Choosing an Event Planner
You’ve got a big event coming up……corporate party, wedding,
fundraiser, holiday party, etc. Your customers, friends, and/or family will be
in attendance so it has to be PERFECT! But where to start?!
Start by looking for an event planner that can guide you
through the process and make the planning more fun and less stress. Who can’t
use more fun and less stress right! So what do you actually need to look for in
an event planner to make sure your party is a success? As always, the better
your questions are, the better your answers will be.
So, here are four questions to ask when hiring an event
planner:
Who are your partners and vendors?
An event planner has a contact (or more than one!) for just
about everything. From lighting to décor to entertainment to catering, the
vendors they recommend have been tried and tested. Vendors that don’t perform
well won’t be recommended for your event.
What is your experience in event planning?
A strong background in knowledge and experience is a make or
break kind of thing. The planners should understand the latest trends, the hot
colors, budget-saving secrets and details that you may not be aware of! Take
advantage of it!
What type of events do you plan?
Event
planning encompasses many different areas, including corporate meetings,
seminars, lunch-and-learns, birthday parties, weddings, etc. Some event
planners focus on one specific area. Ask for some examples of events the
company has recently planned that highlight their skills.

Client
references provide insight into how people appraise the planner’s service. Word
of mouth is the best marketing after all!

Yeah finding a reliable event planner is bit difficult nowadays. My friend shared with me that his planner made his wedding arrangements worst on wedding day. So, I had finalized a wedding planner for arrangements at party venue nyc after proper searching and I had asked him lots of questions too that you have mentioned. Thanks for great help.
I feel there is a huge difference in choosing a planner and choosing a “Right” event planner. I always prefer an experienced planner for all my family and occasional parties. Well I will follow these tips in future.
