Though most attendees simply see the food, music, and fun at a corporate event, a successful event requires lots of planning and hard work.

1.	Sound plan.
A great corporate event starts on paper.  If you’re planning a corporate event for over 50 people, it’s best to enlist some help. A team of planners can ensure that the project stays on track to its completion. 

2.	Good location.
The location should be central to employees but in an area with good parking. If the event will take place after dark, make sure the area has good lighting and security.

3.	Delicious food.
Choose a menu that is versatile and will appeal to a wide range of partygoers. Chicken is a favorite at corporate events, but seafood is also popular.

4.	Fun entertainment and music.
You might be able to hire a local band to play live music during the event. Decide on the style of music, whether country, rock, soul, etc., then search for local talent online.

5.	The budget.
Pay close attention to your budget. Sometimes the company will allow overages for certain expenses but often the budget for corporate events is set in stone and non-negotiable. 

When hiring a professional event planner, search for an organization that has a proven track record. Most corporate event planners offer various packages that include everything from start to finish as well as streamlined services for those on a budget. 

Pros: 
•	Removes all the work and worry from company employees.
•	Better overall results.

Cons: 
•	Expensive. 
•	No room for changing the theme or other details without incurring additional expenses.
