It’s getting cold out there! What to do with coats during events

The other day I attended a wonderful networking event in Downtown Houston.

The night was BRRRR..cold! Not like today (December 4, 2009) in Houston,TX and it’s snowing! BUT it was chilly out so as anyone would do, I brought my coat.

When I arrived I asked the Host if there was a coat check so that I can leave it there and not have to worry about lugging around my big coat. I was informed that they did not have a coat check!

So it got me thinking, although Houston is not a very cold city, I feel that it should be important to offer that service when doing an event in the winter time. I cannot begin to tell you how crowded it got and having to carry a coat just added to the “cozy” but tight atmosphere.

So in retrospect if you have an event during the winter it might be a good idea to ask the facility if they can offer you a coat check person at the front. They can keep an eye on your coat and your guests can have FUN at your event instead of having to worry about where their coat is. You can check with them to see what if any are the additional rates.

Happy Planning!
