Corporate Events NYC

Events are a team sport, and building a robust network of reliable vendors—from florists and photographers to caterers and audiovisual experts—could not be more crucial. And while the needs of each event vary, there are certain qualities that Sequence Events believe consistently make some vendors and venues stand out to us as excellent partners.

Here are some things Sequence Events look for when choosing vendors, and why these factors encourage them to build long-lasting working relationships.

1. Industry and Event-Specific Knowledge

Events come in all shapes and sizes, and what works for a social gathering won’t necessarily cut it for a corporate conference or a nonprofit gala. Different industries, like financial or pharma, also have their own unique quirks and needs. Sequence Events appreciate vendors who understand this and bring the right know-how to the table. It’s all about knowing the lay of the land, which helps us nail the specifics of each event without missing a beat.

2. Communication Skills

Effective communication is the backbone of any successful relationship. Sequence Events treasure vendors who not only communicate clearly and proactively, but also respond swiftly and stick to scheduled meetings (and price quotes!). This kind of open communication builds trust and keeps everything running smoothly.

3. Time Management Skills—and Flexibility!

Event planning can be unpredictable, and Sequence Events often need to make last-minute changes—whether it’s due to what a client wants or something unexpected popping up. That’s why it’s super important for vendors to be on top of their game when it comes to organization and managing their time.

Going hand in hand with that, of course, is the need for creativity and flexibility! This kind of creativity and flexibility are key to tailoring events that truly stand out and capture exactly what our clients are imagining.

4. A Proven Track Record

Reliability is everything, and Sequence Events love to work with vendors they know personally or those who come with glowing recommendations from people they trust. If that’s not an option, it’s crucial that vendors can show off some solid testimonials or let them chat directly with their previous clients. These kinds of endorsements really help them feel good about their ability to consistently deliver top-notch services.

5. Mutual Respect

We’re all human beings working in a stressful industry—and mutual respect is the bedrock of any great partnership. Sequence Events aim to be as helpful and flexible with vendors as they hope they’ll be with them. Getting on the same page not only makes the planning process smoother, but also creates a space where everyone can be creative and adaptable.
