A planning guide by Get Out! Events.
Orchard Road is where many companies look first when they want a private event in a central, well-known location. Orchard Hotel Singapore, a long-established hotel in the middle of the shopping belt, offers ballrooms and function rooms with in-house catering, which makes it a natural shortlist option for a corporate gala dinner.
A gala is more formal than a typical company dinner. Guests expect a dress code, a polished reception, a well-paced programme and a room that looks the part. This guide helps event, HR and corporate communications teams plan a gala evening at Orchard Hotel from first idea to the last guest leaving.
