Do you know someone who has that set of skills which provides a near perfect party or event every time? Maybe it is you. There are significant differences between a home birthday party for 50 people and a corporate event for 1500. The latter cannot fail without consequences.
At home, if the food is not on time, we wait a little longer. At a mining event, delayed service could result in a riot, well, almost. When the weather turns sideways, we can duck inside our homes to continue the party. An outside formal wedding reception will need some marquee, even in the best months of September and November, because you do not want to tempt Mother Nature.
Who has a canopy lying around for more than ten people, let alone 1000 guests at the Mounts Bay Sailing Club’s Riverside Lawn? You are going to need the professionals for marquee function hire Perth has some other beautiful venues, such as Perth City Farm and the Old Courthouse, which offer different venue styles to fit your event design, but you will still need covered space.
Maybe some of your guests are not very fickle and could handle a few drops of rain without melting, but the DJ or live entertainment will need dry space. All of that lighting, speakers, instruments and party kit need to be protected or things get expensive quickly. Booking quality entertainment is vital and not the easiest task on the list. It’s best to keep them dry and cool.
On a hot day, your guests will need cooling as well. Ventilation fans or, in cooler, off-peak months, heaters will keep the space under the “big-top” comfortable. Rolling up the side panels is always a possibility. With the climate addressed, where is everyone going to sit?
I doubt you have hairs, tables and cloths, crockery, cutlery, and glassware for 1000 guests in your storage closet. Same as the marquee, entertainment, and climate control equipment, all of your tableside needs can be hired from a professional vendor.
What magical menu will be dined upon? Your chef team will need space, hopefully not under the canopy, for a BBQ, cooking, cleaning, and sanitization to keep everyone fed and happy. Your beautiful wedding cake needs a place of honor as well.
I forgot a key piece of any event operation, the bar. Whether a sober event or weekend music festival, beverages will need to be served in quantity, kept cold, and served sanitarily. For this many people, I should think you will need more than one bar, staffed with quality attendants, or tempers will heat up for lack of cooling down.
All of our plans can be torn to pieces if we fail to align with temporary structure guidelines from our government. Will they come and hassle you for occupancy or fire hazard and capacity issues? Do you have proper permitting for the land you are on or near? Are you offering enough loo space for the headcount? Do not give them a reason to earn fine money from you or your event on your big day.
