Onn Rapeika When planning an event as important as a wedding, anniversary party, bar mitzvah or bat mitzvah, reunion or special birthday party, the host can find creative, fresh ideas and more importantly some piece of mind, by hiring a wedding and event planner or coordinator. Most event planners and coordinators offer a variety of services and packages that can be tailored to fit the client’s needs. Many professionals offer month and day of coordination packages.
Hiring a wedding and event planner proves to save the host/hostess valuable time and money. The vendor research is done for the client by the wedding and event planner - saving the client hours of their own time and wasted money driving around to meet with a vast array of different vendors in hope to find the ones who will give them the most bangs for their buck. The planner has already done all that for you and can suggest vendors that are reputable and can provide what you desire within your budget!
A good planner also should be an expert on proper etiquette, traditional practices, as well as modern trends. The event coordinator should also be creative and personalize the event to create a unique experience for client as well as their guests and can offer suggestions that the client may not have even thought of. For example - a couple getting married who share a love and passion for animals may consider having their ceremony and/or reception at either the Cleveland or Akron Zoo's! Event planners that specialize in venues that are unique and different will provide an experience, not just another ordinary event.
Wedding and event planners have relationships with relevant vendors and can offer advice to clients regarding whom vendors will fit their desires and price points. As professionals, they are not only a specialist when it comes to events in their organized and creative ways, but are also budgeting gurus. Providing the basic budget breakdown and then assisting the client in 'tweaking' the budget to make it fit within the clients tastes and needs is another invaluable service.
As one gets further into their own planning process, it is not uncommon to become overwhelmed, feel a great amount of stress, and to suddenly begin to realize just how much work is involved in creating the event they truly dream of. My advice would be to contact a Planner who is local to the area (they know the local venues and vendors best), can provide that specialized service to provide an 'experience' rather than an ordinary event, and gives off a good vibe to the customer.
