Frequently Asked Questions…
What does an event planner do?
An event planner tailors events to individual clients based on his/her needs and wants. From finding the perfect place, to negotiating contracts, to making sure the flowers are the right colors. Anything that needs to be done to throw a party or put on a high-class function is taken care of by the event planner. Event planners can also be requested to be at the event, to put out the little fires, and take care of any day-of problems. This way, the client can be a guest at his/her own party.
Why should I hire an planner?
A good planner will save you more than her fee. You’re the center of attention so you should enjoy it. Part of enjoying your event and the planning time leading up to it is having an experienced person take the burden off of you while you still make all of the decisions.
When’s a good time to hire a planner?
As soon as you engaged or decide to have an event so you can benefit from her expertise at every stage of planning.
Why so early?
She’ll help you negotiate contracts, help you create a realistic timeline and maximize your budget. The more time you have, the more money she can save you.
Why should I hire an event planner?
The main reason people hire event planners is to save time and money. Instead of doing research on different caterers, florists, entertainers, etc, and interviewing them, then finding out that they are out of your budget, or don’t provide what you are looking for, an event planner does it all. It saves time, money, and headache. We know what vendors can provide. All we need is to know what you want, and we’ll get it done.
Do I still have creative control if I hire an event planner? Absolutely. An event planner doesn’t tell you what kind of event to put on, you tell the planner. You decide what you want, what you like, and let the planner make it happen.
What if I don’t know what I want?
Hiring an event planner will help you figure out what you want. We can give you ideas based on experience, and help you brainstorm. We will walk you through your entire event, show you pieces from other events, and guide you to make decisions before signing any contracts.
