Planning as such is a part and parcel of our life, but event planning
is a different ball game because event planning is all about taking
care of every single detail which starts from concept and ends at
event’s grand finale. Only undivided attention from you as an event
planner will make your event a success story. As a planner you have to
take care of the venue, create invitations and guest lists, catering,
transportation, gifts, in fact the list is quite long and unending.
Hence, it makes sense to hire an event planner and coordinator.
The basic objective of the event planner
is to know the purpose of the event and as a planner what they can
contribute in to it. Always remember they closely work with their
clients, which means you will be in the loop throughout. They work in a
highly organized and systematic way. As a planner they make it a point
to understand the complete requirements of the clients and discuss
everything in detail, like; location, dates, purpose of the event,
number of guests, what about the transportation, catering, gifts, and
lodging etc. In fact the success of the events entirely depends upon the
planner.
This
is why while hiring someone, make sure that he/ she should posses
certain qualities like; cool, calm and collected under pressure, has a
fine sense of timing and budget management and the most important thing
he/she should understand the true meaning of deadline. Generally people
claim that they are the best in the business, but it makes sense to
cross check the facts. In fact event management companies are all over
the place, which means finding an event planner is not an issue. The
real issue is whether he/she is capable of pulling it or not, hence
cross checking the facts makes sense.
A seasoned event planner
generally also works as a coordinator. But the basic difference between
a planner and coordinator is that as an event coordinator, it is their
duty to see to it that the event is going according to the plan. In
another word, they are the people who ultimately make your event a
success story. Only correct and detailed planning is nothing, if it is
not well coordinated. This is the reason why events coordinator is in
demand. Events coordinator
is also famous for fixing things at the last moment and the beauty is
that nobody will notice it. In a nutshell event planner is the guy who
will be doing the most of the planning and on the other hand event
coordinator is the executor of the plan.
