- Why do I need an event planner?
|
|
We are able to provide resources and time/budget
saving strategies that are not available to the average
consumer. We guide our clients through complicated issues,
help make artistic decisions, and instill a sense of confidence
and control over the event. Our work gives the client an
opportunity to enjoy the planning process and the occasion
itself!
|
|
| |
- How would we work together and does
Arrangements need to plan my entire event?
|
|
We begin by listening to determine what
you envision for your event, the nature of the gathering,
your budget, and your priorities. We ask numerous questions
about your objectives and the effect you want to produce.
You may choose to handle any aspect of your event you wish
or recommend any supplier. We map out your budget, tailor
your event to your tastes, contract with necessary suppliers
and finalize deliveries while keeping you informed of progress
and expenditures.
|
|
| |
- Can Arrangements help me set up a
budget
and negotiate prices?
|
|
Yes. Based on nearly 20 years of experience,
we can assist clients in organizing their financial priorities
and, more importantly, staying within that budget as the
planning process unfolds. Because regional suppliers know
our successful work ethic and our respect for their time
and materials, we are able to provide the best services
at fair prices.
|
|
| |
- Can Arrangements find unusual venues
for my event?
|
|
Yes. Not only can we recommend venues,
but we can advise on the best use of the space, what regulations
govern its use, what kind of services the facility provides,
and which suppliers may work there. We have established
good working relations with area facilities who trust us
to be good stewards of their property. We can also advise
on, recommend and oversee the installation of tents in otherwise
inadequate spaces, which open new and very personal venues
for special events.
|
|
| |
- Will my guests still feel like it is
my event?
|
|
Yes. Because our philosophy is that every
event should be a unique occasion geared specifically to
your needs, your event will evolve with your personal stamp.
We take a place in the background of any event, and the
specifics of our involvement are always confidential between
Arrangements and our client.
|
|
| |
- Can Arrangements plan an event for
me
even if I live out of this area?
|
|
Yes. We have worked on events all over
the country. We also work with a number of clients who host
conferences, weddings and reunions in our area but do not
live here themselves. Some of them live overseas and may
not be here at all until the time of their event. Web-based
technologies allows easy access for us to our out-of-town
clients.
|
|
| |
- Can you supervise my event?
|
|
Yes. Our goal is for our client/host to
feel comfortable and relaxed during the event with our being
there to take care of timing, guests’ last minute requests,
weather, music and food service issues. Our clients are
grateful for the troubleshooting we do and are appreciative
later when they learn of all the last minute details we
expedited for them.
|
|
| |
- How much does this cost and when will
I be billed?
|
|
Arrangements charges an hourly fee which
includes travel and meeting time; phone, email, and fax
communiqués; and on site work at the time of your
event. Once your needs are determined, we are able to estimate
the time required for us to complete the assignments you
have for us. During the planning process, we will handle
any supplier deposits and pay bills on your behalf after
the event.
