Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a professional coordinator/planner?
Your event planner provides peace of mind so the plans you’ve been making for your event become a reality. The planner can assist in designing your event so that it is organized and flowing, as well as magical, uniquely yours and forever memorable. In addition, an excellent planner will help you save time and money because of their resources & extensive vendor contacts to match your style and budget.
What’s more, an event planner will guide and support you when the planning process becomes stressful. An experienced planner will have proven advice relating to all types of planning issues.
How can I tell if a consultant is reputable?
As wedding receptions & large scale parties are becoming increasingly extravagant or located in destination resorts more and more individuals are looking to hire a professional coordinator/consultant to assist them in planning their event. While it is true that a professional planner can be extremely useful and help to eliminate or minimize the stress of planning an event, it is important to remember that this will only happen if you hire a qualified and capable planner who understands your needs and listens to you about your expectations. The event planning business is becoming a very popular home business. Event coordinators who are new to the business and present themselves as qualified to plan an event are increasing. Take time to interview potential planners and local vendors. Look for experienced planners for your once in a lifetime event.
The Location I have chosen has an on-site coordinator. Why do I need someone else?
Most banquet facilities have staff, that in addition to other duties, also act as wedding/event coordinators. Their main concern of course is making sure everything their property is responsible for is taken care of. Most of them are extremely professional and experienced. However, some locations have multiple events going on at the same time. If personal attention is important to you, then hiring a professional consultant to attend to only your needs, from the ceremony site to the reception is a desired choice. Your location site may not have the staff to handle small emergencies that might make a big difference, and of course sometimes staff changes over and you may be left with someone who has not been involved with your event from start to finish.
