An event planner has similar duties to a wedding planner, but event planners do more than plan weddings. Event planners plan anniversary celebrations, corporate events, fundraisers, parties, award ceremonies, and more. Here’s a short list of a few things that an event planner would take care of for a client: Find the event space - We all know just how much of a process it is to find a venue for an event. Hiring an event planner will alleviate the stress of trying to find a venue because they will take care of making all the calls and getting prices. The client’s only job will be picking their favorite venue from the list the event planner compiles. Find catering for the event - Not every event will require catering, but for the ones that do, the event planner will figure out what company has the best prices for the kind of food the client wants. This again is one less calling task that the client needs to worry about while planning their event. Send invites to the guests - For any clients who want physical invites the event planner will put them in envelopes and send them out. Order the decorations - Once the client tells the event planner what they want for decorations, the event planner will search for decorations and get approval from the client before buying them. This allows the client to focus on other tasks for their upcoming event, while the event planner takes care of the “behind the scenes” details. Help set up for the event - The event planner will ensure the vision the client has for their event is made a reality. All the moving parts will be brought together for the event with the event planner directing people to where they need to be.
