meaningful interactions with other guests and visitors along the way.   Explore this paradigm shift: where #eventsuccess is measured by the depth of connection, transforming mere visits into lifelong memories:

Event planners have the pressure of crafting unforgettable experiences. Whether it’s a wedding, corporate gathering, or festival, every detail counts and the right DJ can be your secret weapon for success. Previously, I had the privilege of DJing at the Philly Chocolate, Wine, and Whiskey Festival at the Philly Expo. It was an incredible experience to see how music elevated the entire event. Guests were not just enjoying the tastings, they were dancing, laughing, and connecting. The energy was contagious, and it made me think about how vital a DJ can be to an event’s success. Here’s why a DJ is more than just “entertainment”: 1️⃣ Setting the Mood: A great DJ doesn’t just play music, they curate the vibe. From background tunes during networking to high-energy tracks that keep guests on the dance floor, we create moments people remember. 2️⃣ Keeping the Flow: Timing is everything. Whether it’s announcing activities, building anticipation for keynote speakers, or transitioning seamlessly between segments, a DJ ensures everything runs smoothly. 3️⃣ Enhancing the Experience: Guests love a good playlist, but they remember the moments that make them feel something. A skilled DJ knows how to read the crowd, elevate the atmosphere, and leave everyone talking about the event for days. For event planners, this means happier clients, glowing reviews, and repeat business. Imagine your client saying, “That event was so much fun, we need to book them again!” To my fellow event professionals: • What do you look for in a DJ? • How has a great DJ helped you elevate your events? • If you’re a DJ, how do you work to become an event planner’s go-to partner? Let’s collaborate and make every event unforgettable! #EventPlanning #EventMarketing #DJ #CorporateEvents #EventSuccess #WineFestival #Eventplanner

Open question to planners/promoters: Is it really necessary for an event to expand when successful? Or is it better to retain the exclusivity of a smaller event (context below) Another successful event last week, a couple of tickets shy of a sellout actually (fully tooting our horn here, the team put a lot of work into it) We were approached by a DJ afterwards singing her praises on the event, saying that we should expand into larger venues with a better headcount, increase ticket price to cover any overhead. Not sure how I feel about that, with the current set up everyone has a good time and gets paid, the venue are happy, and we're creating a space for a more dedicated following.

Togather is partnering with GALA Festival again this year 🥳 If you know, you know. If you don’t 👉🏻 GALA has become one of the UK’s most popular day festivals and takes place in Peckham Rye Park in May. The Togather team went along together last year and had an absolute blast (don’t ask me if knew who any of the DJs were). Company socialising can often be limited to Christmas parties, in-office events or pub visits and while these are all great, these day festivals can be a great alternative. Why? 👇🏻 ☑ Quality time together: Time spent socially can often feel cut short. Spending a good ten hours together with no expectations is a completely different ballpark and you come out of it knoing so many people in the team much better. ☑ Truly switching off: Naturally, people can be a little tentative when socialising with workmates, but after we’d been at GALA for a few hours it was as if any element of guards being up dropped and people switching off ☑ Making company memories: A big part of company culture is built off those memories of the really amazing times you’ve had together, and I know that almost a year on our team are still reminiscing about this event! ☑ Building new bridges: While we always try and be mindful of cliques, getting the whole team together was a great opportunity for people to get to know others they didn’t necessarily speak to daily and form new connections. So my advice, try and get a big event like this in your company's social calendar each year! 🎉

Entertainment Will Engage Guests Even with the most brilliant event designs and stunning venues, your guests will still need to be engaged from start to finish. Corporate events with stage presentations won’t be enough. Traditional social events with buffet lines, sprawling table settings, and organized table registrations won’t be enough either. Look to your entertainment elements to be engaging beyond all those other event must-haves. Comedians can keep an audience laughing. DJs can keep audiences dancing. And Celebrity Guest Speakers, can keep guests star-struck. Those engaging responses are what determine the overall success of your event.
