You have a party to plan. First thing
you do is go on Pinterest and pin all these amazing ideas. You now have 50
different things that you are going to do yourself. Who needs an event planner
when Pinterest is there to hold your hand? Then comes the time when you
actually have to make all these bright ideas into a reality. Two hours later
and you don’t have the masterpiece you were expecting. Instead you are left
with something you can easily find on pinterestfail.com. Queue
the freak out.
What was once thought of as a luxury, hiring an event
planner has now become a necessity for our busy lives. The typical wedding and
social event requires around 200 hours of planning. Finding time to fit them
all into an already jam-packed schedule can be close to impossible. That is
where event planners come in. 80% of North American couples now use the
expertise of event planners when planning their wedding because they know if
they want their event to go off without a hitch, they are going to need some
help.
Still not sure if event planners are worth that extra
expense? Here are 5 of the best reasons why:
1. You’ll Save Time
As mentioned above, planning an event can really turn into
a full time job and most people just don’t have the time to commit to it.
Instead of having to meet with 10 different photographers for example, your
event planner can just shortlist it for you to the best for your budget. She
will already have done all the preliminary homework and interviews, pricing
will have been negotiated and the concept will have been discussed. You just
need to go in to confirm it’s a match and sign the contract. Simple as pie.
2. You'll Save Money
Yes you read that right, you will save money. You may not expect
that this would be possible since you are spending extra for the service, but
it's true. After the first consultation meeting when the budget is decided, the
event planner will then source the best vendors possible and will get you the
best price. Vendors are more likely to give an event planner a good price in
hopes of getting recurring business.
3. You'll Have a Great Looking Event
What makes a successful event? When people leave and can't stop
talking about how beautiful it was and how much fun they had. The look and feel
is essential and by hiring event planners, you gain the creative design
expertise that will push your event from being ordinary to extraordinary.
4. You Will Have Qualified People
Doing Good Work
Your event planner will know the best vendors to refer to you.
You won't have to worry about a vendor providing work that is just not up to
your standards. Every vendor that is referred to you will have been tried and
tested by the event planner so you can feel confident in your decision.
5. You Will Get to Party
The number one rule with any event is to
expect the unexpected. Something will most likely go wrong and you may have no
clue have to deal with it. Chances are the event planner will have seen it all
before and will put a solution into action before anyone even notices something
is wrong. That leaves you time to just enjoy the party and forget about all the
tiny details that make the party a success. So go ahead, kick off your shoes
and dance the night away.

you want an event planner to handle the whole thing, need help with just the
finishing touches and the day of the event or simply need assistance with some
aspects of the planning, having an event planner to guide you is essential.
