Once we have your event brief:

The enquiry brief was a difficult one to organise at this time, as October in Paris is a no no in terms of offering late availability in the right areas and the prices are OTT.          All I can say is that Paris must be one of the busiest conference and event destinations in the world and in some central venues at this time of year, they will not consider taking a day conference unless it is with accommodation as part of the booking.

Well we did it, by using all our contacts and one of the most frustrating elements was the time it took to get responses – I think they were out to lunch!

Fortunately the weather was good and during the afternoon following a product launch the staff participated in simple teambuilding events like three legged races, egg and spoon etc – why make it these events complicated and expensive – you can have just as much fun with the old school competitions and everybody knows what to do, without too much health & safety!!

Try something different and get your staff involved – Much healthier too!

JD also operate The Tatton Park Christmas Party, which this year is “Venetian Carnivale” and also a similar event at the ICC Birmingham, so if you wish to experience the best parties in the north west, then to to www.jdparties.co.uk.

So go direct and perhaps don’t use agencies to book accommodation, as you may well get a better deal.
