What’s the difference between an event planner and the event coordinator on staff at hotels or event facilities?
December 15, 2009
I hear this comment from clients all the time, “I don’t need to hire an event planner because the hotel or the event facility has one already”. The answer to that comment is – let me explain the difference between a hired event planner vs. an event coordinator hotels or event facilities have on property.
The event coordinators on staff at hotels or event facilities are hired by the hotels or the event facilities to make sure everything goes smoothly from the facilities’ side. In the event when the client does not have their own event planner, they will then take on the role to help you out when necessary. They are not hired to work for you. They are not there to hand holding you every step of the way or to answer questions or concerns you might have in regards to your event. They are also not there to consult you on what color you should pick for your linens or which photographer you should use.
A hired event planner works for YOU. His or her job is to hand hold you every step of the way and be there for you to answer questions or concerns as well as providing consultation whenever needed in regards to your event. They take care of every little detail for you, so you have a worry free and stress free event to remember and cherish.
One thing they do have in common is that a hired event planner works very closely with the event coordinator on staff at hotels or event facilities for one common goal, to make your dream event come true.
