How to do event planning?

Event planning has become a big business. There are many types of event from birthday parties to product launches. Many of the most successful events are themed. This is where we at Keeley Hire come into our own as we have movie props and stage props which are perfect as part of the setting for a themed event. One of the keys to successful event planning is to think as far ahead as possible, particularly as many of the most popular props for events can get booked out months in advance.


There are a number of themes for events which come up so often, so you’ll find some of the more popular props are grouped together within themes. For example, for medieval themed events, you can find items such as banquet tables and iron candleholders. There are a variety of barrels and barrel holders. You might also want the settings, tools and props for medieval trades such as blacksmiths. Livestock can also be catered for, with medieval cages and if you want something to cook the livestock in you could even opt for cauldrons as well. Medieval themed props are particularly in demand at Halloween.

Another very popular theme is the 70s and 80s and science fiction. You could combine these themes by having Daleks at your event, Doctor Who’s sworn enemies. Or if you want something a little less threatening, you could choose the Doctor’s faithful dog, K-9. Perhaps you prefer your science fiction Hollywood style. If that’s the case, don’t worry because you could choose some great props for a Star Wars themed event. These include Darth Vader, Jar Jar Binks and the droid R2 D2.
You might also want to choose a range of giant props which will create a buzz at any event. These include a tea cup and, rather less friendly, a dinosaur paw.
