Do I really need an Event Planner?

If I had a nickel for the number of times I've heard this question!!!!

Let's ask a few questions and see if you need an event planner for your next engagement.

1) Do you have a job that allows you freedom to come and go as you please during business hours?

2) Do you have at least 2 hours per day to dedicate solely to the planning, organizing, and logistics of your event?

3) Do you want to deal with the stresses of coordinating with caterers, photographers, venues, and other necessary vendors?

4) Do you want to be busy, busy, busy, during the planning phases and not be able to ENJOY the event when it finally arrives?

If you answered NO, to ANY of these questions....then yes, my dear You Really do Need an Event Planner!

Event Planners, Consultants, and Coordinators come in all different facets. From the over the top, full service, you sit down, I do everything Planner, to the Directress who will come in on the day of your event and "Direct" the show!

Event Planners are a necessary investment for any event, no matter how big or small. They can curtail unforeseen events the the average host or hostess would have no clue would happen. They can offer bits of advice that can help you during the planning process. They can also share with you tips and tricks of the trade that can save you money and time on the front end and the back end.

For example, you are searching for a venue for a Retirement Party. Planning on your own would cost your hours of research time, calling time to call and inquire about the venue, driving time to visit these venues, and headache from when you are stressed from not finding the PERFECT venue at try #1. Using an event planner will cut down on this time and cost, especially with increasing gas prices!

Hiring the assistance and expertise of an Event Planner or Event Management Firm will allow you a peace of mind that everything will run smoothly and you can enjoy your function along with your guests. Event Planners are not a luxury for those who have disposable dollars. Event planners are a necessity for anyone planning an event and needs the expertise of an experienced professional in the industry.

When you are creating your budget for your next event, remember the Event Planner. That small investment, can save you a lot of time!
