Differences between DIY Events and Professional Event Planners
The Cost
People might assume that planning an event on their own will work out to be less expensive, because of course our event planning services don’t come for free, but there’s more to think about than just the initial outlay when you hire an event professional. A seasoned event planner will have working relationships with venues and suppliers, so can get discounts and special pricing that just aren’t available to the general public. A professional event planner also has the experience of which are the areas where cutting costs is appropriate, (and any areas where it isn’t), so is likely to save their clients some unnecessary expense.
Knowledge & Experience
As well as having great knowledge of the logistics of planning an event, a professional event planner will have built up a great network of suppliers that they can call on, whereas with DIY events the planner is likely to struggle to find just the right supplier for their requirements. Plus, a professional will know what the areas that have the highest risk of going wrong are, and also know exactly what to do to prevent them from going wrong.
Stress Levels
Out of all the factors in the DIY events vs. professional event planners debate, I’d say that this is the most crucial. A professional event planner will take all of the headaches that come with organizing a big event, (hey, we’re used to it!), leaving their client and guests to enjoy themselves. Even if a potential client doesn’t have any major issues at their DIY event, they’ll still be worrying about what could happen instead of just enjoying the occasion
Time
In the run up to any big event there are so many things that need to be arranged, confirmed or checked, and a professional event planner will be dedicated to doing just that. If a prospective client is planning a DIY event, it can be hard to find the time to fit the planning stages around their normal life, work and family.
Marketing the Event
Now, for a private event for family and friends such as a birthday or engagement party, there’s no need to worry about the marketing side of things. But for events where the guest list is a lot bigger, like charity events or promotional events, how can a potential client make sure that they market the event successfully if they’re doing it themselves? A professional event planner will have all of the tools, knowledge and connections to make sure that any event they plan is a success, not a flop.
