South Florida Event Planning Company Specialization
Specialization: Assuming that you already know the type of event you want to have, your first task is to find an Event Planning company or individual who specializes in that sort of event. You may not want the team of folks who planned the company trip to the football game to take on the task of planning your wedding. Just as clearly, you may not want an established wedding Event Planner to take charge of your company’s trip to the big game! you have your own special desires, and most Event Planners have their own specialty.
South Florida Event Planner Organization Skills
Organization: The success of your event will be determined by the small things. The proper handling of the Details of your event will set this moment or event apart from others that your guests have taken part in. A company or individual must be able to be organized and detailed in their approach to your event, and in the way that they meet your needs. Sure, the fireworks and the huge ice sculpture are fantastic and will be remembered, but the yellow rose on your mother-in-law’s table setting, or the one purple balloon amongst the hundreds of white ones, is what will make your entire event Memorable!
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION: Just as in any Real Estate market, another important decision that you need to make is location. Do you want to hold the event in a school, a museum, a hotel, a conference room, your own home? Or do you desire an outdoor location such as the beach, a yacht, a local park, or in the back yard of a mansion? Please see venues we have previously served.
That decision is yours, but when selecting any Florida Event Planner, make sure to include them in your thought process, and have them walk you through past events they have organized in each of the location options. They should be able to answer questions such as: Do they have access to the location you desire? Is a permit required for that location? Do the owners of the property have to grant access to the location? Are there limited hours or dates for a location?
Florida Event Planner Must Have Skills
People Skills: The main point of contact for any Florida Event Planner is the customer. With that being said, one would expect the planner to be on their “best behavior” when dealing with that customer. Polite, knowledgeable, able to express his or her thoughts clearly and concisely, the ability to adapt to changing needs. You should be able to gather that information in conversations that you have with the planner, however, it is also a good idea to speak with some of the past clients with whom the Event Planner has partnered. Ask the Florida Event Planner to provide you with a list of past customers so that you can determine: Did the planner become stressed out and lose control, or were they able to “roll with the flow”? Did they treat the vendors and customers in a manner which was professional and courteous?
Flexibility / Adaptability: After you have finalized the Where, What and When of your event, you should ask a prospective Event Planner for details on their history of handling events where there were last minute changes, or where flexibility was necessary. We all know that things don’t always go as planned, and the bigger the event, the more things can change! How did the planner adapt? Was the Planner able to stay within your budget? Was there a price difference due to the changes? Did the Event Planner communicate changes as they occurred? Great Performance Under Pressure is an absolute necessity in choosing the right Event Planner for your occasion.
Of course, these are not the only criteria to consider when selecting your partner in your event, but they certainly represent a good start! You need to be organized in your thoughts and desires for the event, and make sure that there is an open line of communication between the Event Planner and you. Remember, you are the customer! Regardless of whether you are planning a small get together, or a large wedding, conference or fundraiser, choosing the South Florida Event Planner that is right for you is the foundation of a successful event.
