Finding the Perfect Venue for your Corporate Party in Atlanta
When planning a corporate event, one of the first things to consider is the venue. Will it be spacious enough for everyone to be comfortable? Is the space conveniently located? Is the interior space configured so that guests are encouraged to mingle? Clearly, the needs and requirements for a perfect venue differ from one company to another. Before making a decision, it is a good idea to start with the considerations mentioned.

Planning a Summer Event for Your Business
Summer corporate events can be fun and casual, like a day at the beach building elaborate sandcastles in teams, golf outing, baseball game or trip to the zoo. They can also be formal and elegant, with a rooftop reception, dining by candlelight under the stars or an elegant party at a nearby garden location. While summertime events have a wide range of activity options, they also pose some challenges. Let’s take a look at things to consider when planning a summer event for your company:
Keys to a Successful Summer Event
Select the venue as far in advance as possible. Since summer can be a busy time, particularly for locations that are popular wedding venues and sites for pre-wedding festivities, it is essential to book your site early. The same is true for any entertainment or speakers you hire for the event.
