I love the cocktail hour because it is a great way for guests to relax and talk amongst themselves at an event before the main event gets going. Pinterest is full of great cocktail hour ideas for all event types. Here are a few of my favorites:

Football season is upon us and that means tailgating! Tailgating has come a long way from the days of inviting a few friends over before the game and throwing some burgers on the grill. These days it is quite the event involving bringing out the big screen to watch all the pre-game festivities and lots of great table set-ups for 50 or so of your best friends. Sometimes the tailgate is more eventful than the game. Tailgating has also become big business for many rental companies expanding their business models to not only supplying the tables and chairs, but also setting the tailgate up for fans. If your rental company is looking for an additional income stream, this may be just what you’ve been looking for.

It seems as if every commercial lately has something to do with Christmas in July. You may be thinking that Christmas is a long ways off, but if you do the math, it is only five months away--that is approximately 20 weeks out. In all reality, now is the perfect time to book Christmas events. Companies are already thinking about Christmas parties and getting event locations and dates nailed down. Some companies may want to stick with the same thing they have done in years past, because it is easy to book and they know the venue staff will take care of their needs. You know, the old saying, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” This is all well and good, if you are that venue, but what if you are not. How do you convince the company to give your venue a try this year?

holiday celebration

The temperatures are finally cooling down and that means fall has finally arrived. I like to refer to the period beginning with Labor Day to New Year’s Day as the holidays. Once Labor Day arrives there are very few weekends left during this time for consumers to host holiday-related parties. As a service provider, it is your time to capitalize on the parties by offering consumers a wide variety of products to assist in easy party planning allowing them to enjoy the event. Offering clients a variety of products also allows them to spend their budget dollars more efficiently by keeping them from shelling out their money to purchase party equipment like tables, chairs and other hospitality items.
