FAQ about hiring an Event Planner
An event planner will help coordinate various aspects of all types of events such as anniversary parties, fundraisers, or corporate events – from the large show-stopping moments down to the intricate details. Whether it’s an intimate dinner party or a week-long conference, an event planner will help ensure that you stay within budget and everything goes as smoothly as possible. They will meet with you to hear your ideas and goals for your event and help hire the right entertainment and event service providers, and even coordinate the day of the event.
On average, a professional event planner costs $600-$1200. The exact price will vary depending on your location, the type and size of the event, the services they offer, the complexity of the planning, and their experience. Hiring an event planner to manage your event from start to finish will cost more than hiring a planner to only assist with the planning or day-of coordinating.
Event Planners offer an array of services. They will help hire vendors for your event such as caterers, decorators, and waitstaff, help secure a venue, and even coordinate and be the point of contact for vendors on the day of your event. What services your event planner provides will depend on the needs of your event and how far along you are in the event planning process.
A professional event planner will have connections in the industry and be able to hire reputable vendors while negotiating the best prices and terms. They will also help alleviate the stress and worry of planning an event by coordinating all the details, saving you time and money, and leaving you to relax and enjoy your event.
They may, but that is usually up to the client. If you want to have someone there during the event to coordinate and be the contact person for vendors then it may be a good idea to discuss having a day-of coordinator with your event planner.
While it depends on the size and nature of your event, it’s always recommended to begin the planning process as early as possible. The sooner you are able to hand the reins to an event planner the more likely they will be able to secure the best venue and service providers in your area.
A wedding planner is an event planner who specializes in planning weddings.
