What’s New - The latest special event production news from Bright Ideas Event Agency.

We hope you get to read this before making that big decision. Throwing an event on your own is no easy feat. It can surprise you when you least expect it, and by then you are already in the weeds of the planning and your reputation is on the line! However, it does not mean that you need to go solo. Did you know that we offer consulting services for events? Yes, you heard that right! An expert event consultant, aka The Sharon Bonner can help you out. If you are not convinced yet, then keep reading to learn how hiring an Event Consultant can save you money, stress and time!

An Event Consultant Can Save You Money and Time

That precious time is often dismissed as least important, with it being truly appreciated only when in desperate need. You need to understand that, just as they say, Rome was not built in a day, and neither are events. You cannot expect to finish everything with ease if you have never done this before. How would you know how many hours it takes to plan an event if you have never planned one? Long story short, mistakes cost time and money, and we know better with so many years in the industry.

However, if you are willing to take the risk, go ahead—some of the best success stories happen this way. But not all of us get that Cinderella moment, so why not ask for help instead of throwing your money away and possibly having a disaster event? Before designing your event, ask yourself if you have allowed yourself enough time to manage everything, from securing vendors, events, and the right décor to sending invites and more. This brings us to one question: “Why stress yourself out if time management is not your forte”?

An Event Consultant Can Save You Money and Stay Within Budget

Unless you are a budgeting wizard, us seasoned planners know the struggle of allocating funds for decor, catering, venue, and more. It can get very messy easily and approaching it with the attitude of “I will figure it out as I go along” will not cut it. It is so simple to overspend.

Remember why you are throwing an event in the first place and if the price tag matches the value you will get in return, then you are fine. But often this is not the case. It is all about business at the end of the day, and getting value for your investment is where the sweet spot is. Events are expensive and it’s easy to overspend without reaching your goals and objectives.  

An Event Consultant Can Save You Money with Expert Planning

Going solo is a big step. Without relying on a reliable event company to take care of the nitty-gritty, you might face many obstacles, but the main one would be where to start. You could follow some cookie-cutter recipe for how to plan an event or just eyeball it, but personally, we would not recommend this practice as the chances of failure are simply too high, and the risk is not worth it.

Instead, you can hire an Event Consultant to map your way to event success. Plus, we hope you did not forget about the marketing aspect too, which can also be planned and achieved as part of your event strategy. Marketing and events go hand in hand and most people forget about this.

An Event Consultant Can Save You Money with Vendor Connections

With so many years of experience—we are talking about more than 36 years—we have practically planned events almost everywhere in Vancouver. If you asked us, “Do you know this?” “Do you know them?” “There?” The answer is almost always yes.

So, when it comes to booking or sourcing caterers, staff, venues, or anything else you could think of, we, and by “we,” we know who to call and how to find the best deals, thereby saving you money! What else can you ask for? An event consultant rich in connections is the right person you want on your side while planning an event.

Conclusion

We believe in the mantra of showing you how to succeed and it is up to you to embark or go through it. We are simply reaching out to you with a special service that does not require you to book us entirely but allows you to gain our insights to help you along.

If this sounds too overwhelming, you could always opt to hire us as an event production team instead of doing it all yourself. We sincerely hope you contact us for a booking or at least a consultation. Maybe then we will get the chance to change your mind!
