Company Anniversary — Tapa

Most company anniversaries fall in spring or late autumn, which in Tapa means indoor venues and a heating bill that changes the maths fast. The number that moves quickest is guest count — eighty people and a hundred and twenty people need different rooms, and the room drives the rest. Sound and light scale with the space, not the occasion.

Decide early whether you want a seated dinner or a standing reception. One needs tables, the other needs flow and somewhere to put a coat. Both are defensible; the mistake is changing your mind three weeks out when the venue is booked and the deposit is gone.
