AS YOU START PLANNING YOUR SPECIAL EVENT, BE THINKING ABOUT…
1. What is the purpose of the event? You don’t need a reason, per se, but it’s fun to have a theme.
2. When will it occur? Do you want a morning brunch, an afternoon party or evening affair?
3. How many guests will there be?
4. Is this going to be a gathering of your closets friends or a much larger affair?
5. Who are your guests? Creating a guest list is critical; you want to carefully select guests for an intriguing
combination of those that are outgoing and reserved, those that are in business and those that aren’t, those
that love music and those that always have their nose in a book.
6. What is your budget? You don’t need to spend a fortune to make your guests feel like a million dollars.
Decide what you can spend and what is important to you, and make alternate plans for things that aren’t
at the top of your list. One of our event managers will be delighted to help you answer all of these
questions and plan your party. Ko’olau Ballrooms event specialists are highly trained in all aspects of event
