Dubai is a bustling city with a huge amount to see and do, and attracting people to your party, event or corporate function is a skill unto itself. In this article, we’ll explain why you’ll want an event planner in Dubai to really make your party work. We’ll explain do’s and don’ts, the importance of a stunning venue, and all the tricks to really stand out from the crowd.

How do I choose an event planner?

You’ll want a company like Banquets Dubai; a company with:

  • Access to different high-end venues that serve various functions.
  • Reputational excellence and a commitment to speedy turnaround times.
  • Intimate knowledge of the city – and a knowledge of what makes people tick.
  • Access to a large social media network (for instance, at Banquets, our brands have over 100,000 combined Instagram followers).

It’s often a good idea to consult Google Reviews (if any) and to investigate whether the company owns or works with specific venues. Venue-hire can be one of the most arduous parts of the event planning journey, so cutting out this headache will be a major plus in your favor.

H2: Why choose an event planner? 

An event planner will help you:

  • Pin down the type of event you’re looking to run.
  • Source the perfect venue for the occasion.
  • Take care of logistics: from handling bookings to dealing with the Dubai events space.
  • Promote the event on social media, thereby drumming up interest.
  • Take care of ad hoc requests, like a special DJ booking. 
  • Run the event on the day.

H2: How do you organize events in Dubai

Events need to be carefully organized as they can present logistical challenges otherwise. First, pin down the type of event you’re looking to run. Is it a party, a business conference, a networking event? The answer to this question will determine the type of venue you want and it’ll also influence the way the event is marketed.

A good marketing strategy will:

  • Leverage social media (including paid social).
  • Leverage Google (including paid ads).
  • Create viral word-of-mouth.
  • Incentivise people to not only attend, but also promote their experience.

A bad marketing strategy will:

  • Be planned at the last minute, leaving you little time to get the word out.
  • Rely solely on a social media platform like Facebook, neglecting Instagram and TikTok in the process.
  • Suffer from last minute changes: like a last minute change to the venue; changes in ticket price; changes in DJ and so on.
  • Be unclear about what the event is, or where it’s at.

When organizing an event, it pays to be quick on your feet, as the unexpected often happens at the drop of a hat. That’s why an event planner is such a useful commodity: they’ll be on site on the big day to handle everything, leaving you free to enjoy the occasion. 

H2: Corporate events venue

As an event planner in Dubai, we have countless clients looking to organize corporate events. For these occasions, we typically make use of our chic art-deco restaurant FRNDS. That’s because the venue is: 

  • In Downtown, and easily accessible. 
  • Beautifully furnished.
  • Capable of serving cuisine day and night.
  • Able to accommodate hundreds of guests.
