The festive season is a time for gathering with loved ones, and if you're the one planning, you want everything to go smoothly. But where do you start? Here are a few tips to help you plan the perfect Christmas celebration.

1. Pick a Date That Works for Most

The first step is to find a date that suits the majority of your guests. Start by considering a few options—midweek, Friday, or Saturday. Narrow it down to three or four dates that work best for most people. Remember, finding a date suits everyone is almost impossible, so go with the majority. Waiting for a date that fits everyone’s schedule might mean the event never happens, so make a decision and move forward.

2. Choose the Perfect Location

Once the date is set it’s time to pick a location. Choose a place that is convenient for everyone. A venue like the Pembroke is ideal as it’s accessible by public transport, offers parking for those driving, and has a range of guest rooms and bed types to suit those who may want to stay overnight. The key is to select a location that minimises stress for your guests, allowing them to focus on enjoying the celebration.

3. Decide on the Style of Celebration

Finally, think about the kind of party you want to host. Do you envision an intimate gathering with a sit-down meal, where guests can enjoy a festive catch-up over delicious food prepared by an award-winning team? Or perhaps you prefer something more casual, like festive party food that encourages mingling and conversation. Whatever your style, make sure it reflects the atmosphere you want to create.

With these simple steps, you’ll be well on your way to planning a memorable Christmas celebration that everyone will enjoy.
