Even then, you only need them during deeply emotional moments: weddings, milestone birthdays, graduations, and retirements: those moments of celebration that we cherish for the rest of our lives.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are big moments in your life. Organizing and hiring all the right people to feed you and your guests, decorate your space, choose the perfect music, and ensure that it all goes off without a hitch can be hard. So how can you tell if you have the right kind of person?\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2>\u00a0<\/h2><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Organization<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good Event Coordinators are organized. They juggle multiple timelines and tasks like a magician. They are confident and respectful with you, your guests and your vendors. They coordinate schedules and manage vendors like they\u2019re playing chess, and they keep track of complex budgets and logistical assets to ensure your event is enjoyable and stress-free.<\/span><\/p><h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should think about&#8230;<\/span><\/h4><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Was your prospective event planner courteous, respectful, and fun?<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did they arrive at your meeting before you?<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did they take extensive notes?<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Were they able to articulate a preliminary plan for organizing your event by the end of the meeting?<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h2>\u00a0<\/h2><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Attention to Detail<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No one loves details like Event Planners. Knowing the details allows everyone the freedom to enjoy the event. They need to see what other people miss, so they can catch and fix any issue before you even notice. They ensure every decor, tech, and catering element is correct and are perfection-driven for a seamless guest experience.<\/span><\/p><h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your event planner should&#8230;<\/span><\/h4><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assesses your plan and points out items that could be an issue<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make innovative suggestions<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be familiar with local vendors and performers<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h2>\u00a0<\/h2><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Communication<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Event Coordinators have to juggle communication from you, from vendors, from your family, and from guests. So, they need to be strong communicators and canny enough to understand what\u2019s relevant and what\u2019s just not helpful. Excellent event managers will listen to a client\u2019s expectations and goals and be able to confidently repeat them. They\u2019ll negotiate with suppliers and partners like a world class real estate agent. Even in a tight situation, they will relay clear instructions to staff and crew.<\/span><\/p><h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should think about&#8230;<\/span><\/h4><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Were they easy to talk to?<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Could they repeat your ideas and needs?<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did they treat you like a person or a checklist?<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did they relate interesting anecdotes of past experiences?<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h2>\u00a0<\/h2><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Problem-Solving<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even with the best of planning, there\u2019s always something on the day that needs a sharp mind and a calm disposition. Your Event Coordinator should be able to think fast when unexpected issues arise and come to solid solutions quickly. They will remain calm under high-pressure situations. A good event planner is fast on their feet, because they have thought the issues through and have created backup plans for potential risks.<\/span><\/p><h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should think about&#8230;<\/span><\/h4><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you ask them an odd question, how did they handle it?<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can they articulate back up plans and systems?<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did they have a story of how they managed to avert disaster in a tough situation?<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h2>\u00a0<\/h2><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adaptability<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite being faithful to their spreadsheets, a good event manager can dance with the best of them when the situation changes. They will adjust quickly to last-minute schedule or venue shifts and embrace changes with a flexible mindset and good humour. If things are going a little off track, they stay focused on the end goal and adjust as necessary to keep you and your guests relaxed, happy, and (hopefully) totally oblivious of any issue.<\/span><\/p><h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should think about&#8230;<\/span><\/h4><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you change your mind during the interview, do they flex with you easily?<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you introduce new ideas or alternatives, do they go with the flow?<\/span><\/li><\/ul><h2>\u00a0<\/h2><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Will You Know?<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The interview process is a chance to analyze your prospective event manager or management team. It\u2019s a chance to see if you get along with this person, whether you think they have all the skills and connections you\u2019re looking for and whether they exhibit the qualities of a successful event manager.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to get along with your event planner. It\u2019s just as important that they are attentive, thoughtful, and organised. If they\u2019re charming, that\u2019s great. But charming doesn\u2019t cut it when the caterer goes awol.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Looking for an event planner? <a href=\"https:\/\/maroongoose.ca\/index.php\/services\/\">Maroon Goose<\/a> offers event planning and event coordinators in Hamilton, Ontario and the surrounding region.
