Event Planning Trends for 2019: Diversity
When it comes to event planning, diversity is more than just a buzzword. More than ever, the US is awakening to the importance of representation. In order to celebrate diversity in our personal lives, it is important to give proper attention to representation when it comes to special events. Here are two ways you can do this whether you are planning a private or a corporate event.
- Diverse food – There is beauty in cuisine from all around the world. At your next event, why not hire a caterer who specializes in food from a particular region. This can result in enjoying authentic ethnic cuisine rather than the Americanized version most of us are used to eating at restaurants.
- Diverse entertainment – Whether it be diverse music styles or performers, your entertainment can showcase the cultures that make this nation what it is today. For example, at SGM Events, you can book a modern funk band like The Soultones, or a Brazilian solo artist like Dusty Brough. Check out our artist list for a variety of genres of performer.

Tips for Throwing the Ultimate Office Holiday Party
Let’s face it – a lot of people just go to the office holiday party for the booze. It’s time to shake things up and throw an office party that really rocks. Here are the must-haves for this year’s bash.
- Rent a venue – Having the office party at the office feels too close to work for anyone to really relax (that’s why they go straight for the alcohol). Renting a venue for the party can help everyone to loosen up a little.
- Use a caterer – The better the food, the better the party. A great meal is something that everyone can come together over.
- Hire the right entertainment – Now that you have everyone loosened up with a change of scenery and some good food, it’s time to really wow them. Hiring a professional DJ can liven up the party and may even get the office wallflower to have a little fun.

Don’t Make These Mistakes When Hiring Entertainment for Corporate Events
Entertainment plays a vital role in just about any special event, and this holds true in the corporate world as well. However, corporate events require the right touch when choosing entertainment. Here are a few mistakes that event planners often make, so you can avoid them.
- Hiring entertainment simply because it is expected – Yes, you should have entertainers at your corporate event, but matching the entertainment to the objective of the occasion is important. Otherwise, even a good entertainer can end up out of place.
- Not considering who will be at the event – In the corporate world, we are usually trained not to think about things like age, gender, race, or other factors that can be divisive. However, these demographics are the exact things that can help you to choose the right type of entertainment for your team.
- Just hiring some local talent that you saw at a club or heard of through a friend – Corporate events require a professional touch, and that means hiring acts that are represented by an agency like SGM Events. You know the agency vets the acts so that you get the performance and professional courtesy your staff deserves.
