Real Talk on AI in Event Planning
As an event planning and marketing business committed to staying at the forefront of industry trends, Big Deal Company has spent a lot of time analyzing the use of AI in all of our work. New tools? New trends? We are all about it! But sometimes, it is helpful to hit the pause button, particularly when it comes to AI.
 
Don’t get us wrong - AI has some amazing uses. It can streamline a schedule, crunch data like a champ, and it is a helpful tool in brainstorming creative ideas and jumping off points. But when it comes to planning real-life events with real-life logistics (and budgets!).... Let’s just say there are some major reality checks happening.
​
When AI Inspo Gets Out of Hand
Let’s start with what’s driving planners and creatives a little nuts these days. Clients are coming in with AI-generated “inspo” pics that oftentimes look like they were ripped straight from a sci-fi fantasy - literally impossible to pull off.
 
We’re talking about extravagant chandeliers hanging from glass ceilings, flower walls defying gravity, hair that could only exist in a wind-free world. Wedding planners, stylists, and even plastic surgeons are all saying the same thing: AI is warping expectations, and it’s putting professionals in a tough spot.
 
One wedding consultant told The Washington Post she lost a five-figure gig just for saying, “Hey, maybe the Met Gala look isn’t in your $10K budget.” Ouch.

​AI Can Be Smart - But It’s Not Creative Like a Human
AI is a powerful tool for streamlining schedules and analyzing data - but it doesn’t get the vibe or vision of an event the way humans do. An AI tool might say, “Great, let’s do a Gatsby-themed party,” without realizing that you’ve already had three Gatsby parties in your circle this year - and everyone’s over it.
 
Events aren’t just schedules and color palettes - they’re emotions, energy, and connection. And you need humans to truly get that. AI-generated ideas often result in uninspiring and generic event themes, missing the emotional resonance that human planners provide.
 
Misinformation is a Real Risk
Another AI issue? AI sometimes just makes stuff up. These are often called “hallucinations,” and they’re a big deal in event planning. Imagine putting the wrong location on invites or promising a feature that doesn’t even exist - just because AI spit it out. One wrong detail and you’re dealing with big chaos on the big day.
 
For example, we ran event information for one of our clients through a design app’s AI feature to create an event poster, and this is what it spit out:

The AI-description it provided for the poster read: “A vibrant poster announcing a book release party for 'Brewed at Altitude' hosted by Mulberry Max on May 3rd. The design features a stylized illustration of a mountain range with a steaming mug of beer superimposed, set against a backdrop of sunset hues. The text ‘Brewed at Altitude Book Release Party’ is prominently displayed in a bold, elegant serif font, with supporting text detailing the event: a lecture by Colorado historians and authors and local brewery tastings. The overall style is clean, modern, and visually appealing, incorporating elements of vintage poster design.”
 
A steaming mug of beer? Misspelling? Yikes! However, on a serious note, AI missed the boat on date, time, and location. Some of that is in the design, but it is not very clear and certainly not on brand.
 
Let’s Talk About Data Privacy (Because It’s a Big Deal at Big Events)
Like we’ve already said - AI can help support large projects, whipping up personalized itineraries, automating customer service, and even generating slick marketing designs with a few pitfalls (reread that last section). However, we can’t ignore the elephant in the ballroom: data privacy.
 
When you’re planning large-scale conferences or corporate events, you’re collecting a lot of attendee data - everything from dietary restrictions to session behavior to professional affiliations. That’s a goldmine of information - and a massive responsibility to safeguard.
 
Real talk: The moment you feed that data into an AI tool, you’ve got to ask some serious questions. Who else can access it? Where is it stored? How is it used? And are you absolutely sure it’s secure?
 
Real tip: Don’t input sensitive information into just any AI app - especially not public ones. And when using tools like ChatGPT for creative stuff, keep your prompts super generic. That marketing headline? Go ahead. Internal attendee data or budget details? Steer clear.
 
If you’re managing a big event, think of AI as a helpful assistant. Great at sorting information and handling tasks - but not someone you hand the keys to the vault. Protect your attendees. Protect your organization. And be smart about how you use the technology.
 
It’s Not Cheap Either
AI is not always the budget-friendly solution it’s hyped up to be. There are a lot of free or low-cost AI tools floating around, but when you’re looking at scalable, secure, and truly effective AI for event planning - especially for corporate meetings and conferences - you’re entering serious investment territory.
 
