Reasons to Use an Event Planner

Yesterday I had a prospective client tell me that her boss doesn’t want to use an event planner. After researching the company’s event and presenting her with ideas, I could tell she felt bad about the situation. She mentioned that she was going to try to talk him into using us. As an event strategist, I want to inform our readers why they should indeed use an event planner.

Reasons why to use an event planner:

1. We can save you time and money. Penta is staffed with a team of professional event planners who have spent many years in the industry perfecting their trade. Since time is money, the typical 20% commission we charge is well worth the investment when looked at from an analytical viewpoint. Once we evaluate your needs and budget, we formulate a plan to get the job done right, meeting all of your needs, and sticking within budget.

2. Again, we can save you money. Penta has built effective relationships with venues and suppliers throughout the US giving us the ability to negotiate the best price possible. We also have access to exclusive discounts and repeat deals.

3. Through years of experience in the event industry and plenty of research, Penta has wealth of knowledge in creative concept planning. We stay on top of innovative trends which enable us to help you ‘wow’ your guests. We promise to provide a memorable experience like no other that your guests will remember for years to come.

4. We manage all aspects of the event from start to finish and everything that happens in between. This includes determining objectives, writing proposals, securing permits, negotiating contracts, developing timelines, scouting venues, selecting menus, designing décor, and hiring entertainment. We get the job done taking your needs and wants into consideration throughout the process. You can be as involved or uninvolved as you want throughout the process.

5. During the event we are there to mange and trouble-shoot any problems that may arise and the majority of the time you’ll never even know that there were any problems. Think of use as your event insurance.

6. Experience – event planning is our expertise! Ask us for references or check out our testimonials at: http://www.pentaevents.com/testimonials.html.
