The 10 Questions You Must Ask Your Event Planner for a Flawless Event (Part One)
Planning an amazing event is no simple task. It requires collaboration, meticulous organization, and clear communication with your event planner. To ensure everything goes as envisioned, it’s essential to ask the right questions. So the event experts of Imperial Hospitality present the 10 most important questions you have to ask and why they matter.
1. What is your experience with the type of event I’m planning?
Why ask this: An experienced wedding planner might not be equally skilled in organizing a corporate event. Request examples of similar events they’ve managed and how they tackled challenges.
2. What is the timeline for preparations?
Why ask this: Time is of the essence. Ask for a detailed guide with key dates to know when major milestones should be achieved, such as securing the venue, sending out invitations, and conducting rehearsals.
3. What is the total budget required?
Why ask this: It’s easy to exceed the initial budget without clear guidelines. Request a cost breakdown for all services and ask if there is room for flexibility or more affordable alternatives.
4. Which vendors and suppliers will be involved?
Why ask this: From catering to photography, each partner plays a vital role. Request a list of recommended collaborators and information about their reliability and experience.
5. How do you handle unforeseen circumstances?
Why ask this: Unexpected situations happen. Whether it’s technical difficulties or last-minute changes, your event planner should have a crisis management plan. Ask for examples of how they’ve successfully resolved issues in the past.
