Event management is the process of creating and hosting an event. This process spread from the very beginning of planning all the way to post event strategizes. At the beginning, an event manager makes planning decisions, such as the time, location, and theme of the event. Throughout an event, event managers look after the event and make sure things run fluently. 

All different branches of planning go into event management, including various types of sourcing, design, regulation checks, and on-site management. 

 In event management, you could be in the process of producing a conference, a product launch, or even a wedding. Indeed, any event that requires considerable planning and accomplishing event management.  

Hiring an event planner may appear, to several people, to be an unnecessary and added expense. An event planner can save you large amounts of money, in division to the dimensions of your event.  

Here are 5 ways in which that an event planner can save your money.  

Professional Network – It is the job of event planners to maintain a network of suppliers and vendors that they regularly deal with, from venues to flower suppliers to catering, among others. This special connection allows the event planner to get discounts and deals that you may not get by going directly to the supplier yourself.  

Savings on Hotel Costs – You may want to book a block of rooms with a particular hotel, along with a meeting room inside the hotel itself. To save on costs, you can ask your event planner to return the commission that the planner might usually get from the hotel. This can save you a chunk of money, dependent on the area of your event.  

Negotiation Skills – A good event planner will know what is important to the venue that you are booking, and should be able to negotiate a jointly beneficial contract for both you and the venue. For example, the event planner can negotiate free services, to reduced rates on rooms, or perhaps lower rates or free use of meeting rooms.  

Added Discounts – Because event planners handle multiple events, vendors and suppliers value the business these planners bring and many times provide better pricing, with a special discount for the event planner. You can ask your event planner if the added discounts they get from their vendors can be pass on to you.  

Time and Stress –  

They say time is money, and an event planner saves your time so that you can do other things that may be more important to you. You also have peace of mind in knowing that someone is taking care of the details of your event in a professional way.  

Once you’ve determined the purpose, audience, and budget for your event, you just need to select vendors to help carry out your vision. Even if you are a top-notch event manager, you can’t go at it alone. If you think of a wildly successful event, you’ll need to choose exceptional vendors. Employing vendors that are anything less than exceptional could result in a less than optimal experience for guest.
