We all want the perfect holiday party, but because of schedules or the busyness of daily life, many wait to plan or book a holiday party until right near the holidays. With LULU Catering & Events, the perfect holiday party is within your grasp! Here are some reasons to book it now:

1. Better Attendance
​The earlier you set the date the better the turnout you’ll have at your party. During the busiest time of the year, it’s important to have your party details locked in early so your guests can plan around it.
​
Tip: Having your Christmas party in January is a great idea. This way everyone’s family parties & vacation time are over, you can kiss the Holidays goodbye and kick off the New Year!

2. Get What You Want
​Vendors and Venues fill up fast. And the best ones go first. The longer you wait to book, the less likely you will get the vendors you want for your party, especially on the date that you want.

Tip: Thursdays & Fridays are the most requested days for a business party. So make sure you reserve early for your venue of choice and any entertainment.

3. Pay Less & Stress Less
Planning a  party can be very stressful, especially if you wait until the last minute. Get everything done early and take a lot of pressure off yourself. This will mean you will have a lot more time to focus on fun things to do, and you will be more creative when it comes to the agenda, theme, decorations and even promotion of your now awesome Holiday Party! And as the old adage goes; the early bird catches the worm…a very nice discount for booking your holiday party NOW rather than later.

Tip: Most venues, catering and entertainment companies will offer discounts or a special package for booking early. This gives you more money to wisely spend on the decor, menu or….champagne!

Let’s get the Holiday Spirit going!
