Top 10 Tips To Organising an Event 

1. Plan, Plan and Plan – You cannot be organised enough, something with always go wrong, which will mean you will need to have a plan B, which sometimes, turn out to be better than your original plan.
2. Begin Early – Make sure you don’t miss out on booking your favourite toilet trailer, florist or caterer, we take bookings three years in advance, and during the busy summer season, suppliers are booked up very quickly.
3. Remain Flexible – Things change, whether that is your guest list or location of event, make sure you remain flexible to meet the changing demands. If it is your first time organising an event, there will be many scenarios you may have not come up against before.
4. Assign Responsibilities – Don’t take all the burden onto your shoulders, assign responsibility to different individuals. They will enjoy the responsibility, feel involved in the event and will be much more clued with regards to the small detailed changes.
5. Be Creative – Use this event as a chance to get your creative juices flowing, make the event individual to you and your tastes, after all it is a reflection on you. – Have you see our themed toilet trailer range?
