Christmas is also ‘carnage’ if you believe Ferdinand the duck from the movie Babe. A prime target for Christmas fare, being a duck and all, he was probably within his rights to yell that from the barn roof. But that aside we need to talk about Christmas 2015 and how Chairman of the Breadboard can help you avoid any carnage at all during the silly season.
Yes, I know it’s only the October and you’re probably thinking ‘Isn’t that a little early?’ Not when you consider most department stores are putting up their Christmas decorations in late September and certainly not if you’ve been vested with the responsibility of organising your office or family Christmas function this year.
If you haven’t started to think about Christmas yet, here’s some advice that might get you started:
- If you planning to book a venue of some kind to accommodate a number of people – do it now. Trust me by mid-October, all the good ones will be gone.
- If the whole idea of trying to find a venue (and the associated costs of hiring) leaves you cold, why not consider an event at home or in a park or picnic area outdoors? While numbers will be a factor here, you’d be amazed what can be done with a marquis and party equipment hire these days.
- At the festive time of year traditional venues like restaurants or function rooms are so busy that they can’t afford the flexibility you might be looking for in terms of the food on offer and how it’s served. If you really don’t know where to start, speak to a caterer first because they might have some suggestions that will help you decide what to do and how best to do it.
I’d love to help you put the ‘cheer’ back into Christmas – particularly if you’re the function organiser. Call or drop me an email and we can talk it over.
Yours in good food and great events,
