Event organisation

1- Define your objectives together

Before choosing the venue and services, you need to define your objectives: why do you want to organise your company party? For what purpose: to motivate your employees, to thank your customers or to develop their loyalty, to invite prospective customers? Once these objectives have been defined, we can adapt your communication to this target, find out what interests them and define a theme for your evening.

2- Choose the human and logistical resources

Depending on your objectives, we will be able to define together the human and logistical means to be used to prepare your event. To do this, SOP Events has project managers, assistants, webmasters and designerswho will accompany you in the preparation of your event. On the logistical side, it is a question of defining the tools to be put in place for the preparation, communication andsending of invitations. Several options are possible depending on your target, from the creation of a cardboard or electronic invitation to the creation of a website dedicated to the event.

3- Choose the location

The first impression is often decisive, so the location is one of the most important criteria. When your guests arrive, they should immediately be seduced by the location. The choice of venue can be a castle, a public or private estate, a farmhouse, a manor house, a barge, a yacht or a mountain inn... Many places in towns, villages and natural areas are perfectly suited to the organisation of events in the southwest. The venue should be chosen according to the theme of your event and the target group of your guests. Access, parking and travel time for your guests to get to the venue should also be taken into consideration.

4 - Focus on a quick and friendly welcome

The welcome is very important, it reinforces the good image that the guests had when they discovered the place and represents the starting point of your evening. It must be quick, professional and friendly. For this, SOP Events can provide hostesses and digital tablets to quickly register your guests and issue badges if necessary. Our hostesses are all used to managing large numbers of guests (reception and cloakroom). We also choose the dress code to match the theme of the evening.

5- Do not neglect furniture, sound, light and decoration

Choosing a beautiful reception venue is essential, but don't neglect the furniture or the decoration. Depending on the theme of your event, we will suggest the appropriate furniture. The decoration will complete your reception room. Finally, our management team will be able to enhance the whole event with lighting effects and background music.

6- The caterer

A beautiful reception venue, a perfect welcome, decoration and furniture in keeping with the theme, all you need to do is seduce your guests with the catering. To do this, SOP Events will choose a caterer in keeping with the chosen theme. The waiters are managed by the caterer.

7- Choosing providers

Hostesses, sound and light managers, entertainers... all the service providers present during your evening will be supervised by one or more coordinators from our agency who will ensure that your event runs smoothly.
