Your Event Checklist Made Simple
It’s been a while since we’ve all enjoyed regular in-person get-togethers, but that’s not keeping us from getting excited for the events we’ll be hosting in the future!
We’ve learned a thing or two during our time in the event venue industry and we’re excited to share our best tips for hosting the perfect in-person event at Studio Q!
1. Plan Activities
Don’t expect your guests to stand around and twiddle their thumbs. It’s important to plan engaging activities that will keep your guests engaged. This can be tangible, interactive, or both!
A photo booth lets your guests bring home a moment of the night (and share with others). A maker station keeps your guests busy and engaged and gives them a bonus take home gift. Hosting vendor tables allow your event to support other businesses. Simple group games make for great activities too. Jenga is perfect for this at a space the size of Studio Q!
2. Bring on the Food
Providing tasty snacks is key to keeping your guests happy (and spending more time at your event)! You can either bring in your own or let us connect you with one of our favorite local caterers to make sure everyone enjoys every bite!
4. Don’t Forget Drinks
Whether your guests prefer cocktails or mocktails, socializing or strategizing both require good hydration! We have some great recommendations for bartenders who will top off your event in style!
4. Speakers & Panels
Bringing in experts from around the community or within your industry to speak on relevant, timely, or interesting topics can help bring guests to your event. Plus, speakers and panelists help provide structure to your event and really give people a reason to get excited about joining in the fun!
5. Location, location, location!
You’ve heard it so many times, but it’s so important ( and true)! Make sure your venue meets all your event’s needs — including parking, bathroom facilities, and guest capacity. Don’t forget to remember the time you’ll need for setup and tear down when booking!
6. Swag Bags
One of the best ways to thank your guests for attending your event is with a little something to show your appreciation and gratitude. Sending them home with a swag bag of goodies lets them remember the event (and you) fondly!
