These days, many businesses are trying to find ways to cut costs and
improve efficiencies, while promoting a healthy work-life balance within their
workforce. As such, many companies are giving their staff the opportunity to
work flexibly and remotely - with many setting their own hours and working from
their home office. In extreme cases, some firms have even decided to close a
central office space in favour of an entirely home-based operation. This is all very well and good, as it certainly reduces overheads quite
considerably and appears to suit the majority of employees. However, it doesn't
suit every situation. What happens, for example, when you have a board or
client meeting? Or need to call the staff together for an important
communication? Conference calls and emails may not be appropriate. Fortunately, there is an easy solution - hire
serviced meeting rooms. London is the obvious choice, being the business centre of the country;
however, there are such offices located in most [read more..] |

Festive celebrations have always been a big part of any company's calender, a great way for the bosses to thank employees for all of their hard work over the course of the year as well as bringing people together in a relaxed social environment to bond over some food and drink outside of the workplace. They are typically inexpensive affairs, something which even stretched corporate budgets can accommodate without too much trouble. In recent years however, companies have started to realise the importance of summer events too, a way of taking people's love for good weather and al fresco partying and tying it into a mid-year bonding experience. Traditionally seen as something of a luxurious treat for large multinationals with room in their budgets for wining and dining workers in the summer months at lavish venues such as Ascot Racecourse, these events are now being offered by venues on the same [read more..] |

Your budget can be a big constraint while planning an event.
Different events have a fixed budget. There is a limit for your spending.
Careful considerations need to be given while planning an event based on the
available budget figures. There are certain points to be considered while
planning a low budget event. Budget can be flexible based on your affordability.
If you can fit in all your expenditures within the pre-planned budget, well and
good. Just follow it. But in case there is a possibility of extending your budget,
expand it. Final option is to cut down your expenses. Make sure that your
budget covers all the expected expenses such as venue, food and beverages,
party decorations, etc. Calculate an average expense per person. Make sure that you only have the invited guests,
also be sure of inviting the necessary people only – when you are throwing an
event at low cost. When you plan things accordingly, even if the overall cost

Event planning can be defined as the systematic management of events and
gatherings. It is one of the emerging sectors with a promising future. Event planning that we see in the current scenario has come
through various developmental stages during the last century. From small board
room meetings to large wedding parties and birthday blasts are being taken care
of by event planners. When we look in to the
history of event planning some 100 years ago, it was hardly considered as a
profession even. Now event planning is one of the most successful professions
in the service sector where individuals are responsible for planning the entire
requirements of a social event. Event planners take the responsibility of all
the aspects of a function. This can be from the setting up of time, date,
location to the arrangement of stage, flower decoration, catering services,
stationary supplies, budget creation, advertising, audio visual requirements
and any such needs of a function. This ‘’all in one [read more..] |

I must admit that I do not remember what I did before Google.com. My parents spent a lot of money on reference books that I used as a child for school reports or just general interest. But I can only imagine how prolific my work would have been, had I been able to "Google" whatever question or point of interest came to my adolescent mind....Sighhhh. LOL! Now that I have Google, which I use between 5 and 80 times a day, there are no limits to the information, people, resources I can get my eyes on. My clients compliment my ability to produce multiple options for some of their toughest challenges… Yes, Google and I make a beautiful pairing.

Flowers and décor can be the next highest ticket item for a wedding. Aside from floral centerpieces, if one wants to truly create a stunning wedding, there are selection such as lines, lighting, chairs, lounge furniture, bellowing fabrics, illumination box etc etc. If the budget allows you to “Pimp Up” your big day, the most common question is should I choose a Florist or an Event Designer?? FLORIST: These can be neighborhood shops that have been part of the community for years. They cater to “foot traffic” and create arrangements that cater more towards the personal flowers. Some florists have taken on the additional business of weddings. However, they can be limited in their resources and inventory. They may tend to be less “hands-on”. They will not be a one stop shop if you want to add linen, lighting, etc. to your event. You will work individually with different vendors and [read more..] |

anticipated event or occasion especially for large families where most of the

If there is one thing that frustrates event hosts and planners alike, it is the lack of credence given to the RSVP. Invitations are different from announcements in that they are a petition for your presence. Once you receive one, regardless of your availability, they create an action item for you. Are you in, or are you out? Either way, your host needs to know.
I remember in grammar school when kids brought their neat little bundles of birthday invitations to classrooms. It was there, right in front of everyone, that you either got one...or you didn't. If you did get one, you ran home with it to ask your mom if you could go to the party. "Please, because all my friends will be there" was your plea. My mom usually rolled her eyes, but always said, "Let me call her/his mother". It was in that statement that [read more..] |

Bohol-Cebu Convention and Tour Exposure December 1, 2010 I have not decided if I would go to Bohol or not….. A good friend Glenn suggested seeing his resort in Bohol – Bohol Coconut Palms Resort but unfortunately with a little time we have with my friend and colleague Gela, we went and explored Bohol for about four hours instead having to stay overnight. There were no available transportation in Bohol aside for a private van or car I just remembered Bali hehehe…. We couldn’t travel by taxi, we instead rented a van. Our first stop was in Loboc river had a sumptuous buffet lunch by the river with bands singing old “kundiman” songs – the songs just inspired me of going back to the 80’s. After that we went to the hanging bridge. I bought “pasalubong” at the end of the bridge. Manangs were selling pasalubong and the cute tarsiers.:) [read more..]

