Putting together a successful press event boils down to managing several moving parts all at the same time.\u00a0 At Regan Communications Group, we\u2019ve facilitated a variety of events for all types of clients, but they all share a similar objective: \u00a0to \u201cwow\u201d attendees within budget.<\/p>\n

Speaking of budget, it\u2019s not the sexiest part of the process but yet it is the most crucial and should be the first thing you determine when planning your event.\u00a0 It\u2019s imperative to set this guideline early on so you can manage every aspect of your event back to that budget.\u00a0 Some of the major considerations that influence the budget include the following: cost to rent space, number of attendees (which will dictate catering needs and price per person), gift bags, invitations, press kits, and special guest fees (if applicable) to name a few.<\/p>\n

Next, finalize the guest list. The number of people you plan on hosting, plus their personalities, will influence where<\/i> your event will take place, which again, may impact your budget.<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve determined your budget and guest list, it\u2019s time to find a venue that meets the needs of the event you\u2019re hosting- and its spirit, too! For example, if you\u2019re hosting a chic fashion show you won\u2019t want to host the event at an Irish\u00a0pub! Instead, you might opt for a chic club that delivers the ambiance you are looking for. \u00a0Earlier this year,\u00a0 RCG hosted an event for Turk: The Movie at The W Boston Hotel. We chose this venue because it offered ample space for all the guests that attended, is conveniently located in the heart of Boston making it easy for most guests to get to, and with Hollywood celebrities on the guest list, the W\u2019s chic d\u00e9cor and architecture fit the atmosphere of a traditional star-studded party.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s surprising how fast an event you\u2019re planning for will creep up on you. Planning ahead and being organized will ensure your event meets its objectives and leaves you smiling.<\/p>\n
