Tips for Planning Any Event with Confidence
From budgeting to booking, here’s what to keep in mind when organising your next event.
Start early where you can: Ideally, start planning your event 6 to 12 months in advance, especially for larger gatherings or popular dates. This gives you time to secure your ideal event venues, coordinate suppliers, and fine-tune the details. For smaller events, a 3 to 6-month timeline may be enough, but starting early always gives you more flexibility.
Budget 20–30% for the venue: A good rule of thumb is to allocate 20 to 30% of your total event budget for the venue. This leaves room for other essentials like catering, décor, and entertainment. Make sure to factor in extras like staffing or cleaning fees when comparing event hire options in Auckland.
Look for the right features: Great event venues are accessible, flexible, and equipped with everything you need to run a smooth event. Look for strong reviews, a professional team, and features like AV, catering, or on-site coordination. Most importantly, it should suit the type of event you're planning and feel right for your guests.
Check supplier flexibility: Some event venues allow external suppliers, while others have preferred vendors you’ll need to work with. It’s best to ask upfront so you know what’s possible. If flexibility is important to you, focus on venues that are open to custom setups.
Expect to pay a deposit: Most venues will ask for a deposit to secure your booking, typically around 20–50% of the total cost. This ensures your date is locked in and helps the venue begin planning. Be sure to check the cancellation policy and payment schedule before confirming.
