For this one, balance is the key. So, after figuring out the main purpose of your event, it is time to do the math. Calculate everything you will possibly need – from the transportation to the accommodation and food of all attendees. Make sure to prepare a clear breakdown of expenses so it will be easier for you to present your proposed budget to the human resources team or your manager.

Pick an appropriate date and location.

After you’ve settled the two most important details, it is now time to choose the date and location. Come up with a list of possible schedules and weigh the pros and cons of each. If you plan on holding your event at a tropical destination or beachfront hotel in Boracay, it is best to choose a week during the summer season.

Zero in on the perfect venue.

There are many venues and function rooms available for all kinds of events. But if you are on the lookout for one that has complete amenities and is conveniently located near the beach and restaurants, no need to look further than our beachfront hotel in Boracay, Station 1!
