As anyone who’s planned an elaborate event knows there’s no rest for the weary when it comes to pulling off a flawless affair. Planning even a small-scale event takes a significant amount of time, patience and attention.

Enter the event planner, the one person who can help run your event like a well-oiled machine and eliminate the anxiety and stress that comes with organizing a spectacular event. Having an event planner comes with many benefits, including keeping things on schedule, planning logistics, staying on budget, and being the point-of-contact for vendors and collaborators.

Time Management

When planning an event, time is of the essence. From reserving the site months in advance, to creating a precise timeline on the day of the event, the event planner is responsible for ensuring things run on time and as smoothly as possible. The event planner is also there to address and solve any problems that arise, all with professionalism and grace.

Budget Controls

Planning any type of event requires a carefully crafted budget, one that needs to be adhered to no matter what. A professional event planner understands the importance of this and is focused on ensuring your event stays on budget. Throughout the event planning process, the planner will help find the most cost-effective options for your event and guide you in making sound decisions when it comes to spending.

Vendor Relations

A well-planned event is more than just securing the venue and choosing a menu for dinner. There are many moving pieces in a well-executed event, from the florals and photography, to the entertainment and event décor. Rather than take on the burden of finding specialty vendors for your event, leave it to your event planner, who has a wide variety of suppliers at their disposal. A seasoned event planner has built relationships with trusted vendors and may be able to secure items and services at reduced costs. Cloth & Flame can help, too, with our extensive and perfectly-curated network of the best local vendors. 

Creating Memories

The overall goal of any event is to celebrate a significant moment in time and to treat guests to a unique and unforgettable experience. Hiring an experienced event planner will ensure your event runs efficiently, smoothly and successfully, and that you, too, can celebrate as well. 

When it comes to planning events in desert, mountains, seaside, urban outdoor environments, or everywhere in between, no one is more prepared to take on the permitting and vendor connections to make it happen. Simple to complex, bringing your dreams to reality is their goal.
