As wedding season approaches and the catering companies are filled to the gills with weddings, it's common place for event planners to find difficulty in searching for a catering company available to work events such as award ceremonies, benefits and more. Weekday meetings are easy, most caterers will retain weekday availability during wedding season, but weekends are generally booked for most of us. Consider in stead, a week day event when the purpose is business or community oriented.
Is it plausible to schedule your benefit event or awards ceremony on a weekday, rather than on the weekend? We would like to think so and it just may offer you some benefits you may not realize till now. Most facilities which are rent-able, generally are less expensive to rent during the weekdays and on Sundays. We are all on a budget here especially considering the weakened economy, so this is one strong beneficial case in point.
Secondly, most catering companies will offer better pricing during the week. This is a simple case of supply and demand. We still have basic price points to keep us financially afloat, but rest assured you will find your total bill to be less than that of a weekend event. Once again, a credit to the budget for you event planners.
Last but not least, if you are planning an event in which the budgets success is dependent upon the number of guests and based on ticket sales, we believe that it's target attendees may have a better availability potential during the week, rather than on the weekends where the general public look to find family gatherings, weekend excursions, shopping adventures or simple in house rest after a long week.
In general, it's going to be much easier to find a caterer, or any vendor for that matter, who is available for your event during the week. Couple that with lower associated costs and you can't loose. We have a few solutions up our sleeve that may be of interest to you event planners and are more than happy to talk about it any any time.
