Halloween Music
15 Oct 2012
For a great Halloween party the music has to be a combination of the usual dance floor anthems mixed up with a selection of spooky classics, and we all know what they are! I also mix up spooky sound effects over the top of my set to make an even better experience. If the venue has screens or TV monitors then an optical experience can be created with visuals and music videos; clips of horror films are great and will also add to the Halloween atmosphere of the party.

Halloween Parties
01 Oct 2012
As Halloween looms, Merlin Events wants to know what you think makes a Halloween party so terrifyingly exciting you scream with delight.It is believed that Halloween initially incorporated traditions from festivals honouring the dead. It seems that nowadays we still honour these traditions by resurrecting the same old Halloween themes.

Exhibitions do they have a place in 2012?
26 Sep 2012
Having been in the events industry since about 1992, I can recall in 2002 I was exhibiting at Crème a secretary show, Confex, RSVP, World Travel Market and EIBTM along with a few sales missions to the U.S.This was a time when I stopped printing costly, big, glossy brochures that went out of date the week after print. Merlin Events changed to a magazine format that ran for 5 years; some of you may remember it ‘Eventspiration’.The internet was getting faster and we had just uploaded a new website which was becoming, along with word of mouth, our key source of business.

Whats your budget?
14 Sep 2012
One of the first questions my team will ask a client is “what is your budget?” Yet so many respond with “oh we don’t have one” or “I would rather not tell you”.Firstly, I find it unbelievable that clients are actually contacting venues when they do not have a budget. What a waste of everyone’s time!

Placement Students
21 Aug 2012
I can guarantee I would not be doing the job I am right now if I had not completed a placement within the ‘industry’ at Merlin Events. It’s all well and good studying Events Management at University, but I cannot stress the importance of real world experience enough – it provides a full circle view of everything that goes into organising an event.

Whats a work based placement?
13 Aug 2012
I may have once said a placement year is a way to extend student life for another year, but now sitting at my desk and my placement having finished I would say it is the best experience of my working life so far. My placement year has taught me invaluable amounts about the events industry and A LOT about life.
