Like most of you, when planning events I have the challenge of staying within a tight budget without looking cheap. One of the biggest hurdles is usually deciding on a menu and where to order from. For small simple events you can check with a local pizzeria to see if they have a banquet menu. I have been pleasantly surprised with the quality, taste and presentation of the food offered by pizzerias. They have choices that will please any audience and allow you to have an impressive menu on a pizza budget.

Like building mutual business relationships with your sponsors, am I right Nicole? You help them advertise throughout the success of your event, while they provide prizes or booths for the occasion. It's a win-win situation. That's why a good events planner should hone their interpersonal skills with potential sponsors clients.
