The benefits of hiring an event organiser

We all want to host the best possible event that is talked about by our clients and colleagues – and on social media, for all the right reasons!

Organising a successful event takes planning, attention to detail and organisational expertise.  Whether it is a cocktail party, conference, gala dinner, or exhibition, if you don’t have these skills, then you need an event professional who has the experience, supplier network and dedication to ensure you and your guests are not disappointed.

With most businesses having a focus on cost saving, getting the right person to organise your company event is crucial.  You may have staff that offer to assist, but they already have their day-to-day functions and may not have the necessary knowledge and experience required to implement all the aspects that will make the event a success.

Most people think that hiring an Event Organiser for your event is too costly or unnecessary. Not so!  Event Organisers know what costs to expect, where savings can be made and how to create the best impact within the budget. Event organisers also have a network of suppliers that they work with regularly who will deliver on time and within budget. There might even be a preferable rate that can be passed on to the client.  

We focus on your event, you focus on your strategy

There are so many details that need to be considered when having a function from invitations and RSVPs to parking signage and stocking the bar.  This should all be seamlessly looked after by the Event Organiser.  Once you have provided your Event Organiser with your brief and list of invitees, there should be nothing left for you to do except arrive on the day and take the credit.

Know how to keep your event ‘safe’

Aside from all the obvious elements to work on, an Event Organiser will consider every aspect of the event, from location and ease-of-access, to parking, wheelchair access and power supply.

Event Organisers also know what to look out for in terms of risk factors and Health & Safety requirements. They will ensure that each service provider has the certification to meet the compliance requirements.  They know what to look out for to mitigate any threat to you, your guests, your event and your reputation. Without this valuable experience your event could be at risk. 

Professional team and expertise

An Event Organiser will go all the way to ensure that your event meets all the set deadlines, is full of flair and is within your budget.
