Although everyone is likely to experience a few roadblocks once in a while while preparing for the event, there are a few mishaps that can be warded off. And so live event production is fundamentally about being very well prepared. To make sure all functions as without a problem, write a “to do” list to ensure you haven’t missed any of the essential points of event planning. The points below are just example problems to look out for. Consequently, it’s requisite to plan for all prospective issues - the points below are far from an exhaustive list of what to plan for.

Before ratifying a contract, make sure the event doesn’t take place on any major holiday or on the day of an important sporting event. Check when public school holidays are, as many parents may plan to take their families out of town during that time. It is obligatory that you confirm the event date with all invites to verify that everyone knows the location and time of the event.

Take a look at the location before booking it. It may be hard to make the time to do an on-site visit, but this really is a requirement. By seeing the venue before the event, you guarantee your understanding of the physical size, the ambience, and the level of trouble in travelling to the location. It will also help you in producing precise maps and directions for your guests, and permit you to introduce yourself to the staff you’ll be co-operating with at the venue.

Get specific - do not agree to a contract unless it is appropriately thorough in its terms and conditions. It is not good enough to merely expect unclear words to carry the same meaning to both parties of the contract. If feasible, state all the times, dates and prices in the contract. E.g., if a location is experiencing redevelopment, it ought to be stated clearly when this redevelopment work will be finished.

Plan ahead. Create several back up plans in the event your first plan of action just won’t work with the budget or timing. Never take for granted that everything will work itself out. Go over every detail at least two times and make lists to help keep you on track.
