1. Planning and Coordination
When handling large events with big crowds, it's crucial to have a well-defined plan. Meet with city officials, police, fire departments, and the venue to develop a comprehensive strategy. Engage fans to generate excitement and buzz around the event. Always be mindful of media attention and public perception, acting and reacting appropriately.
2. Guest Experience
Ensure guest arrival and departure are quick, simple, and well-planned. This is a guest's first and last impression of your event. Provide parking instructions with a map in advance. If using valet, have ample attendants, and for self-parking, provide directional staff.

3. Venue Selection and Preparation
When scouting a location, check for faulty wiring and ensure sufficient power sources. Make sure there are plenty of restrooms and that they are kept clean. This is often overlooked, but insufficient or unclean restrooms can negatively impact the event.
4. Vendor Management
Get competitive vendor bids and mix up your vendors. While loyalty is valuable, rotating vendors prevents events from becoming stagnant and similar.
5. Communication
Communication is key. The caterer needs to know the room design just as much as the lighting designer so that every party element is cohesive.
6. Service and Design Balance
Ensure enough service points and balance in designs. A good rule of thumb is one bartender and buffet for every 100 guests. Spread bars, buffets, furniture, and activities in a balanced pattern to help with guest flow and traffic.
7. Entertainment
Find the right DJ, live band, or music to maintain energy and engagement. Discuss a playlist in advance and educate the entertainment about the guest demographic.

8. Team Empowerment
Empower and support your team. Let them "own" their role in the event development and on-site execution. When staff feels integral to the event's success, it boosts morale and eagerness for future jobs.
9. Trend Awareness
Research what other planners are doing to stay current and ahead of trends.
