In this quick guide, we’ll walk you through the process of pinpointing and booking the best corporate event spaces in London, ensuring an unforgettable event for your guests. Here’s where to start:
Step one in planning any corporate event is to clearly outline your requirements and the goals of the event. Consider the purpose — Do you need it for a business conference, corporate drinks reception, networking events, or Christmas parties? Once you know the size of your event, get a decent idea of the number of attendees, preferred date and time, and any specific amenities or features you need, like equipment or catering services. When you book through Woolly Mammoth, we can put you in contact with our network of incredible caterers.
Once you’ve got a good idea of your requirements, it’s time to research suitable corporate venues in London. Start by looking into online platforms and venue directories like Woolly Mammoth, and keep in mind the ambience you want to create. We have properties all across Central London where your guests can feel right at home.
In a world in which sustainability is becoming an increasing concern in business, it’s also a good idea to look into eco-friendly properties and events. This means going for venues with green credentials or choosing private homes which use less energy and often have higher efficiency ratings.
When looking into corporate events London poses a few unique challenges. Consider logistics like accessibility, parking, and transport options. Pick a venue that’s going to be easily accessible for your guests and offers ample parking or nearby public transport links. Consider how close they are to hotels and accommodation options, especially if you have out-of-town guests attending your event.
Before making your decision, get a good idea of the pricing and fees associated with corporate venues. Consider your budget and make sure you ask about any additional costs or fees, such as catering, AV equipment, or staffing. Luckily, at Woolly Mammoth, we’re here to guide you through the whole process and provide you with private homes that are within budget but exceed expectations.
Once you’ve narrowed down your options, make sure you confirm the availability of your ideal venue for the dates and times you’re looking at hosting the event. Review the booking terms and conditions, including any deposit requirements and cancellation policies. At Woolly Mammoth, we’ll contact the property owner and support you through all of this.
Once you’ve bagged your dream venue for a London event, it’s time to start customising the experience to meet your specific requirements. Work closely with the hire company event to plan the layout, décor, and setup of the event space. If you’re booking with Woolly Mammoth, we can support you with all of this. Want to wow your visitors with a seamless, luxurious atmosphere? We’ve got you. Want to clear some space for a streamlined networking event? We can help with that, too.
As the big day approaches, finalise all logistical details to ensure everything runs smoothly. It’s a good idea to create an event timeline and delegate some of the responsibilities to your team or colleagues. When you book with Woolly Mammoth, you can also have a look around the property the day before your corporate event to make sure everything is in order.
Gametime. Arrive early to oversee any setup and greet your guests as they arrive. Make sure everything’s in place and running smoothly, and be prepared to address any last-minute hiccups. Throughout the day, engage with guests and make sure they’re having a good time. After the event, take some time to evaluate the success and gather some feedback. Think about what went well and any areas for improvement, and use this insight to shape your next event!
