BIG DEAL Company's NoCo Easter Keg Hunt is an annual event that keeps adults young! A wild and crazy scavenger hunt takes place in downtown Loveland and Old Town, Fort Collins Colorado. It is the perfect marriage between a road rally and a bar crawl! Costumes, team color coordination, and 'Rabbit-Wear' is encouraged! A kick-off takes place at a local watering hole. Teams of up to 9 are gathered. Each team receives a bag filled with 'tools' for their hunt! Once we say the word "GO," all teams open their first Easter Egg and privately read their first clue. Each clue will lead teams to businesses around town where they will hunt for their eggs and solve clue after clue. The Easter Keg Hunt is by foot, and sure to be your favorite new way to celebrate Easter! The cost to participate is just $40 per person. The winning team receives a large keg trophy, and every team receives drinks and goodies along the way! The Hunt takes about 2-4 hours.

Research Utilize online platforms, recommendations from colleagues, and reviews to create a shortlist of professionals with a proven track record. Look for planners who have experience in organizing events similar to yours and have positive testimonials from satisfied clients. Consider factors such as the number and scale of events they have organized, the types of events they specialize in, and their familiarity with your event's specific requirements. Check References Dig deeper into the experience and expertise of each potential event planner on your shortlist. Request and check references from past clients to gain a better understanding of the event planner's reliability and professionalism. Honest feedback from those who have previously worked with the planner can provide valuable insights into their communication skills, ability to handle challenges, and overall performance. Look for Creativity and Innovation Events require a creative touch to stand out and leave a lasting impression. Evaluate the event planner's creativity by reviewing their portfolio and asking about unique solutions they've implemented in the past. A planner with a flair for innovation can bring fresh ideas to the table and elevate the overall experience of your event. Our team excels in this area – creativity, originality, and flexibility allowed us to grow our events business when the pandemic hit, while others scaled back. A seasoned event planner like BIG DEAL Company will bring valuable insights and problem-solving skills to the table. Communication Skills Effective communication is paramount in event planning. Assess the event planner's communication skills, responsiveness, and ability to understand and articulate your vision. Clear and open communication fosters a collaborative relationship, ensuring that everyone is on the same page throughout the planning process. Emergencies will arise, so an attentive planner who responds promptly is a must. Transparency and Integrity Choose an event planner who operates with transparency and integrity. This includes providing detailed contracts, outlining fees and expenses clearly, having direct conversations about expectations, and being honest about potential challenges or limitations. A trustworthy event planner will draw on their experience to prioritize your best interests and ensure a successful event. Your choice of event planner can significantly impact the success of your event. Remember, a well-chosen event planner not only executes logistical details but also adds a touch of magic to create an unforgettable experience for you and your guests – this is our favorite part!

Here are our BIG DEAL Company team’s essential tips for venues looking to contract with vendors that will help ensure seamless and successful events. Short on time? Download our short-and-sweet “cheat sheet.”
Before reaching out to any vendors, take time to consider your needs and expectations. Brainstorm services that would be helpful to your clients and that would enhance your venue offerings. Have a clear vision before initiating conversations with vendors. Research potential vendors in your area. Read reviews and check portfolios before reaching out – this background knowledge also prepares you in the event a vendor initiates a partnership conversation with you. Check References Contact past clients of the vendors you're considering. Ask about their experiences, the vendor's reliability, and how well they handled challenges. This will give you valuable insights into the vendor's professionalism and ability to deliver under various circumstances. Online reviews are a good starting point. Verify Licenses and Permits Ensure that all selected vendors have the necessary licenses and insurance coverage. This is especially important for vendors providing services such as catering, audio-visual support, and transportation. It protects both parties in case of any unforeseen incidents. Double-check that licenses and permits meet not only industry, but local, standards. Review Portfolios and Samples Examine potential vendor portfolios to assess the quality and style. Make sure their work aligns with your vision and the standards of your venue/clients. You might even attend vendor showcases and trade shows or request a private demo for services like entertainment. Communication and Responsiveness Establish open and clear communication from the beginning. Evaluate how promptly vendors respond to your inquiries. Effective communication is crucial for successful collaboration and helps prevent misunderstandings. Establishing strong relationships with reliable vendors can be mutually beneficial. Contractual Agreements/Negotiation Review contracts meticulously. Ensure all terms, conditions, and services are clearly outlined. Pay attention to payment schedules, payment methods, cancellation policies, and any other additional costs. A well-written contract protects both parties and minimizes the risk of misunderstandings. While negotiating terms and prices is common, be fair and realistic in negotiations – the ultimate goal is a partnership that benefits the venue and vendor. Main Point of Contact Clearly define who your main point of contact will be, their contact information, and emergency details should they not be able to follow through on their work. Choose a main point of contact with decision-making rights and who passes your evaluation of responsiveness. Remember to regularly review and update your vendor recommendations to stay competitive and meet the evolving needs of your clients. Download our Cheat Sheet for Venues Contracting Vendors and keep it handy as you navigate the partnership process.
