Creativity Calls - MBD Answers!

4/26/2022

 
Picture
We love it when we get calls out of the blue from a company who needs help with creativity! It's what we do best! We met our new friends at DBC Irrigation in 2021 when everyone what facing similar pandemic problems with events. We created a HUGE backpack fundraiser for A Precious Child (501c3) that was an engaging team-building activity. And we helped to provide hundreds of students with backpacks for the 21-22 school year, while giving the DBC staff a unique team building activity!
DBC called again and asked us to create a unique Spring luncheon event that was FUN, CREATIVE, ENGAGING and would help they to raise money while employees have a great time.
We created a musically delightful and silly day at the Denver Museum of Art.
All smiles - all day --- and we were able to donate $20,000 to 3 local charities who are supporting the families affected by the Marshall Fire!
Colorado Pet Pantry + Sister Carmen Community Center + Future Arts Foundation of Colorado are the charities that received this incredible support!
Thank you to Dick Knapp Photography for capturing the fun, HOWE Eventful for the Music Trivia and the Denver Museum of Art for hosting us!

Why You Should Book Your 2021 Holiday Party NOW

7/14/2021

 
​Christmas in July? It may seem early, but now is the time to book your 2021 corporate or private holiday party with MBD Marketing & Events. As the world has opened up, demand for venues, hotel rooms, plane tickets, and event rentals have skyrocketed. We’re seeing venues booking events for 2022’s holiday season, so the time to reserve your ideal venue is NOW.
Picture
Really? Is the demand that great?

YES! We started having to get creative months ago when venues started booking up. We are already 50% booked for weddings in 2022! We have called on venues that aren't venues for events Summer, Fall and Winter, asking to create an event space for clients.
​
You can rely on us to MAKE IT HAPPEN.
Picture
Booking a venue is one of the first steps to planning any event, including holiday parties. Here is an example of a corporate holiday party planning timeline:
 
12 Weeks Out

  • Choose themes or colors
 
  • Choose a date and time – Research shows that lunch hour corporate holiday parties have the highest attendance. But evening parties are a great option, since they are longer and allow for more teambuilding and fun activities. Consider weekday evenings if cost is a concern; venues and entertainers often charge more for Friday and Saturday events.
 
  • Book venue and entertainment (DJs and bands book well in advance) – This is in a typical year. We recommend booking now for 2021.
 
  • Nail down a guest list
 
  • Book catering and bartending
 
  • Book photographer for a fun photo booth experience (optional)
 
8 Weeks Out

  • Send save-the-dates (optional) – Holidays are a time for travel. Sending save-the-dates will allow your guests to book tickets around your event, or let you know in advance that they can’t make it.
 
6 Weeks Out

  • Order any party supplies you’ll be purchasing online and/or that have a lead time – The pandemic supply chain is a doozy (just ask us!) Allow plenty of time to order products online, or for customized items like napkins that sport your business logo.
 
4 Weeks Out

  • Research and choose games or activities
 
  • Purchase indoor and outdoor decorations you can find locally

  • Recruit helpers if your event is going to be large (or book with MBD and consider us your holiday elves!)
 
  • Create a timeline for the event itself – Reserve windows of time for any structured activities like meals or games, and be sure to allow time for networking.
 
3 Weeks

  • If doing a Secret Santa, send out guidelines (price, size/type of gifts) to participants
 
  • Send out invitations
 
1 Week

  • Purchase last-minute supplies
 
  • Confirm contracts with vendors (caterer, rentals, entertainment, etc.)
 
  • Create a setup timeline for the day of the event – Venues allocate a certain amount of time for setup, which can vary greatly. Ensure you have access to your party space in time to set up before guests arrive. You may need a large team to set up a complex event within the venue-specified time frame (another great reason to hire us!)
 
3 Days

  • Share relevant information such as parking directions with guests
 
  • Finalize RSVPs and provide head counts to vendors
 
1-2 Days

  • Organize and collect decorations to take to venue
 
  • Finalize timeline for day-of setup

​When you book with MBD Marketing & Events, we do all the heavy lifting. Our holidays are already filling up with contracts, so book ASAP with our team of creative, experienced event planners for an unforgettable company holiday party.

  • Relaxing vibe, and plenty of comfortable seating for private conversations
  • Art with plenty of stories

  • A wonderful patio, perfect for private events and summer happy hours
  • A neutral palette throughout the hotel, making any event color/theme easy to incorporate
  • 2 bars, and a restaurant onsite
  • The variety of event space allows for weddings, corporate events, meetings, holiday parties, company parties and private events to take place
  • A boutique feel, but backed by a big name (Marriott) which is great for frequent travelers who like their points
  • A variety of sleeping room options
  • Comfy robes in your room
  • Pet-friendly
  • Family-friendly
  • Great views! Yes, you can see the mountains from the top floor!

In 2017 SAFEbuilt is celebrating 25 years in business. They are a fast-growing company with passionate employees. 

With so much growth and a need to connect folks from all over the US, and put together relevant and useful content - My Big Day was brought in to organize details, manage presentations and overall content, assist with employee activities, oversee hotel meals, AV and operations - and the conference as a whole.
The 2017 conference was held at the world-leading Embassy Suites in Loveland, Colorado. Management traveled from all over the US to be part of this 4 day knowledge sharing, training and bonding retreat.

Below are some photos from Michelle Badger Photography.

We were thrilled to be the corporate event planners for this conference. Meetings, retreats, conventions, business luncheons - we love to plan it all!

Tips for Cancelling Your Big Day (Parties, Corporate events, Weddings, Meetings, Retreats, etc.)

10/9/2017

 

Tips for Cancelling Your Big Day (Parties, Corporate events, Weddings, Meetings, Retreats, etc.)

Picture
Having been in the planning business for over 20 years, we've experienced a thing or two when it comes to cancellations. Whether it's an illness, tragedy, weather related issue, or a 'life change'... we know how life can throw you curve-balls.

Below is a list our team came up with that EVERY event should use or at the very least consider when planning a large event.
Picture
Planning in Advance
  • Make sure your vendors will take calls and emails on weekends- and will respond.
  • Event insurance is an option. It comes in many forms that you can purchase online. We highly recommend it!
  • Read your contracts carefully. (For both vendors and insurance) What is their cancellation clause? Can you reschedule?
  • Have a document available with every vendor's phone number and email for emergency contacts. It doesn't hurt to have contact information for VIPs with your company or bridal party so that those who can make decisions are available to you.
  • Have multiple ways to contact you attendees. Keep a spreadsheet with emails and phone numbers for quick access. Or, if you have a website or social media page - keep it updated for your guests.
  • Consider the time of year you are planning. Look at past weather to predict future complications.
  • Always have a 'plan B' - for every element of your event.  Both postponing and cancellation.
  • Let's your guests know what you plan B is in the case of potential cancellation- that way there are no surprises.
  • Be aware of your surroundings. If you are holding a conference and need technical supplies, is there a store nearby that you could run to?  If you have a mountain wedding and your florist is in an accident, is there a flower shop nearby?
Picture
Post Mortem
  • Inform your vendors
  • Inform your guests
  • Contact your insurance company ASAP to get the paperwork rolling
  • Offer succinct, clear messaging
  • Can you reuse materials, sell decorations you purchased?
  • Breathe. This happens. Feel confident in your decision - don't second guess!


Next time - hire an event planner to manage all of the details, plan B's and emergencies!