For example, custom AI-powered event apps. Between development, software licenses, integrations, testing, and ongoing maintenance, you could easily be looking at a $25,000 - $50,000 price tag. That’s before you even account for team training, cybersecurity compliance, or system upgrades. Ouch!
 
The big takeaway? AI can definitely be powerful, but it’s not plug-and-play on a shoestring budget. You need a solid strategy and wallet to make it work without compromising on security, creativity, or control.

Take it from our 3-handed AI generated team member below.

​The Bottom Line: Keep It Real
At Big Deal Company, we love innovation. But we also love reality. While AI can be super helpful behind the scenes, it’s not ready to take over event planning yet. Your dream day, launch party, or corporate bash deserves ideas that are doable, creative, and crafted by professionals who get it.
 
So - bring the AI inspo if you want - we’ll help you filter it through what is actually possible. Because when it comes to planning an unforgettable event, the human touch still wins every time.

​Building strong client relationships doesn't have to feel like a corporate handshake marathon. The best connections happen when people are engaged, having fun, and feeling genuinely appreciated. VIP experiences, hands-on workshops, or themed parties, the key is creating moments that build trust and lasting partnerships—without the boring small talk.

​1. Exclusive Client Appreciation Dinner
Nothing says "we appreciate you" like an unforgettable meal. Host a private dinner at a top-notch restaurant, a chef's table experience, or even a rooftop soirée with a killer view. Whether it's a wine pairing, a tasting menu, or a laid-back family-style feast, the goal is to make clients feel special in a relaxed, intimate setting.
 
2. Interactive Workshops
Why tell clients about what you do when you can show them? Hands-on workshops are a great way to share knowledge while keeping things fun and engaging. Whether it's a live demo, a skill-building session, or an insider look at your process, adding interactive elements like Q&As or group activities makes it more memorable.
 
3. Networking Mixers
Ditch the stiff business gatherings and make networking actually enjoyable. Host a mixer in a fabulous setting like an art gallery, brewery, or rooftop lounge. Add icebreakers or fun activities to keep the energy up. Think live music, themed cocktails, or even a game night twist to help spark meaningful connections.
 
4. Community Service Events
Doing good together is a great way to build stronger relationships. Get clients involved in a cause that matters—volunteer at a local nonprofit, organize a charity run, or even host an eco-friendly initiative like a tree-planting event. It's a win-win: you strengthen bonds while making a positive impact.
 
5. Virtual Webinars
When in-person isn't an option, virtual events are the next best thing. Host an engaging webinar on a hot industry topic, invite a guest speaker, or run an interactive Q&A session. Keep it lively with polls, live chat, and real-time discussions. Bonus: record it so clients can refer back anytime.
 
 
6. VIP Experiences
Give your clients an experience they won't forget. Think behind-the-scenes access, sneak peeks at upcoming products, or something extra special like a VIP box at a concert or sporting event. Whether it's an exclusive preview or a once-in-a-lifetime outing, the goal is to make them feel like true insiders.
 
7. Roundtable Discussions
Sometimes, the best ideas come from an open, honest conversation. Host a roundtable discussion with a select group of clients to chat about industry trends, challenges, and opportunities. Keep it informal, encourage participation, and let everyone share insights—it's a great way to build trust and show clients you value their expertise.
 
8. Customer Appreciation Days
A full day dedicated to celebrating your clients? Yes, please. Host an in-person or online event with special discounts, giveaways, or exclusive perks. Add fun elements like a pop-up party, live music, or surprise treats to make them feel genuinely appreciated.
 
9. Annual Conferences
A yearly event that brings clients together to learn, network, and get inspired? Sounds like a must. Offer compelling speakers, engaging breakout sessions, and interactive panels. Don't forget the fun stuff—think cocktail hours, entertainment, or even a surprise guest appearance to keep things lively.
 
10. Themed Parties
Because business events don't have to be boring. Throw a themed party that allows clients to unwind and have fun. Whether it's a Gatsby-style soiree, a tropical luau, or a winter wonderland bash, adding themed décor, food, and entertainment makes for a memorable night they won't stop talking about.
 
At BIG DEAL Company, we know that a great event isn't just about logistics—it's about creating an experience your clients will rave about. From concept to execution, our full-service marketing and event planning team can take your client appreciation event from good to unforgettable. Whether you're looking to host an intimate dinner, a high-energy mixer, or a full-scale conference, we'll handle the details so you can focus on building those all-important relationships. Let's make your next event a BIG DEAL!
 

