Local Corporate Event Entertainment Planning
Corporate events can be a great way to build team morale and show clients your appreciation. However, if not done correctly, they can also be a huge drain on company resources. Here are some tips on how to enhance your corporate event without breaking the bank.
Make a budget and stick to it for your corporate event
When planning and executing a corporate event, making and sticking to a budget can be a vital part of creating a successful event. Setting a budget before the planning begins will help you to stay on track throughout the entire organizing process and ensure that your team stays within their limits. Moreover, it will also help you to determine expectations; if an idea exceeds the allotted budget, then you can make smart and timely decisions as to whether or not it surpasses the original vision of the event. A budget should also include any hidden costs such as taxes, decorations and giveaways – so that absolutely nothing is left out. Taking all this into consideration, having and adhering to a smart budget is definitely something every planner should consider when organizing corporate events.
Find the right venue that fits the corporate event’s purpose
Finding the perfect venue for a corporate event can seem like a daunting task. There are so many potential venues to choose from and it can be difficult deciphering which one is most suitable for your needs. When selecting a venue, always consider what purpose the event is for, how many people will be attending, and any necessary amenities or special requests that need to be accommodated. Taking all of these factors into account will ensure that you find the right venue that fits your organization’s event and make it truly memorable.
Choose fun and interactive activities for guests at your corporate event
To make sure your corporate event is a success, you need to find innovative and interactive activities that your guests will enjoy. Consider creating an outdoor game area where they can participate in team-building exercises or host a “Dress as a Character” photo booth with props and funny costumes – everyone loves to take selfies! For intellectual stimulation, host game shows with trivia questions or rent motion-sensing gaming systems like Xbox Kinect. There are many creative ways to engage your guests and keep them entertained throughout the event.
Your corporate event is going to be out of this world when you add in a drone light show! These stunning illuminated displays provide a breathtaking sight that will mesmerize your guests and make your celebration unforgettable. Our programmed flight sequences and illuminations create unique video-like imagery from the LEDs, as our drones perform intricate formations and patterns across the sky. Let us bring your ideas to life with our one-of-a-kind light show that will completely transform your gathering and take it to new heights!

Plan for food and drinks that everyone will enjoy
Planning menus for gatherings can be daunting, especially when you are planning for a crowd. The key to keeping everyone happy is to make sure there is something for everyone, while still staying true to the intended theme of the gathering. It’s important to think through any food allergies or dietary restrictions and provide options that accommodate those needs. When planning drinks, try to provide plenty of options. For alcoholic beverages, include a signature cocktail as well as wine, beer and other spirits for people to enjoy. For non-alcoholic drinks, have a mix of regular and diet soda, plus iced tea, lemonade, juice and water on hand. This way the event will be one that allows everyone to enjoy the moment.
Have a professional photographer or videographer capture the corporate event
Hosting a corporate event is an excellent opportunity to reinforce your brand and show appreciation to important company members. Why not capture the occasion with professional-grade photography or video? Not only will it provide a lasting memory, but it also allows you to use the material in your marketing campaigns. Professional photography and video content can be used across social media platforms, websites, promotional videos or even internal newsletters to share the event’s highlights. Engaging visuals from corporate events can yield high ROIs that invest back into the business. So why not enhance your event through professional photography or videography? It’s sure to pay dividends for years to come.
Send out thank you cards or emails to guests after the event
After an event has come to a close, it’s always a great idea to show appreciation to the guests who attended. A simple way to do this is by sending out thank you cards or emails. While both of these options are great, nothing beats the personal touch of receiving a handwritten thank you card in the mail. A thank you card is also the perfect platform for expressing more detailed gratitude, as it allows room for elaboration. Additionally, the gesture can leave lasting impressions and foster relationships with guests – an essential factor when planning events of any kind.

Frequently Asked Questions
Show logistics
How much space do I need to do a drone show?
The drones need to be at least five feet apart before takeoff. So, for 100 drones, you would need at least 2500 square feet.
We also need to have ample space between the drones and the audience. Drones are not allowed to fly over people, so we recommend one foot of horizontal separation for every foot of altitude. So, if the drones fly to 400 feet, then the audience needs to be a minimum of 400 feet away from the takeoff space.
How many drones do I need per show?
Even though an impressive drone light show can be done with a mere 20 drones, we recommend at least 100 drones to make a truly memorable experience. Some designs and ideas will take hundreds of drones, while others may only take several dozen. We can work directly with you to determine what you need for your show.
