Event Planning Checklist for Zambia
A practical guide from Halo Event Planners, creating events and gifts in Zambia since 2015.
1. Set your budget and date
Know what you can spend before you talk to suppliers, and pick a date with a backup. Weekends and the end of the year book up quickly.
2. Choose the venue and guest count
Your guest count affects venue size, décor, catering and seating. Share the venue name with your planner early so they can plan the set-up.
3. Decide the look
Choose two or three colours and a theme. Balloon garlands, arches, backdrops, flowers and table centrepieces can all follow the same palette. See our gallery for ideas.
4. Book and pay the deposit
Ask for a written quotation. Our event bookings need a deposit of 70% to confirm, with the balance agreed in the quotation.
5. Confirm the details a week before
Reconfirm the date, access time, contact person and any extras such as a games host, cake, catering or photography.