Planning an event is like playing Jenga.  Every piece holds another piece up and when they line up it’s perfect.  The venue is one of the biggest pieces that can balance out and save other pieces from falling. But what exactly makes a venue perfect for your event?  For corporate meetings, weddings, or charity galas, these top 10 venue must-haves will help you lock in success!
 
1. Location, Location, Location
The first rule of real estate applies to event venues too. Choose a spot that’s easy to find, close to public transport, and has ample parking. Bonus points if it’s in a trendy neighborhood that guests will be excited to visit.
BDC Pro Tip: Check out the surrounding area for restaurants, hotels, and attractions to keep your guests entertained before and after the event.
 
2. The Right Atmosphere
Your venue sets the tone for the entire event. A rustic barn might not scream "corporate excellence," just as a sterile boardroom won’t fit a whimsical wedding.
BDC Pro Tip: Consider the vibe you’re going for. Does the venue enhance your theme, or will you need to spend time and money transforming it?
 
3. Flexibility with Layouts
A great venue offers flexibility. You should be able to arrange seating, stages, and dance floors to fit your needs. No one wants to be stuck in a venue that’s rigid about floor plans.  Some venues even charge extra if you move around too much furniture, so ask ahead of time.
BDC Pro Tip: Ask if the venue has movable walls, customizable lighting, and various furniture options to help bring your vision to life.
 
4. Tech-Savvy Amenities
In today’s world, tech can make or break an event. Look for venues with strong Wi-Fi, AV equipment, and enough power outlets to keep your tech-savvy attendees happy.  It’s especially nice if they have a specific contact who will be on hand to help with any last-minute questions.
BDC Pro Tip: Test the Wi-Fi strength before booking—especially if you’re planning a hybrid event, live-streaming, or digital ticket check-in.
 
5. A Dedicated Point of Contact
A venue with a dedicated event coordinator is a game-changer. They know the ins and outs of the space and can troubleshoot problems before you even realize they exist.
BDC Pro Tip: Build a relationship with this person. Their insider knowledge can save you time, money, and headaches.
 
6. Catering Options That Wow
Let’s face it—food is a highlight of any event. Your venue should either have a top-notch catering team or allow you to bring in your own caterer.
BDC Pro Tip: Ask about menu customization and dietary accommodations. A gluten-free option here and a vegan dish there can make all the difference for guests.
 
7. Adequate Restrooms (Yes, Really!)
It’s not glamorous, but restroom availability is crucial. No one wants long bathroom lines at a formal event.
BDC Pro Tip: Make sure the restrooms are clean, well-stocked, and easily accessible. If the venue has attendants to maintain them during the event, even better!
 
8. Ample Parking (or Easy Transport Options)
Guests should feel relaxed when they arrive—not stressed from circling the block for parking. If parking is limited, ensure there are clear alternatives, like ride-share drop-off zones.
BDC Pro Tip: If the venue is in a busy area, consider arranging a shuttle service to make transportation seamless.
 
9. Accessibility for All
Your venue should be welcoming to everyone, including those with disabilities. Check for ramps, elevators, and accessible restrooms.
BDC Pro Tip: Don’t forget about acoustics for guests with hearing difficulties and clear signage for those who might need assistance navigating the space.
 
10. Backup Plans (Because Life Happens)
Even the best-planned events can hit a snag. Whether it’s a sudden rainstorm or a tech failure, your venue should have contingency plans.
BDC Pro Tip: Ask about indoor/outdoor options, generator backups, and on-call staff to handle unexpected hiccups.
 
Choosing the right venue can feel overwhelming, but focusing on these must-haves will make your decision easier—and your event more successful.

This year we had the opportunity to plan the fun and support the following themes, "Jingle All The Way To The Jackpot" and a family party that was decked out in Traditional Christmas cheer!

The planning process for these December events began in May - prospecting venues, vendors, budgeting, theme ideation,  and all of the big details for these complex events. The casino holiday party included a band, casino rental company, caricature artist, fortune teller, dinner/bar, and AI photo booth!

The family Christmas party was a great way for all Colorado families to see Santa and Mrs Claus, write letters to Santa, have their faces painted, receive gifts from Santa - and eat, drink & be merry!

Thank you to all of the vendors and event team for making these events successful and for bringing joy to families across Colorado!

Are you hosting family over the holidays, or have you been put in charge at the office of 'company fun' at the Christmas party?  Make your holiday gatherings unforgettable with our Holiday Party Games Guide! From spirited trivia challenges to hilarious gift-exchange games and creative activities for kids, these ideas are perfect for adding laughter and joy to your celebrations.
 
