Planning a function? Need help?

Do you need some help planning a function?

There are just so many things to think of before the day of an event, so where do you start?

Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary, reunion, engagement, conference or a wedding, here is a basic checklist from the Taylors Lakes Hotel to help novice event managers ensure their functions are successful:

• Select the preferred time and date, and have a back-up just in case.

• What type of function is it? About how many people are attending?

• Catering requirements: a sit-down menu, buffet or cocktail style?

• Band or DJ? Is there a stage or a dance floor for the groovers?

• Multimedia for presentations, whiteboards and stationery.

• Check availability of accommodation for country or interstate guests.

• Trust the experience, knowledge and suggestions of your functions team.

The local Taylors Lakes Hotel has three versatile function rooms that can cater for 80 to 300 people. It also has a delightful outside courtyard area, ideal for weddings or pre-function cocktails.

“The award-winning Taylors Lakes Hotel is well known for its delicious food in the JBJ’s restaurant, huge TV screens in the sports bar/TAB and our drive-through bottle shop. But some people are unaware of our many function rooms and choice quality accommodation,” marketing manager Terry Gunn said.

“This year, our prime objective is to ensure that every local in the Brimbank area knows about our functions and accommodation facilities so that we are considered for at least a ‘walk-through’ and a quote on their next function.

“I think the customers will be impressed by our proposition,” Terry said.
