•Budget - Ensure you let your event planner know the available budget for the event. It is their responsibility to manage and be accountable for expenditure of your budget. Ensure you commit this aspect to paper at as early a stage as possible.
•Plan - Get your event planner to provide a draft of how they envision the event on your behalf. Ensure you arrange briefings sessions with your event planner. They will usually provide an agenda ahead of the meetings. If an item you want to discuss isn't on it, get the event planner to place it on the agenda. Start from the day of the intended event and work your way backwards. This will let you know if your dates are attainable.
•Food & Beverage - Where possible, get your event planner to arrange a sampling session where possible ahead of an event. You want your clients to be catered for to the highest levels. If something is not to your satisfaction, a sampling session enables the event planner and supplier, to make adjustments ahead of the event. It also provides you with the reassurance that your event planner, is listening to your event brief carefully.
• Communication & Access - A good professional event planner will manage all the demands and hire all the suppliers for you. It is their job to free up your time and ensure your event is delivered to the highest possible standards. Agree at the outset with your event planner, how often you need to meet and ensure you are accessible for them, when they do need your support. Effective communication is vital at all times. If you communicate well, your event planner will be in a position to deliver your event with seamless ease.
• Checklists - A good event planner will produce a definitive and specific set of checklists for your event. Ensure someone with decision making ability and capacity is available to run through this with the event planner. The more that is written down and recorded, the more likely your event will be delivered successfully by your event planner. Checklists prevent the event planner from making mistakes.
•Post event meeting - Ensure your event planner provides a post event report to you and your team. Request them to produce this report within two weeks of your event and provide a summary against the event goals & objectives. Getting your event planner to provide this can provide invaluable for you and your team in planning future events.
