Key Players at Your Next Event: Designer & Planner
In line with last week’s blog (hint, hint, if you haven’t read it yet, it’s never too late), we wanted to continue the theme of breaking down some of the practical aspects of a luxury event. That’s why today we’re highlighting 2 key players involved in orchestrating a special occasion, who should ultimately make your life easier! We’re talking about the difference between an event designer and event planner, and why each are critical to capture a seamless event.
What is an Event Planner? Essentially, planners are like event managers, who organize and structure the day of and the details leading up to the celebration. They’re sorting through all the moving parts, negotiating contracts, and making decisions within your set budget to make sure you and your guests have a great time. You can count on them to help you find vendors, such as DJ’s, photographers, caterers, event designers…
What is an Event Designer? Like yours truly, a designer’s job is to take your ideas and vision and turn it into a successful atmosphere. It’s more than just adding pretty flowers. Essentially, we are the décor hands behind your event, setting the tone so that you can live in the moment. When we walk into a space, we visualize the potential and implement a game plan of designs in a way that lets you, the customer, relax and the event planner be secure that the room will be exactly how you want it.
How do We Work Together? The reality is, both designers and planners hold a lot of weight on the success of an event. We are both heavily involved in the details, which means you should trust that we will work together as a team to be your advocates, and provide honest and quality work. This means we strive to foreshadow any complications and navigate the room to initiate solutions to your needs, even when you don’t know you need them yet 😊 As a team, we create a space that nurtures your story and ultimately allows you the freedom to celebrate.
