To Disclose or To Not Disclose Your True Budget?

If you begin the planning process with an Event Designer, you should revel your true budget. To ensure that you have the best event possible, it is imperative that you are completely honest with your event designer. Being upfront with the budget gives the designer parameters as to which to create the experience. Like artists, event designers need to know what size canvas they are to create their masterpieces, how big or small is it. Not giving the designer this vital piece of information, limits the possibilities of the event design thereby compromising the experience and you lose out as the client. Remember you are having an event for a reason, for an experience.

Steps To Do In The Pre- Event Planning Process

First, Do Your Research- So you are having an event. The first thing is to do your research. Research vendors you want to work with in your area and get pricing. Second, develop your budget. Putting a budget together is a crucial step in the event planning stage. The easiest way to put together a budget is to determine what you want and have to spend, then compile the estimated costs of the venue, event management, decor elements, and catering. This will give you a general ballpark on the total costs for the event you want to have. One common mistake made when planning an event is not knowing how much your event ideas can cost. The third step is to get a firm number count on the number of people you will have attend the event before you begin contacting vendors. This will keep your budget under control throughout the planning process. Next, contact a event designer to help you select the venue, create the event concept and select design elements, based on your allocated budget for each category. Obtaining an event designer in the beginning of the process can help you both stay in budget and help you save in areas where you may not be aware of. The designer creates the blue print of the events look and feel, but also where to spend and where to save! Dont make the costley mistake of planning with out the consulting assistance of an event designer.

What Element Is Most Important At Any Event?

The answer is DECOR! Decor- a decorative scheme.



Your guest's first impression as they enter the room will be the overall decor. Your guests will see many elements creating the event atmosphere- the florals, linen, chairs, lighting, food display, and creative props. These have a tremendous impact on the statement you make as a company or individual. It is important to remember that all these elements play off each other and bring the total picture together. Skimping on one will lessen the effect on the others. So be careful about doing that. Remember do not over -promise and under -deliver by picking a pretty venue and having skimpy decor. To ensure you do not blow your budget and that you properly allocate funds to cover decor, you should seek the advise of a professional event designer or contact us at 404-388-0712 before you book your venue. We will be happy to review your plan and consult with you on your budget and your special event.
