Planning a party of any type, whether it be a bridal shower, baby shower, wedding, corporate function, or school event, can be incredibly stressful. These events should be happy occasions, but being responsible for each and every detail can induce a lot of anxiety. Hiring a party consultant helps immensely with the process, and helps hosts enjoy the occasion rather than spend the intervening months filled with stress. Some people, however, are under the impression that hiring a party consultant is an unnecessary expense. This could not be further from the truth – a reputable party consultant will help save time, money, and sanity.
Time
A reputable party consultant will save an exceptional amount of time. He or she will sit down with the client to discuss each and every need, and then do all the legwork to have those needs met. Finding the time to meet with a videographer, or to see multiple venues, or discuss the meal with the caterer can be difficult. An experienced party consultant will do all of this work on behalf of the client, and will only present the best possible choices.
Cost
While it seems counter-intuitive to hire someone to help save money, party consultants will work with the vendors to help the client stay within his or her budget. Party consultants will also know how to prioritise the budget. He or she will know where corners can be cut, and where money needs to be spent.
One huge benefit to hiring help to plan a party or event is that the consultant has pre-existing relationships with many vendors, and can negotiate cost much better and with more experience than the average person. Discounts and other incentives are available to event consultants that simply aren’t offered to the average consumer, and hiring someone to plan the party for you will ensure that your budget goes a long way.
Sanity
The event, whatever it may be, will end up looking its best. Party consultants have experience planning a variety of different events, and know what works and what doesn’t. After meeting with the client and getting a sense of his or her style, the party consultant will ensure that the event looks amazing, and that guests have a good time. Even more important, however, is that the client will be able to relax and enjoy the event, rather than worrying about the catering or the chairs or decorations.
