How to ensure you partner with the right event producer?

Imagine that you have planned the perfect company dinner and the caterer got the date wrong. Your keynote speaker didn't show up because his travel tickets were never confirmed. And the napkins at the tables don't match the table skirts. Are your attendees going to think 'Oh, their event planners let them down?’ Of course, not! When you plan a large-scale corporate event, it is YOUR company's reputation that’s on the line. Why would you leave that in unskilled hands?

If your company is hosting a customer appreciation event, a team-building day or any other type of corporate event, it pays to hire the best corporate event production company you can find to take care of all the details. Here's a checklist of criteria to help you narrow down your choices to those corporate event producers that will deliver an event that your customers and employees will enjoy.

RECOMMENDATIONS – THE MORE THE MERRIER!

If you are new to planning corporate events, ask around among your business colleagues for recommendations. If you attend a grand opening or company dinner that impresses you, make a note of which event planner was used. Excellence has a way of being noted, and word of mouth is the best recommendation you can find.

ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS TO GET THE INFORMATION YOU NEED TO KNOW.

How often do they handle events similar to yours? What other corporate events has the firm planned lately? Do they have experience with the type of event that you want to run? How will they approach your goals for this event? When you interview a corporate event producer, pay close attention to the answers that they give. Their answers will determine if they will be able to translate your vision into the spectacular event that you have in mind.

ALWAYS ASK FOR REFERENCES.

A professional event producer will be happy to provide you with the names of other clients that you can contact. Just as importantly, they can provide a list of vendors with whom they have worked and have relationships. As in any other business, successful event production is based on who you know just as much as what you know. An expert corporate event producer will have worked extensively with vendors and services in your area. They will know which companies are reliable and which ones to avoid.

No matter what type of event you are planning, it makes sense to turn to a knowledgeable professional for help with the details. Professionals that focus on event production in San Diego can make running your event painless – so that you can relax and enjoy the evening as much as your attendees.
