Party Planner: Things to Follow When Hiring One

By Clinton Nikenya


You will not need the services of a party planner if you're throwing a small party, or if you cannot afford to hire one. Nevertheless, if you're throwing a big party, then you need a professional planner because it requires a lot of orchestrating. In this situation, you've got to adjust your budget.

Many have different reasons why they don't make use of professional planners for corporate functions and weddings. The popular reason is usually the hiring costs. Professional planners aren't as expensive as many folks think. In fact, they offer discounts and special deals. The purpose of this incentive is to attract folk, but they're stack to their old mindset.

If you are not an organized person, you need to consider hiring one. They will plan the event and ensure that the party goes down as planned. By doing that, they cut back your stress by half. But you've got to hire a good planner before starting reaping the benefits. Depending on the type of event you want, here are some tips that'll guide you when hiring one:

1. Decide on the sort of party you wish to throw and other needs in terms of entertainment, equipment and catering. The planner should be informed of the theme, number of guests and friends, date and time of the party. After you've given him the fundamentals, proceed to ask if he/she can organise that party according to your requirements.

2. You have got to get the necessary details about them if you do not want to be involved. For example, you'll check out for any references from former employers. They must have licenses and insurance before you entrust them with the job. You will ask for an opinion from the people he or she worked for.

3. Take some time before hiring one. You should interview many planners before you make a decision to hire one. You can judge them from their past accomplishments. In the process of interviewing them, you'll get the perfect party planner for your party.

4. Ask for an opinion from the planner. The planner should give you his suggestion and warn you if he thinks that what you are planning is not practical.

5. When you get a professional planner, ask him to give you a summary of what he/she will do. Let them tell you the role you will play.

6. The most important thing is to sign a contract. The contract should clearly state every aspect of the services to be provided by the planner, like equipment rentals, procuring entertainment, menu planning and organization.

If you'll need a professional party planner, don't hesitate to hire one. You should approach the planner in advance so that he or she will get plenty of time to plan the party. The party will be more successful only if the planner makes proper preparations. If you are going to hire one, follow the guidelines stated above.