***Disclosure: Please don’t drive after drinking***

1.      GIFT WRAPPING GAME
​Divide groups into pairs. Each pair of people stands around a table in front of a piece of wrapping paper, a roll of tape, scissors, ribbon, and shirt gift boxes. Each pair of players stands with one arm around the other person. Say "Go!” and the players must race to wrap their box with one person using only their right hand and the other person using only their left hand. (Keep the other hand wrapped around the partner's waist.) The first pair to wrap their gift box wins!
2.     ORNAMENT GUESS
A great way to start your holiday party is to have guests guess how many ornaments are on your tree when they walk into the party.  The person with the closet guess wins!

3.     TOOTHPICK TOWER MARSHMALLOW GAME
Supplies: Toothpicks, mini marshmallows
Who can build the tallest marshmallow tower? It may sound simple, but you have to be super fast and somewhat creative to win. Suggested for ages 10 and up.

4.    SHAVING CREAM SANTAS
Supplies: Shaving Cream, plastic spoons, and paper towels.
Divide into pairs. Each pair decides who will play Santa. The Santa covers his/her face with shaving cream. The other player is Santa's barber. Jingle a bell to start! The teams race to "shave" their Santas. The winning team is the first to have a clean-shaven Santa and set their spoon on the table. To signify they are done, Santa lets out a loud "Ho ho ho!” Tip: Make this an edible game for kids with non-dairy whipped cream.

5.     BALLOON STOMPING GAME
Grab a bag of dollar store balloons and give one to each player with some curling ribbon. Each player blows up their balloon and ties it to their ankle. Now blow a horn or ring a holiday bell to start the stomping!  Each party guest must stomp the other players’ balloons. The more you stomp, the better your chances of winning the game. The last person to have a balloon wins! Use masking or painter's tape to mark a circular play area on the floor.

​6.    DRUNK TREASURE HUNT
Hide two chests with gifts in them in two different locations and keep clues leading to the treasure hidden around your property. This sounds like a normal treasure hunt game, but this one is better: With every clue a team finds in this game, a bottle of whiskey is awarded. Each member of the team will have a shot of whiskey before continuing on their quest to find the treasure. With every clue they find, teams will drink more, making it difficult – and hilarious – to find the treasure. The best part is both teams will get presents and every participant will enjoy themselves – especially the ones who appreciate a drink or two.
​
7. NAME THOSE LOGOS
​Go through several magazines and cut out advertisement symbols (i.e. the VW logo, but not the word Volkswagen).  Paste each on the white side of a 3×5 card and have everyone go around the room with an answer sheet and try to identify as many of the symbols as possible.

​8.      DRESS UP SANTA
​With Dress Up Santa, you'll need plenty of space to play – preferably a large room, where there won't be much furniture in the way. Break everyone into 2-3 equal teams, assigning each to its own work area in the room. In each work area is a large cardboard box with a Santa Claus outfit (costume, boots, hat, beard, and all). On “Go,” all groups compete to be the first to dress up one of their team in the full Santa gear. Set the round for 3-5 minutes. To win, a team must use up all the items in their box and produce the best-dressed Santa.

9.     WHAT’S IN YOUR STOCKING?
For a large party, divide the group into teams of 3-5 people. Give each team a Christmas stocking full of holiday items that has been tied shut with ribbon. (Get the Christmas stockings ready ahead of time by filling them loosely with small, non-fragile objects: candy canes, plastic holly/mistletoe, plastic non-breakable tree ornaments, etc.)  Set a timer and give each team 3 minutes to feel the stocking and write down all the objects that they can identify by feeling them through the stocking. The team with the most correct items wins.

10.     AMAZING MAZE GAME
This game is ideal for children. Choose a variety of Christmas curling ribbon colors in a single roll or ball, one for each player. Tie a prize or party favor to one end of each ribbon. Hide the end with the gift on it somewhere in the house. Now, unwind the ribbon and wrap it all over the room – around furniture, over tables, under doors, anywhere to create a fun challenge. Tie a candy cane to the other end of the ribbon. Repeat for each player, tangling the ribbons if necessary. When the guests arrive, give each one a candy cane and have them follow the ribbon to untangle it (wrapping it around their candy cane as they go).  Let them know it leads to a surprise. Let the fun begin!

