Picking The Venue..... And Falling Head Over Heels...

My first task as a Trainee Event Planner has been a tricky challenge as I have to please 200 people. ( cue the panic stations now) 

Hastings Direct have annual Christmas parties, as do most companies, however this year the pressure is on to make it bigger and better than ever. 

I have had a ball looking at venues, and we wanted something different, something almost unique, and more to the point the wow factor.

After looking at several venues we discovered The Granary Estates, http://www.thegranaryestates.co.uk/

The website made it seem to be everything we were looking for, special, hidden away, and a brand new venue. 

We organised a visit, and were blown away. 

Granary Estates 

The idyllic scenery, the peaceful ambiance, it was everything we wanted and more. Amy Burns, the event organiser there, showed us round the venue, and as cliche as it sounds , I was head over heels with this venue. 

Entrance Hall

The entrance hall is just breathtaking, and will be the perfect starter point for our guests to have their welcome drinks and the main venue itself is just amazing. Superb lighting which creates the perfect mood.

The Party is taking place in January 2014, and will certainly be a memorable occasion I'm sure. I will of course keep you informed of the planning and also blog about the entertainment too.
