Find And Hire The Perfect Party Planner

Planning a social event can be a daunting task, especially if you don't have the right people on your side. That's why it's so important to find the perfect social party planner for your next event.
​
Finding and hiring a great party planner does not have to be difficult though. All it takes is some planning and research on your end. The Celebrations Remembered team has put together some tips that will help you find and hire the best possible candidate for this job:

​Look For Social Party Planners Who Are Passionate About Events

You should hire a social party planner who is passionate about events and willing to go above and beyond in order to make sure your event goes off without a hitch.

A sense of humor is important for anyone you want to spend a lot of time with, especially in stressful situations. You also want an event planner who understands that a timely schedule makes guests feel more important.

A good event planner should be flexible and willing to consider your ideas. They should also pay close attention to detail, anticipate problems before they arise, and keep the entire process on schedule.

Communication is a big part of the event planning process. You need to be able to talk about what you want and listen as your planner offers suggestions for how it can be done.

Once you've found an event planner that meets all of these criteria, it's time to set up a meeting.

Get A Referral

If you have friends or family who've used an event planner and loved their services, ask for a recommendation.​

You can also go online and search for event planners in your area. Check out some of the online reviews for event planners in your area. Read through each one and see if they're talking about things that are important to you, like the quality of service or professionalism.

​Interview Social Party Planners

If this is your first time hiring a party planner, it's always best to get more than one quote before making your decision so that you know what other professionals charge for their services.

When you have a few planners that seem like a good fit, interview them to find out about their previous experience and check out what past clients have to say.
​
Ask about their packages, pricing, and payment terms. The planner should be able to provide a written estimate of what they would charge for your event.

Do they have enough time in their schedule to fit in your event? Are they able to cover all the details that you need?

Do you feel comfortable with their style and approach? If so, then it's time to decide who will be your party planner.

​Check References

Ask your social party planner for references. This can give you an insight into their work style, the kinds of events they specialize in, as well as how well they work with clients and other professionals in the industry.
​
For past clients, you can ask if they were happy with the results, if they would use the planner again, and if there are any special things that made their event so special.

Hiring The Perfect Party Planner Will Make Your Event Successful

​Hiring the right social party planner is crucial to your event's success. The right planner will make sure that everything runs smoothly and on time, which will leave you free to enjoy yourself at your own party!

Remember, when you're looking to find and hire the perfect social party planner, hire someone with experience in event planning. If they don't have any references or testimonials from past clients, ask them what kind of training they've received and how long ago. You should also verify their credentials with local authorities before making any final decisions about hiring them.

Ask about their rates upfront so there aren't any surprises later on when it comes time to pay them for their services. Make sure that these rates are reasonable compared with others in your area who offer similar services. You don't want anyone taking advantage of you.
