I’ve got to admit to someone looking in that may have never planned an event before they can feel overwhelmed because there are so many moving parts. This the apart that I enjoy.

The adrenaline, excitement, and the greatest reward of being able to meet so many incredible people all around the world who love what you do. When talking to clients they have so many creative ideas and sometimes it helps to focus and align with what your goals are for the event.

KNOW THE OBJECTIVE.

Get to know the event's objective and the message you want to convey. You will then come up with an event theme.

Ask these questions:

What do you want your guests to feel?

What is your goal for the event?

What value do you want to add to the guests?

LAY IT ALL OUT

Determine the budget you're working with, and what they will be expected to do. Planners can recommend food and beverage options, select the venue, source vendors such as speakers, catering, florists and entertainment, etc.

FIND YOUR EVENT PLANNER

Look for the event planner who has expertise in creating your type of event. @dianasevents specializes in corporate, weddings, and social events.

COMMUNICATE and COORDINATE

Coordinate with your event planner as they will share a detailed plan for you. Toss around your creative ideas and toss out those ideas that don't work.

Remember that we can't read minds, and even if we could we still WANT to know what you're thinking.

ENJOY

Planning is meant to be fun NOT stressful! So enjoy the moment, and be excited with the event you crafted with your event planner.