11.    CHRISTMAS WRAPPING “PIN THE BOW”
Wrap three large boxes. Line players up single file behind each box. Give each player a giant sticky bow, spin them around, and jingle a bell to start. Players must walk around the box, then pin the bow on top, return to the opposite end of the room, and sit down before the next team member goes. The first team with all members seated wins.

12.     FIND SANTA’S REINDEER
Buy some dollar store holiday stocking stuffers – reindeer, angels, Santas, etc.  Hide them around the house. Players must find reindeer to drive Santa's sleigh, 9 reindeer in all.  Attach a clue to each stuffer indicating where the next one can be found. When players find a reindeer, they will line it up next to the Santa. When all reindeer are placed next to Santa you announce the winner. The winner is the one who finds Rudolph. Winner gets a prize of their choice!

13.      CELEBRITIES
This is a great game for mingling at a party. Write the names of celebrities or characters on pieces of paper and stick them to players’ foreheads or backs (use tape or office Post-It notes). Make sure players don’t see their own name. The objective for players is to figure out who they are by interacting with other guests. Others can make sounds, give clues, or act out who you are. What a fun ice breaker!

14.     CHRISTMAS PIÑATA
Finding group holiday party games that everybody is sure to enjoy can be tough, but this idea will delight kids and kids-at-heart. Piñatas aren’t limited to kids’ birthday parties any longer! Look for one in the shape of an ornament or reindeer. Fill it with holiday candy and small toys, and let your guests swing away (just be careful not to knock over the Christmas tree)!
 
Whether you're hosting a family dinner, an office party, or a cozy gathering with friends, these holiday-themed games will keep everyone entertained and in the holiday spirit.

The “True American” drinking game is a chaotic and imaginative party game that gained popularity after being featured on the TV show New Girl. It combines elements of drinking, strategy, and teamwork with quirky rules that often involve navigating a room as though the floor is "lava." The game’s structure includes a mix of trivia, puzzle-solving, and an elaborate setup that often leaves room for improvisation, making it as much about creativity as it is about gameplay. Once all the beers have been removed, the first player to reach the bottle of alcohol, finish their beer, and take a swig from bottle, wins the game.
 
***Disclosure: Please don’t drive after drinking.***
​

​The Castle
The Castle is made up of one bottle of liquor and many cans of beer (you decide how many based on the number of players). The liquor is the King and sits in the middle of the Castle. The cans of beer are the Pawns and the Soldiers of the Secret Order. The Pawns are lined up in four lines radiating outward from the King. These lines of Pawns also signify the barriers between each zone. The game ends when all the Pawns have been removed and a player drinks from the King.
 
The Zones
There are four zones, each with five spaces where a player can stand. The center space in each zone is the only space where the Pawns can be taken and thus it is the closest space to the Castle. There are a total of four of these spaces. The spaces at the beginning and end of the zones are the farthest away from the Castle.
 
Setup
Before the game starts, determine how many beers total should be consumed and setup the Castle with those beers as the Pawns. Using the lines of Pawns as barriers between the zones; designate each zone, making sure to have 5 spaces in each zone as described above. Teams are optional.

Gameplay 
After setup is complete, players may have a shotgun contest to determine who has the first turn. If no player wisher to shotgun a beer, play rock-paper-scissors instead. To start the game, the winner of this contest yells "One, two three, JFK!" at which point all other players yell "FDR", grab a Pawn from the Castle, and retreat to any space.
 
Players move around the game area in a clockwise direction. The player whose turn it is always moves one space; however, the other players must "win" their moves. This player has three ways to provide the other players with a way to win their move.
 

• The Count: All players yell "One, two, three" and then hold a number of fingers, between one and five, against their foreheads. Anyone holding a number that no one else has chosen wins. Winners may move one spot.
• Complete a Quote: The player may slowly speak a quote from history or pop culture. Any other player that is able to jump in and complete the quote in tandem wins. Winners may move two spots.
• Something in Common: The player may yell out two people, places, or things. Any other player that can reply with what these two things have in common wins. Winners may move three spots.

 
Players must always have a beer in their hand and may not have more than three at any one time. Players may only take a Pawn from the Castle when they are in one of the four center spaces.
 
Winning
After all Pawns have been removed, the King is vulnerable. The first player to land on one of the center spaces, finish their beer and take a swig from the King, wins the game!
 
Losing
If you are caught without a beer or with only an empty beer, you lose. If you step in molten lava, you lose. To enter back into the game, drink one full beer and start on a space that the other players decide.
