Although seeming to be an easier job than others may claim, event planners are very important. There are thousands of events every year that event planners are able to plan that run smoothly and successfully. These events can range from anything from weddings, birthdays, conventions, and more. Someone has to plan these events, and not everyone can. Event planners need to be punctual and organized to be able to coordinate successful events, no matter the size. Without event planners, companies may not be able to hold events they need and weddings would be too overwhelming for a couple to plan by themselves. If an event is unsuccessful and poorly planned, this can hurt the company or the reputation of the company as well. Event planners are there to ensure that everything runs smoothly and the events go as planned. It is also important for events to run smoothly because if not, it could hinder other events as well. For example, if an event is set to run from 11 am to 2pm, and the event is poorly planned, it is highly possible for that event to run over schedule, and the guests would be either leaving early without staying until the end of the event, or leaving later than expected. This can then cause problems within their own scheduling, becoming late to another meeting or event previously planned. This can hurt the host of the event as well because it is likely that the majority of guests will leave before the event is over, causing the attendance rate to drop by the end of the event. This can also affect the reputation of the host, shining them in a negative light that their events are poorly planned and have bad event planning skills. This is where the event planner comes in, saving the day. If this company or host of the event were to be planned by a skilled event planner, these problems would be less likely to arise. Additionally, event planners take the stress off of those who were originally in charge of the event. Event planners are there to be the organizers that you didn’t know you needed but you do. Successful events that are open to the public will enhance the company’s customer service and this can affect the company in a positive way. The little things that event planners do can help companies, couples, or even parents that want to throw their kids an elaborate birthday party. In conclusion, event planners are needed and should not be taken for granted.
