Corporate events planning can often get overwhelming. You don't want to overwhelm your attendees at your event, so choose a celebration that is fun and easy to run.
While planning an event can be quite complex at times, with proper systems or consultation from an event management company, you can definitely achieve memorable corporate events!
The initial phase of corporate event planning is where all the key decisions start to come together, and a clear event plan becomes visible to the organizer.
The first phase of corporate event planning involves gathering creative resources, including those required to deal with unforeseen event situations on the day of the event (especially for outdoor events where weather is the main factor).
During this stage of event planning, you will be able to finalize menus, event schedules, venue maps, event management contracts, and overall event budgets for your events.
Work Out Your Budget For The Event
Do you want to create a unique event experience for your guests? Wish to make events more memorable and exciting?
First, work out a comfortable event budget, let say you have found a great event to hold and it is happening in the next month, but how much is it going to cost for hosting the event? Event budgeting can be tricky especially with so many numbers floating around these days.
Corporate Events / Company Events ranges from big scale to small scale event. Each event is unique by itself and that would extends to the event budget.
There are different factors into the budget for the event that you gonna hold. Some of the factors includes the size of company, how many people will be attending the event, the objective of holding the event, your preferred locations and the scope of event management. Example, do you want a live band music performances, stage entertainments etc.
The important thing is that you do not begin planning your event without a budget in mind for organising the event. The amount that the company is willing to spend does affect the event location, event space capacity and size, event scope and other event related requirements. It boils down to working the event budget backwards to determine the must-have and the nice-to-have items for your corporate events.

As you can see from the chart below, the main bulk of the expense goes to the food and beverage and the rest of the items like event entertainment, audio visual, staff travel / transportation covers not more than 10%. This shows, it is not as costly as you may seem to engage an event company to manage the event for you.

The planning phase of a corporate event is the foundation upon which a successful event is built. It is the time when the goals and objectives of the event are identified, the budget is established, and the initial planning steps are taken.
This phase is critical to the overall success of the event as it sets the stage for everything that follows.
Here are some essential steps to consider during the planning phase of a corporate event:
Define the Objectives and Goals of the Event
Before any planning can begin, it's essential to define the objectives and goals of the event. This could include promoting a new product or service, building brand awareness, or networking with clients and industry peers.
Once the objectives are clear, the event's theme and tone can be established, and a strategy can be developed to meet those goals.
Establish the Budget
A budget should be established early in the planning phase, as it will guide all decisions moving forward. Considerations for the budget should include venue rental, equipment rental, catering, decorations, marketing, and staffing costs.
A well-planned budget will help ensure that the event is profitable and that all expenses are accounted for.
Select the Venue
Selecting the right venue is crucial for the success of the event. Consider the location, accessibility, parking, and capacity of the venue. Also, consider the amenities offered, such as catering, audiovisual equipment, and Wi-Fi.
Negotiating the rental contract for the venue and any additional services should be done in the planning phase.
Plan the Program
Developing the program for the event is crucial to its success. Determine the agenda, speakers, entertainment, and other activities that will occur during the event.
Ensure that the program aligns with the event's objectives and that it is engaging for the attendees.
Create a Marketing Plan
Marketing and promotion are essential to ensure that the event is successful. Develop a marketing plan that includes social media, email marketing, and traditional marketing methods. Develop marketing materials such as flyers, brochures, and posters.
Ensure that the marketing messages align with the event's objectives and target audience.
Determine Staffing Needs
Having the right staff in place is essential to the success of the event.
