The temperatures have fallen and snow is on the ground, but that doesn’t mean it’s too early to start planning your spring or summer event. In fact, now is when you should start putting the details together for your warm weather outdoor event to ensure that everything will run smoothly.

- Check Event Calendars
For big events, always check local public calendars to ensure that your event won’t have to compete against any other popular happenings. You want to give your event the best chance of succeeding by not dividing your audience.

The hardest part of planning any event is finding the right vendors. Whether it’s a caterer or portable restroom service, be sure that you can book the best vendors for your event. Call in advance to research rates and put down a deposit to hold your date.
