outdoor eventThe weather can change in an

instant

Make it or Break it Situation

A friend hosted a birthday party for his wife a few weeks back. The food was great, the weather was perfect, and there was even a live band. When it started drizzling, the event organizers simply set up tents over our heads and the party went on. It turned out to be just a drizzle and nothing more, thankfully. In this situation, anticipating such circumstances could determine the success of the event.

How to prepare for suddenweather changesAlways have

some canopies and tents

A power generator can be handy in case of emergency

STAFF UNIFORMYou don’t want

your staff to feel cold or seating huddled in a corner just to stay warm during those months when the weather is quite chilly. 

Staff Uniform TipsVariety - Consider different fabrics

Keep it light - Choose lightweight uniforms for those warm days while maintaining a professional look at the same time

Layering - Can just add additional layers of comfortable clothing during cold weather

Staff Lounge - Set up a tent as a staff lounge to let the staff cool down especially during long events

TYPE OF FOODNot all food served indoors

translate well to being served outdoors

 Food storage should always be considered

You are making great memories with family and friends, and great food will always be part of it

Type of Food TipsOutdoor themes –

consider different like a picnic or a tea party

Avoid serving raw foods - but if it is part of the menu then ensure that the dishes you serve are not exposed to direct sunlight as this can help hasten spoilage
