Hey everyone! It’s Raquel from Raquel John Events, and today I’m taking you behind the scenes of Flow Fest 2024. It’s been an incredible journey leading up to this day, and now that the festival is in full swing, I want to give you a peek at what went into pulling it all together. Plus, I’ll be sharing some tips for fellow event planners that can help you create an unforgettable experience for your guests!
The Final Touches – The Morning of Flow Fest
We arrived bright and early to put the finishing touches on everything for Flow Fest 2024. It’s amazing to see months of planning come together, and while the event may seem effortless to attendees, there’s a ton of work happening behind the scenes to make sure everything runs smoothly.
Here’s a glimpse at some of the final details:
• Stage Design That Pops: The stage is where all the action happens, so it had to look amazing! We went for a vibrant, high-energy design that made sure the performers and speakers were the center of attention. With colorful lighting and a bold backdrop, the stage really set the tone for the entire festival.
• Interactive Photo Booths: One thing we knew our guests would love? Photo booths! These weren’t just any photo booths though—we designed them to reflect the fun and creative spirit of Flow Fest. Attendees could snap pics with their friends, use themed props, and share their photos instantly on social media. It was a big hit and added a fun, interactive element to the event.
Event Planning Tips for Fellow Planners
Whether you’re planning a large-scale festival or a more intimate gathering, there are a few things we’ve learned over the years that can make your event day run smoothly. Here are some of my top tips:
1. Start Planning Early
Getting a head start on planning is key to a successful event. According to industry research, 48% of event planners start planning their events six to twelve months in advance to ensure they have enough time to fine-tune details and handle unexpected changes.

Effective vendor coordination is one of the biggest challenges for event planners, with 50% of planners identifying vendor management as a key area of focus. Clear communication and establishing expectations early can prevent last-minute issues.
3. Always Have a Backup Plan
Flexibility is important in event planning, as 66% of event planners report having contingency plans in place for unexpected situations like weather changes or technical difficulties.
4. Teamwork is Essential
A cohesive team makes a big difference on event day. In fact, 85% of successful event organizers attribute their success to effective team collaboration and communication .
At Raquel John Events, we always aim to create experiences that leave a lasting impression. For Flow Fest, we wanted people to walk away feeling like they’d been part of something special. From live performances to the food and photo booths, every detail was designed to keep guests entertained and engaged.
The energy at Flow Fest was electric, and it’s all thanks to the planning, teamwork, and attention to detail that went into the event. Our goal is always to make sure our guests feel welcomed, energized, and like they’re part of something bigger.
