Why Hire an Event Planner

As event planners, we constantly talk and listen to prospective clients about event-planning and the services we offer, and the perfect vision and desired outcome of the client’s event.

I truly believe that there is a planning service for everyone. Event planners take on many roles – from designers and logistic coordinators, to talent managers, vendor brokers, financial advisers, agreement advisers, and even, yes, bridal therapists.

Here are a few reasons to hire an event planner:

1. You have a heavy work or school schedule and you have little or no time to plan your wedding or special event.

2. You are planning an event from a great distance from your venue, or you will have more than 200 guests attending.

3. You are not a “detail person” and need assistance with the logistics and the development and creation of your vision.

4. You are getting hitched in less than a year.

5. You are on a budget, and need to make sure that you don’t make costly mistakes.

Different package options – these are estimates only. We customize each package to work with our clients’ budgets and needs.

1. Full Service Planning: A skilled planner will handle everything from venue recommendations, design, logistics, transportation, vendor recommendations/selections, communication with vendors, RSVPs, arranging the weekend activities, and event-day support from start to finish. This package is not needed by everyone, but can be helpful for busy individuals who have a large event with little or no time to plan. Packages are $20,000 and up and you can rest and be assured that ALL details are covered.

2. Medium Packages – The planner handles the logistics, event professional recommendations, transportation, design, hotel-room blocks, appointment-setting, RSVPs, phone and email support, communication with event professionals, logistical and design walk-through meetings, creating the invite along with the logistic / design for review with event-day support. Packages start at $15,000 and up.
