event planning
Why hire a coordinator for your next event?
- Savings/Value
- Your secretary has a full time job! You hire out for all of the other important tasks to be handled such as printing, catering, rentals etc, why not rely on the expertise of a professional event coordinator. A good event planner will almost always pay for itself. It is a fact that clients can experience overall savings when Celebrations is involved in selecting and negotiating with event vendors. This service alone can cover the cost of hiring a Celebrations event planner.Celebrations´ clients consider us the single most important factor in their ability to surpass their event vision within their given budget.
- Personalization
- In order to create and execute the event you envision, we spend a lot of time getting to know you, your company and your guests. Accurately depicting the statement that your company wishes to relay to your guests is our main goal. By combining our understanding of traditional event elements with modern approaches, we produce events that are as flawless as they are distinct. Whether you wish to have an event that is classic and refined, or urban and chic, we will work with you to create the event of your dreams.
- The Advocate
- Because there is a substantial learning curve in hiring and managing vendors, companies benefit tremendously from having an experienced third-party (Celebrations) serve as their advocate throughout the entire planning process. As we build our relationship with you and understand your priorities and concerns. We ensure that you consider and select the right vendors while making certain that every aspect is perfect and no creative detail is overlooked. We also negotiate contracts that are fully protecting your best interests.
- Creativity
- Our team at Celebrations has a wonderful talent for coming up with creative ways to parlay the exact message that you wish to share with your guests. We weave creative unique elements into concepts our clients can afford. We have an entire warehouse full of decorative items to provide a truly magnificent themed event setting.
Event Coordination Pricing
Our rates are based on the amount of coordination that your event requires. Our services can range from $500 to $5,000. We offer a free initial consultation to asses your individual event needs. From there we will work with you to develop a package that includes all coordinating aspects that your event requires. We charge a flat rate based on the package you choose.
The difference: A consultant who charges you a percent of your total event budget has no incentive to find you the best deals on the venue, caterer, etc. The higher your bills are, the larger the profit they make for themselves. Other coordinators may charge a “complete event package” price – say $40,000 for an awards banquet package for 200people and pay for the photographer, caterer etc, out of the total billed amount. With no incentive to save you money, they can pick the vendors that best suit their needs and pocket. Since we charge a flat rate, we work in your best interest to negotiate the best prices for the highest quality products and services to suit your taste and budget.
At Celebrations we do not take "kick backs" or commissions from other vendors for referrals. We work in the best interest of our clients. We are not biased toward one vendor or the other because of paid incentives. We are, however, knowledgeable about what each vendor´s qualities are and know which one may provide the style you are looking for within your budget.
