The Melbourne Cup Carnival is one of those events that brings the whole of Australia together with everyone on the edge of their seats. Hosting a Melbourne Cup event requires high quality video equipment such as TV screens or projectors as well as a synchronised sound and video setup. This guide will provide you with everything you need to know about hosting a Melbourne Cup event.

Decide the venue for your event

Deciding a venue for your Melbourne Cup celebrations depends on your budget, the number of people attending the event, and your business. Outlining a guestlist will give the best idea of the appropriate venue and equipment. For larger events you may need to consider the logistics of multiple screens as well as synchronising video and audio.

If you are willing to settle on a local establishment, then it is essential for you to think about what you want to organise. Whether you are looking for a private room for the event or joining in to have fun at the venue. Having a homely space will allow your guests to view comfortably, which allows you to put everything together and have fun. Creative styling makes the whole event memorable and helps everyone to enjoy the day.

Styling inspired by the Melbourne Cup

This time could be your chance to host one of the most extravagant parties of the year. If you are thinking about using a race carnival theme at your event, then adding a lot of bright banners and coloured carpets will give you the look that you’re after.

Live broadcasting of the race

The Melbourne Cup can go by very quickly, so it is of the utmost importance that you can view the race clearly, in high definition. Wherever you host the party, make sure there is a large screen that is visible to everyone around you so that your guests are not gasping for views. If you are planning on using multiple screens it is also important to consider synchronisation of sound and audio so that the race can be heard and viewed clearly. Screaming for a horse is next-level excitement, so allow everyone to enjoy the event to the fullest.

Get dressed up

The Melbourne Cup is not only limited to just horse racing. It is also about fashion. The whole of Melbourne gets glammed up for such a glamorous event. Simultaneously you can host a mini fashion show.

Good food and drinks

No matter what you want, either a cocktail party or a sit-down lunch, food always comes in. Any event is incomplete without food. Adding a handful of snack and drink choices is the cherry on top. Your guests will be very thankful too. Depending on the venue and your guest list for the party, you should also consider a catering service.

Summing it up

The Melbourne Cup is an extravagant and exciting event for all. But planning things accordingly can help you successfully host the event. We hope you have gathered valuable insights from this article.
