4. Desired set-up of room (rounds, classroom)

Quick Tips Continued
•Set your RSVP deadline far enough in advance of your
meeting. Many caterers (including Sammy’s) require advance
notice of your final catering count.
•Designate one single point of contact to work with your facility
event planner. This helps reduce miscommunication &
confusion.
•For larger events, or more complex set-ups, schedule a
walkthrough with your event planner at least one week before
your event.
•Keep your event planner in the loop. The more notice we
have of changes the more likely we can fit your new needs.
•Remember to ask us questions and allow us to assist you in
the planning. We want to show your company what a
superstar you are by delivering a flawless event.
