Plan Early

No matter what city you are in, planning an event a few weeks in advance at least is necessary. For an event that will be taking place in another country, planning an event several months in advance is an appropriate amount of time.

Planning at least three to four months in advance will allow you to take care of all of the arrangements, while being outside of the country. Everyone will be able to purchase ticketsand make travel arrangements to attend the out of country event as well.

Vendors will include the catering company that you use, flower and decoration shops, as well as those who will serve and set up the venue.

Connect with the vendors as soon as you can to insure that you can get a good firm. Go with highly rated vendors during your first international event in London to get a successful first run.

Plan a Preliminary Trip to London

Before your event, you will need to make a trip to London, to plan out all of the details for the trip. This will be the time that you should stop at each shop to ensure that everything is coming together for the planned event.

During your first trip, you want to check out the venues that you have looked at in order to book one palace for sure. Never just depend on photographs for a venue, be sure to look at the space yourself to tell if it is appropriate for the type of event that you are planning.

Make Spreadsheets to Keep Track

It is easy to lose track of event progress from afar. To eliminate the chance of not keeping up with the planning of your event, create a calendar and spreadsheet. Keep track of all of the numbers of the vendors on the spreadsheets as well as pricing.

The calendar should have the dates of completion of different parts of the events. Set up your calendar to update you each time a milestone in planning should be reached. This should help you to keep up with the event without becoming overwhelmed.

Get to London a Few Days Ahead

Before the event is scheduled to happen, you should plant your bearings in London. London is a large and busy city, and you don’t want to find yourself running around the large town on the last day before the event.

Arriving four to seven days before the event will help stop you from becoming overwhelmed. Spend one day working on each of the different parts of the event. The day before the event, make sure that the venue is properly set and the catering, awards, and other necessities, are no track.

If everything is taken care of several days prior to the event, you will be able to spend the day of the event getting ready and enjoying the occasion as you should.
