Come with a great plan of execution. This is done first by effectively communicating back and forth between your planner, their vendors and you the client.

At the end of it all, you’ll have a number of must have ideas for events and this will help to determine which ones to keep.
3. Planning your event should be fun

The whole purpose of hiring a planner is to take some of the stress and strain off of yourself. Planning your event should be fun and this is why hiring a planner that you can work well with is crucial.
4. It is your event planner’s responsibility to see the plan through
