WHY DO YOU NEED AN EVENT PLANNER?

The three biggest fears people face are:

•  Public speaking
• Snakes
• Throwing a successful corporate function

Okay we may be stretching it a little on the last one, but anyone who has had to organize a corporate party, meeting or sales conference knows just how stressful it can be. It's hard work making sure everyone has fun and a meaningful experience.

We know you’ve already got a full plate so why not let us take care of your next event?

Company functions are important and rare occasions where the entire team can get together in a non-work atmosphere to have fun. It should be a rewarding and a team-building experience. It has value and that’s why you should hire a professional to organize it.

Do you remember your last corporate party, meeting, retreat or sales conference? Probably not, right? You are an executive and you know how to run your business. But, you don't necessarily know how to throw a great party or organize an event for 50-1,000 people.

Here is a list of reasons why it's better to hire an event planner:

• An event planner is usually a local business entrepreneur. They would know all the hot spots in town, no matter what city, be it Reno, Atlanta, Charlotte, Cleveland, or Houston.

• An event planner has resources and contacts that they can draw upon. You need a DJ? No problem! You need a motivational speaker? We can do that. You need a caterer or chef? We’re on it!

• An event planner has experience. They know that entertainers sometimes cancel at the last minute. What if that magician you hired really disappears the night before the office Christmas party? An event planner will have a back-up that they can call. And, if no magician is available they would be able to find the next best thing, perhaps a clown or an eighties tribute band, you get the picture, right?

• An event planner frees your time. Event planning is time consuming. The “to-do” list is endless: scouting venues, sending invitations, arranging decorations, valet parking, hotel bookings, airline bookings, providing directions. The list goes on and on.

HIRING AN EVENT PLANNER FOR YOUR NEXT COMPANY FUNCTION IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO!
