You have an event to plan and you say, “I can do this myself! All I need to do is find a venue, cater, entertainment, photographer and BOOM! My event is going to be awesome!”
While I’m sure your event will raise the roof, planning the event may also raise your blood pressure! I am not trying to rain on your parade, or whatever type of event you’re planning. Yet, I want to ask you a few questions which may change your mind about hiring a professional to help!
VENUE
What type of venue best fits your event?
What is the best location for everyone invited?
Do they have packages to fit your budget?
How many guests can the venue accommodate?
Do they have free parking? If not, where can your guests park?
Do they include lighting? Or is it extra?
What type of insurance do they require your vendors carry?
CATERER
What type of cuisine best fits your event?
Will your caterer accommodate guests with allergies?
Have you researched their reviews?
Do they serve your area?
Are they available for your event date?
ENTERTAINMENT
What type of entertainment best fits your event? DJ, band, instruments, magician, aerialist, or other artists?
What are their reviews?
What type of space do they need to perform?
Can they provide sound for the number of guests you expect, or do you need to hire a sound company?
Do they MC your event as well?
Do they have any load in or set up needs?
Is a deposit required? When is the final payment due?
Are there travel costs involved?
Does their pricing include lighting or staging?
Do they specialize in a certain style?
What is the lead time for the final images?
How are the photos delivered?
Is an album included?
How easy is it for you to share the photos with your friends and family? Do they provide a link to an online gallery? If so, is the gallery public, or private?
