How to Choose an Event Planner
2
  • Be it on a large scale or small, corporate events
    are much looked upon and you have to emphatically
    make sure that whatever the event may be, it
    should emerge as a huge success. Planning an
    event needs various degrees of skillsets and if
    not implemented properly, you may end up going
    over budget with dissatisfactory arrangements at
    the same time. So its better that you dont
    experiment and transfer the burden to the
    experts, The Event Planners.
  • An event planner, also known as event organiser
    or consultant, is a professional who takes in
    charge of planning, coordinating and organising
    events. Usually for corporate events, you can
    hire an event planning firm that has prior
    experience in the area. If you are able to hire
    the right event planner, you will be a successful
    host of an event that achieves the goal and
    exceeds the expectations!

 Do an exhaustive research on various kinds of
event planners available at your service
  • Call the local service providers, search over the
    internet and enquire through word of mouth. Get a
    list of different event planners around you who
    have an experience in organising corporate
    events. Look out on their websites, social media
    outreach and their engagement. Do you find them
    exciting? Usually, event organisers with a great
    track record have amazing websites and engagement
    on the internet. They are innovative and use a
    lot of visual stimulus and creative content.
    Their online presence is a great source of
    attracting prospective customers.

How much power do you want to delegate?
  • Depending upon the kind of event that you are
    planning, you can always choose whether to share
    the burden or simply hand over the entire
    responsibility to the event planners. Sharing the
    burden means, you may want to be the decision
    maker and let the professionals execute it for
    you. An event planner can always be flexible to
    your requirements and serve as an assistant. If
    you are planning to unburden yourself completely,
    the event planning team can work on managing
    everything, from budgeting to on-site supervision.

Is the event planner specialised in organising
these kinds of events?
  • Make sure that the professionals that you hire,
    have good, or at least some experience in
    organising the kind of event you are planning to
    host. Many event organisers may be experts in
    organising other events, yet not the one that you
    are looking for. Consider this as irrelevant
    unless they are really supers-shot and hold an
    impeccable track record.

6
Look for happy customers they've served so far
  • Ask for references when choosing an event
    planner. Go for trusted references, their
    previous works and client reviews to understand
    how they work. This is highly recommended if you
    are unfamiliar with them. Check with the previous
    companies who hired them for the event management
    service. Ask few important questions such as
  • How professional were they?
  • Were they up to the standards as promised?
  • Did they communicate well?
  • How details oriented were they?

7
How can the event planners get it done within
your budget?
  • Many event planners have good connections with
    restaurants, photographers, caterers and other
    vendors. So obviously, these precious connections
    are worth many discounts! You may find it
    unbelievable, but you can actually get a lot of
    discounts from vendors if channelized through the
    event planners. Infact, if you are unsure about
    the venue, they might arrange one for you in a
    very less budget. Make sure that you discuss it
    with them and set the right expectation about the
    budget.
