The contact with Ralf for the planning, as well as the organization and execution of the event were to my complete satisfaction. Ralf provided good and goal-oriented information, was present everywhere on site, approachable and friendly.
The procedure was carried out as agreed in advance and thus also met our expectations.
Why the critical review?
In most cases, you can only judge the pricing of an event once you have experienced it. If you take a closer look at the pricing of the event partners involved, I find the costing to be overpriced in retrospect.
The organizer has enough of the per capita flat rate for his own expenses: 5 hours on site, organizing snacks, arrival + departure, as well as the effort for the organization with the partners, I would still classify these costs as acceptable.
What I can no longer understand with such a margin, however, is a not insignificant additional lump sum.
In my opinion, the event is not complicated to organize and, apart from the snack, can be set up without an event provider with just a few phone calls.
I had really expected a lot more from the meal at the winegrower's beforehand. In the end, it was a "normal" meal - which was well prepared and served - in a wine bar. For the price, I would have assumed that they would not just put 3 bottles of the house Riesling on the table.
The offer mentioned wine tasting as well as wines to accompany the meal, so it was not entirely clear in advance what we could expect.
It would have been nice if the winegrower had presented 4-5 Moselle wines. Unfortunately, bottles of water were not included in the price and had to be paid for separately.
In addition, there are very unfavorable cancellation conditions for company events. With larger groups, there are always cancellations at short notice and it is difficult to plan the number of people precisely. The event partners have little loss due to 1-2 people more / less, so that I consider the 14-day lead time to charge 80% of the price in the event of cancellations to be very disadvantageous for the contractor.
Conclusion: Communication, organization and execution were carried out professionally and smoothly. The finale at the winegrower's was rather disappointing in terms of content and the event as a whole was ultimately overpriced for us. The costs and terms and conditions were of course communicated transparently and known in advance. However, as mentioned at the beginning, events can only be properly assessed retrospectively.
