When you are preparing for a wedding or a mitzvah, there are countless things to consider. When you’re doing it yourself, it can be easy to get lost in the shuffle before the event or on the day of. Party planners do not just help with getting everything together before the event; they also help you to execute things flawlessly the day of so that you can enjoy the wonderful event you planned. The last thing most parents want to do when celebrating their child’s mitzvah is running around with a clipboard to coordinate! What types of elements can party planners help you with?

Making the Venue and Vendors Work for Your Event 

You selected this amazing venue, now what? Party planners know the many venue-related questions that need to be answered before the big day, such as where the loading dock is located for delivery. Do your vendors need credentials before entering the premises and are there any special rules your vendors need to follow? No two vendors are alike. Each vendor has their own unique style and operating procedures. Experienced party planners have the unique experience of working with numerous vendors and therefore can recommend ones that are of great quality and that work well together. As party planners, Innovative Party Planners can also manage your vendors on the day of the event to ensure that everyone is on the same schedule and page.

Decorating the Event Space

Choosing décor is one of the most enjoyable parts of the party planning process, and we suggest waiting to purchase any elements before finding out if your venue allows them. Some venues do not allow glitter, confetti, sparklers or real candles, and you want to confirm that before you buy any! Party planners can also help take some of the décor work off your plate by designing, making and transporting the centerpieces for you, so you have one less thing to worry about.

You’ve worked so hard to plan a great event, so you deserve to enjoy it.
