Planning for an Outdoor Event or Wedding in a Covid 19 World

Hello Friends,

What in the world is happening?  No one could have imagined a world with a global pandemic.  It has been months or maybe years you have worked on the event of your dreams and now Illinois is in the Recovery Phase of the Restore Illinois plan issued by the Governor.  Everyone is hoping to move to Revitalization Phase 4 this summer.  Phase 4 includes gatherings with 50 people or fewer, restaurants with limited capacity and following strict public health procedures including social distancing and personal protective equipment for the employees.  The question is how to plan for an event this summer.  An outdoor event may be worth considering for 2020.

A favorite phrase at Perfect Events by Jan is “if it is predictable, it is preventable”.  We specialize on having a plan and a backup plan for everything.  We work with everyone (not just the venue) to ensure proper disinfecting and sanitizing protocols are implemented. This could include hand sanitizers, masks and UV lights.  Safety is always our top priority.  

An outdoor event or wedding is always extra challenging in Illinois.  Special considerations for an outdoor event might include tents, lights, heaters, fans, bugs, dance floor, photographers experienced with natural lighting, flowers and decorations which can withstand temperature and wind fluctuations.  This list is endless and we love handling every detail.

You are determined to have the event this year. An event planner and coordinator are more important than ever.  Janis a Certified Project Management Professional (PMP) with a Master’s in Business Administration and 20+ years of professional experience.   Perfect Events by Jan offers professional planning and execution for events and weddings filled with happiness and joy. 

XOXO

Happiness and joy, 
Jan
