HOW TO PLAN A CORPORATE BBQ

/in /by

Have you been tasked with the responsibility of planning a corporate BBQ? Don’t worry because we have an easy five-step process that will show you how to plan a corporate BBQ! From the venue to catering, we have tips to help you create a stress-free and memorable event that your colleagues will love. Here are our 5 tips on how to plan a corporate BBQ:

 

Determine The Number of Guests

Before you do any planning, it’s important that you know how many guests will be attending your corporate BBQ. This can drastically change things like location and catering costs, so it’s best to gather this information right away!

 

Pick A Date

The next step is to select a date for your corporate BBQ. In many cases this may be given to you, but if its’ not then you need to open up your company calendar and pick an appropriate date. If this is an employees-only event that it should be held on a workday, such as a Friday afternoon. If this is a family-friendly event where employees are bringing their spouses and children then an evening or weekend is best.

 

Select A Venue

Depending on the size of your event, you may need to hold your corporate venue at an offsite location. Research online to find a location that best suits your group size. We recommend selecting a location that isn’t too far from work so that you aren’t inconveniencing the attendees.

 

Hire A Caterer

Ask any of your attendees and they’ll all agree, food is the most important part of a corporate BBQ! At GTA Caterer, we have handled many corporate BBQs so we understand exactly what kind of menu items are most popular and practical for this type of event. Contact us today to discuss menu options!

 

Decide On Entertainment

From live music to interactive games, your corporate BBQ needs some sort of entertainment! Choose your activities based on the age of the attendees. If it’s a family-friendly BBQ, then be sure to have enough activities to keep kids busy. If it’s adults-only (and employees only) then team building activities can be a great addition to your BBQ.
