To some people, hiring an event-planner just means adding another expense to an already expensive day. But to others, hiring an event- planner means saving time and money.
No matter what it means to you, hiring an event-planner may just be the wisest decision you take about your event.
In Nigeria, Lots of people don't believe in hiring professional event-planners. They feel that their family can very easily do all that which they would "waste" money paying an event planner for. They have this notion that event-planners are really expensive. But i have good-news for you, there are now a lot of event-planners to choose from in the industry now, and most of them are suprisingly cheap. Just do your research well, and you will find one which fits your budget.
Lots of brides and mothers (In the case of kiddies parties) are in the working-class, and may not have the time to do the planning themselves, and end up leaving one thing or the other out. Some get sooo stressed out that they decide to rush everything and the event ends up being scattered and disorganized. In this case, event-planners are indeed a necessity.
Choose an event planner, relay to him/her what your dreams/desires are, and i assure you, you will not regret it, unless its a case where u contract one who doesn't know his/her onions.
SO WHY SHOULD YOU BUDGET FOR AN EVENT-PLANNER?
Well, if you want your big day to go hicth-free, then, you should.
If you dont want to worry about anything at all, like the venue decorators finishing on time, or the cake arriving safely and on time, or the band messing up terribly, or your guests being comfortable and having food to eat, or even the loo being clean enough for your guests, or your drinks being chilled and other numerous things that could go wrong, then, you should infact budget for a proffessional planner.
If you want to relax and thoroughly enjoy your day, then believe me, you should budget oh!.
Well, finally, event planners can get you discounts from vendors, which you couldn't have possibly gotten yourself. This is possible because event-planners have a kind of 'networking-system'. They also know the right vendors to meet.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN AN EVENT PLANNER
Look for an outfit that pays attention to even minute details. Doing so will make them leave no room for mistakes.
Often times, its good to try up-coming event-planners because the passion and zeal to excel is still fresh in them, and you will be lucky enough to get the best out of them.
Look for planners that respect their 'name' and wouldn't want to tarnish it. Let's face it, some planners do not care, as long as they will get paid. They dont care what happens after the event. They fail to see the big-picture, that if the co-ordination was good or bad, people will eventually want to know who planned the event. They forget that 'word-of-mouth' is necessary in advertising.
Look for planners that geniunely care about their clients, it shows that they'll go the extra mile for you, even if it means tapping into their own profit.
So, what am i saying?
I'm trying to urge u into taking a decision you wont regret. Lol!
OUT!
