The main questions concern the objective of the event

  • Why is this event taking place?
  • What’s its goal?
  • What’s return of investment for this event?

When you have answered those it’s easier to break down the event according to the following questions:

Setting the date

  • When should this event take place?
  • What day of the week?
  • What time of day?
  • Are there any other events taking place that day that may collide with the event?
  • Are there any holidays colliding with the event?

Note: Remember to make time for planning the event, this often talks a lot longer than you expect.

Guests

  • Who is your guest?
  • How many guests do you want to come to the event?
  • Who will decide the guest list?
  • Do you have contact information to the guests?

Note: Quite often guests do not show up at the actual event. Depending on what type of event is you can sometime experience a no show percentage of between 10-20 per cent of the guests.

Theme

  • Do you have a theme for the event?
  • What season is your event taking place?
  • Is it a casual or a formal event?
  • What’s the dress code?

Location

  • What type of location are you looking for?
  • Does the event location have to be close to other venues taking place?
  • Is the event in or outdoor( or maybe both)?

Note: Setting a theme often helps in choosing the rigth location if you have several options.  If you don’t have a theme it’s always nice to theme the event according to season. An event taking place in spring could have a discrete spring theme.
