🎄 How to Plan a Last-Minute Christmas Party Without the Stress 🎄 We get it—time flies, and suddenly it’s December! If you’re scrambling to organise a last-minute Christmas party, here are some quick tips to make it memorable: 1️⃣ Focus on Food & Drinks: According to our poll, it’s the #1 priority for teams. Opt for quality over quantity—plated meals or themed cocktails can elevate the experience. 2️⃣ Pick a Unique Venue: Think outside the box—rooftops, river cruises, or art galleries. A change of scenery does wonders for morale. 3️⃣ Simplify Entertainment: A DJ or a live band can instantly create a festive atmosphere without over-complicating planning. 🎁 Pro Tip: Don’t overthink the details. Your team will appreciate the effort more than perfection! What’s the most creative last-minute party you’ve attended? Let’s inspire each other in the comments!

Throwback to an insanely, fabulous circus themed Halloween party last year for a private household. Whilst we are on Halloween, we have got some fantastic Halloween events lined up this weekend with Evoke Entertainment - but I’ve noticed a huge surge in last-minute booking requests, often paired with very low budgets. I completely understand that budgets are getting tighter across the board in the UK for 2024, however I’ve had to turn down quite a bit of work this past week because the combination of short notice and low budgets just wasn’t achievable for our standard. For the festive and Christmas season, I’d really encourage venues not to fall into this pattern. I know it can be tricky to finalise budgets for ticketed events, but please be upfront from the start with your suppliers. Planning ahead and being clear about your budget really helps and avoids wasting everyone’s time. By having unrealistic expectations or not respecting suppliers' time, you could end up burning bridges with some of the best in the business – and that’s definitely something to avoid for building long standing relationships. There’s certainly a dip in the road this year here in the UK but once things start to boom again which they will, make sure you still have great connections.

I experienced this first hand the other day, with a meal out. I’d never been to Flat Iron before, but they clearly understand the Peak End Rule. Well, they also know the importance of first impressions; with a tasty bowl of popcorn served up as soon as we sat down. But fast forward to the bill, and accompanying it came some mini cleavers, which turned out to be tokens for free (and really good) ice-cream. Yeah, I remember the highlight - the steak. But that ice-cream finish also stands out, and sure did help shape the way I (positively) remembered the overall experience I had! The lesson for festivals and events? You may not be able to shape and influence everyones peak ‘most intense’ points (the highlights), but you sure can try and do something when the time comes for them to leave. And what with the importance of immediately selling tickets for next year's event to this year's customer, the Peak End Rule is something you need to give some attention to. #Festivals #Events #FestivalMarketing #EventMarketing
