In the event industry, planning services come in various forms. For example, you may be familiar with titles such as “coordinator”, “planner”, “producer”, or “designer”, but as a first-time host, it may be challenging to see what sets each planner and business apart.
We are confident that as you take the time to meet with the planners you’re interested in hiring, that these 10 critical questions will help you better understand the scope of services and level of care you’ll receive from each business throughout the planning process.
So without further ado, here are the 10 Questions to Ask When Hiring an Event Planner.
- How many events do you produce a year?
- Will you serve more than one event per weekend?
- What is the planning process we will follow?
- How many hours will your team serve this project?
- Do you use an event management system?
- Will you manage our budget?
- Will you design our event?
- How many people from your team will serve on the day of the event?
- What determines which vendors are on your preferred partners list?
- What characteristics do you look for in an ideal client?
