What to think about when planning a private dining event
Planning a private dining event is always exciting. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, hosting a business meeting or having a family get together, it’s a great way to enjoy food and wine with the people who matter to you.
But even if it’s an informal occasion, there are a few things you need to think about when planning any type of private dining event. Here are just some of them:
Give yourself plenty of time – If you want to secure your preferred restaurant or venue, then it’s always best to book as far in advance as possible. It can be frustrating if your first choice is already booked up, so give yourself plenty of time to secure the right place for your party.
Visit the venue – Before you make any final decisions about your venue, it’s always best to visit in person so that you can check out the facilities and have a look around. The food and drink are obviously important but make sure the venue is able to cater for all your guests too. That includes having enough room for everyone, as well as providing access for people with mobility problems.
Pick an option that can cater for all your guests – When planning any private dining event, you need to make sure the menu will work for everyone attending. Make sure you know any dietary requirements beforehand and always double-check the options you need will be available.