The big day is approaching and it's time to think about
planning for the wedding! It is natural for couples to be confused over where
to start. As you go deeper into your planning, you will experience more obstacles.
As a result, consideration of hiring a professional wedding planner might
arise. If this happens, here are some reasons why you should employ a
professional wedding planner. 1) Wedding Planner Protects You From Hiring the Wrong
Services Since they are familiar with the industry, they know the
best and reliable vendors, as some companies may not be as professional as they
claim. Some vendors might charge you higher rates for using their
services. Instead, utilizing a wedding planner may help you to get a
considerable reduction in rates since in most cases; vendors will offer
planner?s clients lower rates. 2) Wedding Planners Typically Offer Tiered Services Maybe you don’t need a wedding planner to plan your wedding.

By A. Michael's Photography So what is a true “wedding photojournalist?” He/she is a photographer
who is dedicated, from beginning to end, to photograph a wedding like
a Time Magazine photographer might photograph the "day in the life"
of President Obama. His/her desire is to capture the actual story of
the day with all the emotion, drama, and reality that develops without
any prompting whatsoever. A client who selects a wedding
photojournalist or a documentary wedding photographer should be doing
so because they are not interested in contrived, staged, posed or
set-up style photographs that their photographer creates for the sake
of making a “perfect” photo. This client has no interest in having
photographs made that are more like illusions or portrayals of truth,
controlled by the [read more..] |

of posed photographs? Did the subjects in the images appear like they
were having fun? A great image usually has 3 main components. 1) Great composition. Now you don't have to have a degree in
photography to understand basic composition, but the subjects are not
normally centered in the image (there are always exceptions). Here's a

You might think twice before spending all of your savings to
make that big day special. So how do you make it special without spending too
much? This is one of the most common questions asked. The solution is: have a
budget for the wedding. It is very important to know how much you are willing to
spend for the wedding. This requires you to prioritize the items you need to
buy and cut back on others. For example, prioritizing the wedding dress will
probably result in cutting back of the cake. Make sure to keep your budget up
to date and if it’s not included in the budget, forget about it! Remember to book your venue early as you might lose on the

One would notice that most great planners are women. Women are
usually called upon to uphold the task of making plans for events,
budgeting, even a simple family trip! In case you're wondering the
reasons underlying this scenario, there is evidence as to why women make
great planners. Just as there are major differences between the
personality and characteristics of both males and females, these
differences make women stand out as better planners compared to their
male counterparts. Researchers generally believe that the female
brain is organized to function more symmetrically. This allows
integration of both sides of the brain functions more readily compared
to the brain of a male. A recent research which included solving word
games found that men tended to use only the left side of the brain when
completing the task. On the other hand, women drew on both hemispheres.
Due to this anatomical and functional brain [read more..] |

Majority
of brides today prefer the do-it-yourself approach when it comes to choosing
and creating their wedding hairstyle and makeup. The idea of reflecting
yourself at its very best should prevail in your wedding day style decisions. Whether
you choose to get the assistance of a stylist or being your own style guru,
staying true to who you are will create a memorable statement that reflects
your real self. Many DIY brides get inspiration from
pictures, select the look they like, and then convey their idea to a
professional who will complete the rest. Several others may decide to manage
the look from the beginning till the end. To determine the best hairstyle and
makeup for your wedding, first take into account your wedding gown style. A
simple 1940s-style gown that is form fitting will inspire red lipstick with a
soft, curled down-do ala Veronica Lake. If your gown has a ball skirt, you
could go for an up-do inspired by Cinderella. [read more..] |

Submitted by Adel Domingo, Event Architect with Oliveaire Artisan Events and Meetings I’ve never attended a wedding ceremony without music, except for mine, because my husband and I got married in a civil ceremony in a typical judge’s bureaucratic office. Not cool, or should I say, there was no warmth or romance at all. It wasn’t us. We love music. We did get married in a church a year later and we were surrounded by our loved ones and, of course, music. My brother’s band played at our reception. No matter what kind of ceremony you’re having, you need a song for the intro, possibly a reflection or dedication song somewhere in the middle, and a recessional song.

When planning a meeting or event,
many things can go wrong and sometimes, you may not even be able to anticipate
them. Your job as an event planner is to be able to come up with backup plan in
these situations and execute them as smoothly as possible. Although event
planners are hired for their expertise, their clients have the last say in
everything; sometimes, clients are so focused on what they want that they
forget that the event planner is there to help them run things and make them
look good. In this case, miscommunication can be disastrous and is every event
planner’s worst nightmare because clients ultimately end up blaming the event
planner. The cleaning up is also one of the downside of event planning, because
those elaborate decorations and catered food has to be properly disposed of
after the event. It is never easy to clean up a whole garden strewn with
rubbish and [read more..] |

Indonesia is referred as the largest archipelago which has 17,508 islands. I enjoyed the tour in Indonesia. Jakarta is the first destination. It is the capital and the largest city of Indonesia. It is located in the Northwest of Java. I have felt the warmth of the people in Jakarta especially upon welcoming of the Hotel employees of Aston Cengkareng Hotel and Conference Center The hotel is newly established in 2010. It is a three star hotel yet what made it special would be how the employees treatment for their guests. I was so amazed by the bellman, I gave him a tip but he refused to get it.

For artists & musicians alike, choosing the right event venue is vital in getting themselves heard or noticed. During such events such as gigs and art exhibitions are times when such opportunities to demonstrate or the display of talents and potentials exists. However, there are a few factors that must be thought of when choosing the right event venue either for a gig or even an art exhibition. The rate and pricing of the entrance fee or the ticket to the event ought to be taken into account. Gigs are commonly held in small (and at times uptight) pubs, bars and clubs. It is not impossible to find out that some gigs held locally, with performances by local artists, charge even higher rates than well-known international artists coming to the country to perform a concert which is at a larger scale! Getting an event planner is one solution to organize and [read more..] |
