How To Select The Right Event Planner For Your Event In Michigan

Finding the right event planner for you and your event in Michigan is an event in itself.
A coordinator or professional event planner must be detail-oriented, organized, energetic,
enthusiastic, nurturing and flexible.

If you are the host or the individual selected by your company to be responsible for the event that you are holding in Michigan, then the success of the event will be your responsibility. Therefore, it is imperative you find a coordinator that you can work with, who is reliable, dependable and with whom you will have confidence.


A good event planner is able to accomplish the following:
Research: Ideas, locations, feasibility, staffing, volunteers, budget, timing, sponsorship.
Design: Decor, layouts, presentation, logistics, creativity.
Coordinate: Delegation, responsibilities, committees.
Evaluate: Was it a success? Why? Why not? Document any suggestions for future use.

Your Michigan Event Planner must be able to work efficiently and smoothly with others; to communicate honestly and clearly with everyone. The coordinator usually manages the big picture, hiring reliable and competent staff, volunteers and vendors that are located in the city in Michigan where you are holding your event, forming committees, detailing job descriptions and schedules. A good rapport needs to exist between yourself and everyone connected to the event. Treating all personnel with respect and appreciation is a must for the planner you choose.

A good event planner communicates every facet of the event to all his/her employees and keeps you well informed.
All the planning in the world will not work if no one is aware of the plans. If a problem arises, someone needs to be able to continue implementing the plans for the event.

Keep in mind, experienced event professionals are always continuing their education. They are willing to learn and work with new ideas and technology. Professionals of this caliber lead from a position of strength and that strength is derived from knowledge and experience. This is the type of coordinator you want for your event.

With this in mind, start interviewing. Ask for a face-to-face interview. It is during this interview you will get a feel for the event planner and if you will be able to work with him/her. Look at his/her portfolio, photos and invitations.
Discuss you needs and be sure the planner has the experience to follow through.
Ask for and check references. Some questions are:

  • What are the most recent events you've organized?
  • How many events, like the one we want, have you supervised?
  • When were they?
  • What was the extent of you involvement?
  • How many people attended?
  • If a fund-raiser, how much money did the event raise?
  • Can you plan and follow a budget?
  • How much time do you have to promote to this event?
  • Would you work out of your home or must we provide you an office?
  • What kind of people skills do you have? Are you able to motivate people?
  • How do you function under pressure?
  • Will you be there on the day of the event? If not, who?
  • Do you have letters of recommendation?

Be specific when asking questions and be sure you completely understand the replies. There must be no misunderstandings. There are big differences between types of events - large or small, informal or formal, corporate, social or wedding, etc. That is one of the reasons to hire a coordinator who has experience in putting together your type of event. Ask questions until you are satisfied you have chosen the most qualified person to plan your event.

The fee structure is dependent upon many items. How much you participate and how much the coordinator actually does. Determine if a flat fee is charged or if the fee is a percentage of the total budget? Ask what is required for the down payment? When is the balance due? What is the cancellation policy?

Once you have decided on a coordinator, a concise agreement must be drawn up covering details and responsibilities to prevent any misunderstandings in the future.

Work with your coordinator, asking for progress reports. Keep your own checklist current. With everyone working closely together, your event will run smoothly and be a success! All because of your good judgment in hiring the best coordinator for your event.
