Company Party, Event Planning, Event Venue, Social Hall
Everyone wants to throw the party that the guests will remember for a lifetime! One of the best ways to be that party host is to make sure there are plenty of fun things to do and great entertainment at your event.
Make Your Party Memorable
Of course, the best way to have a party that no one would forget is to have a very famous celebrity show up and party all night long with your guests. Most people aren’t able to provide such a person, so here’s are some ideas that don’t require having Brad Pitt as your best buddy.
Fortune Teller
Fortune tellers have been popular for ages. A person’s curiosity for what may come is endless, so everyone wants their fortune told. Maybe it’s for real! Maybe it is just for fun. But we all want to believe all the good things they hear will come to pass.
A Game of Charades
The funny thing about Charades is that is just as fun to watch people play it as it is to play it yourself! So, even if only 20 people want to play it is still fun for everyone!
Live Music
Most people expect your party to have music. You can hire a local tribute band or just a talented DJ. Villa Ragusa can provide a dance floor if you’re planning on dancing.
Famous Character Entertainers
It goes without saying that your son’s birthday party would be a huge hit if Spiderman showed up! And everyone would squeal with delight if Captain Jack Sparrow stumbled in after a little too much rum.
Villa Ragusa Social Hall
Whether you need to hold a banquet, a private engagement party or a big family reunion, Villa Ragusa’s staff is here to help you make a memorable great time. Ask for a consultation.

Slash the Cost of Wedding Invitations
Most couples would be wise to stretch the budget along for getting more for less! And wedding invitations are where you should begin slashing costs.
Do you need to pay $1200 for 100 invites? No!
Here are ways you can get it under $500.
First, let’s talk printing. You do not have to use a wedding invitation service to have beautiful invitations. You can use a standard printer and get better quality paper and printing. Plus you can do anything you want for you designs!
A printer like Moo.com offers high quality printing and postcards that will wow your guests. Cost is about $173 for 100! They have a default design and you can even make every card different. If you want something a little more special you will need to give them the design if you don’t want them plain.
You’re not a graphic designer? No problem. You can have a pro design your wedding invitations very inexpensively! Beautiful designs created just for you. Costs? There are far below $100. Some of the Fiverr designers will includes lots of other designs along with your invitations like seating cards, thank you cards, etc. Be sure to tell them you need the source files.

In an age of cookie-cutter affairs, injecting personalization into your next function moves the needle from ho-hum to extraordinary. The trick is in making your guests feel special.
Applying custom details with attendees in mind makes them feel warmly recognized as individuals, not faceless corporate drones simply filling seats. Little customized accents also elevate perceived event exclusivity and thoughtfulness.
Set the Tone Through Little Touches
Kick your affair off on an intimately personalized note before guests even walk through the door. Extend uniquely warm digital invites complete with name etchings.
Print up stylized name cards or place tags delivering that “wow” factor up front. The name tags help move the conversations in the group because they know how to refer to each other.
Indulge Attendee Preferences
Get granular accommodating individual guest preferences to make everyone feel special, not just the VIPs. Note favorite hors d’oeuvres and pour favored libations unprompted. Customizing menus around personal tastes and restrictions prevents exclusions.
Surprise & Delight Moments
Look for opportune moments during mingling to thoughtfully impress through hyper-personalization. Casually address special life events or interests paying dividends conversationally. Consider props like a slideshow of old photos tailored per table sprinkled throughout meals.
Lasting Parting Gifts
Send guests floating towards exits with meaningful personalized mementos evoking your event fondly for years. Monogrammed goodie bags come standard – but ratchet things up gifting custom art pieces celebrating individuals’ hobbies uniquely.
The Power of Post-Event Surveys
Solicit pointed feedback around what personalized touches attendees loved most alongside any new ideas. This cements your commitment to keeping things intimate while continuously elevating affairs around desires.
Sprinkling in personalization demonstrates you’re throwing more than just another corporate mixer. Guests want to feel special too, not like another bottom-line business calculation. What details could you incorporate?

Review Extensive Wedding Portfolios
The quickest way to get the most fitting candidates is through recommendations. Ask your friends, contacts, or even our event organizers for professionals who did a wonderful job.
Then vet potential photographers packing extensive wedding experience. These nuptial celebrations share similar documentary demands as landmark corporate or social gatherings.
Study their styled shots conveying the emotional candor and scene-setting flair you crave. Meet to relay your event’s feel, then assess if they articulate an aligned artistic vision.
Gauge Storytelling Prowess
Poring over sterile product images and Facebook smiles proves insufficient. Examine photographer video montages through fresh eyes – could a highlight reel of random birthday party moments bring you to tears?
If not, pass. Skilled shooters spotlight sentimentality with enough context for impact. Judge the potency of their storytelling capacity.
Ask About Backup Plans
Between faulty memory cards, depleted batteries, or equipment mishaps, snafus needs contingency plans to avoid forever losing priceless team photos some CEO spent months organizing.
Quiz photographers on specific backup devices, dual camera usage, and assistant redundancy. Accept nothing less than assurance that no shot shall go uncaptured or die digitally.
If checking all boxes seems doubtful in photography, consider splitting duties between area specialists in stills and video to play to their respective creative strengths. Just confirm cooperation and willingness to avoid any territorial conflicts marring your memories!
Villa Ragusa provides a picturesque canvas – now render it a visual masterpiece for the ages with photography ringing true to your moment’s significance!
