What should I check when choosing caterers and entertainers?
Check experience with 40th birthdays, sample menus or setlists, and whether they can cater to dietary needs. Read recent reviews and view photos to judge quality and consistency. Ask about flexibility on timings, equipment needs and any additional charges so there are no surprises. Confirm cancellation terms and a clear payment schedule before committing.
How do I compare quotes and pick the best value supplier?
Compare like-for-like items such as guest numbers, service hours and what’s included so quotes are fair. We show quotes, reviews and photos side by side so you can compare quality, price and availability at a glance. Use the chat feature to clarify any assumptions, request an itemised quote and negotiate specifics. Choose the supplier who offers the best mix of price, reliability and fit for your 40th and then book directly with them.
What practical steps should I take when working with suppliers in the run-up to the party?
Confirm final guest numbers, delivery times and setup requirements in writing at least two weeks before the event. Request a final invoice and receipt for any deposits and agree a payment schedule that suits both parties. Keep a single document with contact details, arrival times and contingency plans so staff can access it on the day. Do a final check on licences, insurance and any venue restrictions to avoid last-minute issues.
