HOW TO CHOOSE AN EVENT PLANNER

Not all event planners are created equal. In fact very few are experienced, professional, and dedicated to the profession. It takes years in the industry to build up a network of reliable vendors and it takes constant diligence to keep up with current trends, new venues, and new vendors. Before hiring an event planner inquire as to their level of experience in the following:

  • Budgeting
  • Venue selection
  • Event design
  • Catering
  • Décor
  • Rentals
  • Entertainment
  • Invitations
  • Transportation
  • Accommodations
  • Staffing
  • Photography/Videography
  • AV equipment
  • Webcasting
  • Videoconferencing
  • Onsite supervision

Good, professional event planners will save you time and money. They are flexible and versatile and can provide services on an as needed basis or plan and execute your entire event. An experienced, professional event planner will be pleased to show you photos of the events that they handled and share with you their roster of clients. A corporate event planner will have had experience with a wide range of events from AGMs to fundraising galas and everything in between. Event planners are creative geniuses and logistics experts rolled into one.
