Planning Your Event in Boston
Beautifully located to experience all four distinct seasons, Boston is the perfect location to host a memorable event. With that being said, depending on the season, planning an event in Boston can be more or less challenging. Here are some things you should consider before booking a venue in Boston.
Determine your Budget – The most important step in planning an event is figuring out your budget. It's no good having the most amazing venue but being unable to afford sufficient catering. Account first for the expenses that will be there no matter what—things like booking a venue, catering, and entertainment.
Find the Perfect Space – Hosting an event is no easy feat, and it starts with choosing the right venue. If you're hosting a party for your friends, know your audience. If you're hosting a public party, you'll need to account for the higher number of people and factor in the weather before booking outdoor party venues. Decide on a theme, and then start looking for the perfect space!
Food and Beverages – An event won't be complete without food and beverages. That said, it's not as easy as it sounds, especially for outdoor events. You'll need to coordinate things like keeping the food warm (or chilled) throughout the evening, having a varied enough menu to suit all dietary restrictions, and having a sufficient variety of drinks.
Promote the Event – Whether you're hosting a gathering with friends or a large open party, you'll need to build up expectations if you want to create the right atmosphere. Start by leveraging social media and word of mouth. Finish with the most inspiring decorations; before you know it, you'll be welcoming your guests and planning your next event!
How to Save Money on Your Event in Boston
You're almost done with your preparation and are ready to book the venue and start securing entertainment and refreshments. But how can you stretch your money to make the most of your budget? Here are some tips to get you started.
Factor in the catering.
By the numbers, catering is the second most significant expense you'll incur when planning a party, especially in Boston, one of the most expensive cities in the world. Before deciding on a menu, do your research. Do any of your attendees have dietary restrictions? Offer enough options, but keep the menu as small as possible. Consider preparing the refreshments yourself to save even more.
Make your own decorations.
You don't have to spend much on decorations to make your event memorable. Consider making your own decorations; shop at local thrift stores or look up inspiring DIY projects with recycled materials. Showcase your creativity and give your party that special touch!
What amenities does the venue offer?
It's no good booking a venue with lots of specialized equipment that you won't use. Before reserving a venue, check all the amenities they offer. Do you need professional sound systems, or can you bring your own? Maybe you need lighting rigs or canopies for an outdoor event. Consider this when booking a venue and negotiating with the owner—most are willing to reach common ground.
