Want to Make your Corporate Event Memorable?

Event Organisers No Comments

With the summer fast approaching, many companies across the country will be turning their attention to the annual summer party. It’s a tradition that has been adopted by many businesses and acts as a bridge between the hot summer months and the other half of the year when we anticipate the festive season and the oncoming office parties. When organising a corporate event, it can be difficult to find the right team of people, and whilst doing it in-house may seem like the best solution, your employees may struggle to find time to undertake the plans alongside trying to continue their normal day jobs. To eliminate this and have the re-assurance that everything is taken care of, why not invest in event organisers from here at G&D Events? We’ve worked on everything from birthday parties, Christmas parties and corporate events, so you can feel confident that our team have the expertise and knowledge to ensure your event goes off with a bang.

Whether it’s simply a party to let your hair down after a busy first half of the year or you’re launching a new product or service, you will no doubt want to ensure your corporate event is memorable for all involved. With our creativity and magic, this is something that we are passionate about achieving. 

Our corporate event management team will work with you to get an idea and feel of what you want from your event, and we make it our mission to ensure that next week when everyone is back in the office, talk soon moves around the party and what happened; “Did you see the photo booth hire?” “How great was that party?!” This is when you know you have achieved success as your event remains on people’s minds for days after.

As professional event organisers, here at G&D Events we pride ourselves on the service we deliver, and understand the importance of making your corporate event memorable. Contact us today on 0207 682 2682 to have a chat with one of our friendly team about how we can help you.

Getting a Party Planner for Summer Weddings

Party Planners No Comments

Whatever the time of year, your wedding day will be the happiest day of your life, but there is nothing quite like getting married on a beautiful summer's day. Of course, being Britain there is no guarantee that a summer date will guarantee you lovely weather, but employing a wedding party planner can at least take the uncertainty out of the organisation. At G&D Events, we can offer a comprehensive wedding planning service to make sure you get hitched without a hitch.

Eliminate Wedding Day Stress

The day you join in matrimony with the love of your life is one of life's great moments, but for many the day itself can be filled with stress and worry. Will the caterers turn up on time, will the entertainment do a good job? With a wedding planner, a lot of these concerns can be alleviated leaving you to just worry about choosing between gold and silver jewellery

A Service That Pays for Itself

If you're trying to arrange your big day yourself, you might be taken by surprise at how much there is to arrange. It is a workload that can easily get on top of people and cause them to start pulling their hair out as they agonise over decisions to make as the costs spiral out of control.

At G&D Events, we have years of wedding planning experience and have the knowledge and contacts to be able to get every aspect of your wedding perfect for you. We are also experienced in the art of negotiating, so we can make significantly more savings than if you'd tried to arrange things yourself.

At G&D Events, we understand and respect how important your wedding day is, and we provide a tailored service to ensure your summer wedding is as perfect as you've always dreamed of. To find out more about how our party planner service can help you, call us now on 0207 682 2682.

Creating a Buzz with Corporate Event Organisers

Event Organisers No Comments

Event – the mere word should stir excitement for those eagerly waiting for the day to arrive, but unfortunately, corporate events have obtained a reputation for being dull and predictable; to create an air of anticipation and excitement around your future events you need to call in the professional corporate event organisers here at G & D Events.

Corporate events are held for a number of reasons, whether it’s a product launch, a business networking opportunity or indeed a celebration of the all the hard-work performed by employees; but whatever the event, the aim is to make it memorable for all the right reasons. Planning, designing and implementing a corporate event is never easy, which is why an inexperienced member of your team will struggle to stage an event that represents your corporate identity, is completely original, and which encourages everyone to relax and enjoy themselves.

The event organisers found here at G & D Events are highly experienced professionals, equipped with the necessary contacts and creative flair to bring to life a corporate event that exceeds both yours and your guests’ expectations. Once you’ve held an event organised by us, you will never want to go back to trying to arrange one yourself.

Organising an event which is successful is essential for many corporations, as the success of the event represents, to a small degree, the business' ability to meet the needs of their clients, business partners and employees – a task which can be very difficult. If you want to host a corporate event that sets you apart and marks you as a thriving enterprise, then its time you called G & D Events to speak to one of their corporate event organisers.

Mistakes Party Planners Would Avoid

Party Planners No Comments

There’s a reason why party planners are hired by people the world over, and it isn’t just to aid in crafting a truly memorable day or night, but also to avoid any mistakes and hurdles that might come into play on the run up to the event or even on the big day itself. At G & D Events, party planning is our profession and it is our exemplary skills at organising the best events and avoiding any mistakes that has made us one of the premier party planners in Britain.

By choosing us to organise your event, whether it is for a company celebration or the biggest day of your life – your wedding, you will avoid mistakes those without the experience might make, which include:
 

Finding the Right Venue

The venue is the foundation of your event and without knowing what price you should be paying or what other venue hire opportunities are out there, you could end up making a big mistake. However, as long-time event organisers we have built up a large database of venues and have an excellent working relationship with each of them.
 

Forgetting the Little Details

Whatever the event is, you will be surprised at the whirlwind of aspects and ideas you have to take into account, and when working in your own job or dealing with a family, covering everything can prove to be an extremely troublesome task. All of our events are meticulously planned and the little things such as décor or important tasks such as Big Day Management are all taken care of.
 

Checking and Checking Again

As we just mentioned, attempting to plan an event yourself will leave you rushed off your feet and after choosing entertainment for instance, you might just forget about it all together. We will make sure to check things over with all aspects of your event to ensure that everyone is on time and the day runs smoothly.

Party planners are a must for any event and with G and D Events the planning is second to none. If you need wedding party planners or a company to take care of a product release, get in touch with us today.

Whether you managed to get your hands on a coveted ticket or not, all the excitement doesn’t just have to take place inside the stadiums, and it is our belief that the unique atmosphere of each event, from running to rowing can be re-created inside your very own London 2012 party or event. G and D Party Planners are able to design a party that is tailor-made to your own and your guests’ desires, with no party being the same. So we could create a party that is as fast paced as a Usain Bolt 100-metre sprint or a unique event that is as colourful and eye-catching as the logo itself.

Whatever it is you have in mind, from photo booth hire to an extravagant outdoor event, we are constantly striving for excellence and make it our duty to treat each client as a completely new venture. We realise that some may want to utilise our extensive background in nightclubs to create a party, while others might want a daytime event that is fun for the entire family or workforce.
