Top Ten Reasons Why You Should Hire An Event Plannerxml

1.  Reduce Stress

Planning your own event can be a stressful affair.  By hiring an event planner, you can describe your vision for an event and the event planner creates it without the stress of phone calls, emails and countless questions from vendors and guests.  Event planners are paid to be organized and focused on your event.  Where work, family, and friends are your first priority; your event is our first priority.

2.  Cost Effective

Because event planners are continually planning events, we have many strong relationships with vendors.  We provide vendors who work well with your budget, theme and needs.  Because we work with vendors that we know and trust, we can negotiate the best rate for your event.  At the same time, these vendors enjoy working with us, so their prices are dramatically lower than if a client cold-called the vendor.

3.  Creativity

It is part of an event planners job to stay on top of the latest trends in the event planning industry.  We have to brainstorm daily to create the best events for our clients.  You may have different ideas about your event in mind, but cannot find a way to create a cohesive theme.  Event planners are creative professionals who address situations like these.  Rather than get frustrated with a theme, hire an event planner to turn your ideas into a successful event.

4.  On-Site Coordination

Event planners save a lot of time and frustration during your event and days before.  After all, it is your event, you should enjoy it.  If you are planning an event in a different state or city from where you are located, the event planner is responsible for on-site event coordination with the venue.  This saves you a lot of travel time and meaningless visits to an event site.

5.  Insurance

Event planners act as insurance for your event.  Hiring an event planner is a great way to guarantee that the event will be a huge success.  We are hired to keep clients on budget, on schedule and on task.  We make sure all guests are having a great time and keep any potential event problems out of sight to you and your guests.

6.  Time Saver

Why waste your time in front of the computer searching for the best venues, centerpieces, linen rental, etc. when you could hire an event planner who has all of these connections.  Rather than over-booking your already busy schedule, event planners schedule appointments, gather directions, take notes and stay organized.  Hiring an event planner will minimize the amount of time spent on creating a spectacular event.

7.  Buffer

Planning an event can be an emotional whirlwind.  Vendors may argue, guests may be grumpy and pressure to make the event a grand success might drive you to drink.  Event planners act as a buffer to all complaints and unhappy moments.  Also, we are the willing scapegoats who accept blame for any and all instances.  Since an event planner is an unbiased party, when an agreement cannot be made, event planners step in with their professional opinion to provide a simple solution.

8.  Experience

Event planners have seen it all.  In all our years of experience, we can confidently handle anything and everything thrown our way.  We are well prepared to handle any issue that may arise.  By hiring a professional event planner, you can guarantee that your event is exactly what you envisioned.  From last minute cancellations, to over booking the guest list; event planners are prepared to solve each issue with grace and professionalism.

9.  Maintain Budget

It can be easy to go over budget when vendors know you are inexperienced with planning pricing.  An experienced event planner will maintain the budget to make sure all money is spent wisely and will create the best event possible.

10.  Contract Negotiation

Negotiating contracts can be arduous task but is very beneficial when working with a specific budget and requests.  Event planners have a lot of experience negotiating with vendors to get the best possible rate for the client.
