Why Should You Hire An Event Planner?

With all the information and resources available online, it’s common for people to ask, “Why should I hire someone to plan this event for me?” The Finer Details previously featured a post on why accreditation matters in the event industry, but here are three key reasons why you should put that designation to use for your own events.

Method vs. Madness

All events have similar elements regardless of what type of event you are hosting. An event planner creates a system for identifying and implementing those elements for EVERY type of event. Instead of dealing with issues as they come up, an event planner is always looking ahead to make sure all of your bases are covered before you even think about getting there.

Working a Network

In Vancouver’s tight-knit event industry, chances are, your planner has a wealth of contacts that span through all industry sectors. They already have existing relationships with top vendors throughout the city and know whom to approach to deliver an exceptional experience for your guests; from city engineers to fine dining, they know the system and hot to navigate through it.

Execution Experience

It’s the day of your event. Are you mingling with guests or running around making sure everything happens as planned? By hiring a professional event planner, you aren’t just getting someone who has experience implementing all of your ideas, you get a chance to sit back and enjoy the actual event.

In the end, the question you should be asking yourself is, “Why wouldn’t I hire an event planner?”
