Are you planning an event sometime this year and need to know the words seasoned veterans of the event planning business know? Fun Planners offers Orlando event planning lingo that you need to know so you can better communicate with vendors. These brief descriptions will help you understand and execute your event planning efforts more effectively.
- Blackout Dates: Dates that are not available to be booked as a result of high demand or limited availability. Typically, blackout dates occur around holidays or during a specific busy season.
- Break Out Rooms: Smaller rooms used for specific sessions within a larger conference or event.
- Comp Rooms: Based on the number of rooms your group picks up, the hotel might provide you some complimentary rooms or room nights. You can work with a hotel to figure out the details.
- Cut-Off-Date: The date at which a guaranteed number is required for finalization.
- Request for Proposal (RFP): Typically, larger companies request an RFP that contains detailed information for a vendor so that companies can bid on a specific event.
- Skirting: This is in reference to the fabric that goes around the tables, stages, and risers.
Understanding the terminology and lingo can help you better understand the industry and talk to your partners and vendors. If you are worried about setting up your event, don’t worry. Fun Planners offers comprehensive Orlando event planning in Florida. Contact us today by calling 407-880-3521.
