Event Planning Tips 101

As an experienced event planner with access to hundreds of private estates in the greater Los Angeles area, I have had the privilege of working with some of the top event professionals in the country. Planning an event comes with its fair share of challenges, but employing good planning techniques and verifying every detail can help ensure a successful event.

Here are my top recommendations:

Hire an experienced, seasoned event planner. You don’t want to rely on trial and error for your own event.
Use proper staffing ratios to ensure you have enough wait staff and bartenders. Seeing long lines during cocktail hour can be heartbreaking. For a 150-guest event, we recommend multiple bartenders and tray-passed beverages to keep the lines short.
Arrange reliable transportation, such as shuttles, and work with reputable companies. The transportation experience is often a guest’s first and last impression, so it’s crucial to get it right.
Attention to detail is paramount – no aspect of the event can be left to chance.
Hire an event planner you genuinely like and trust. A mutual respect between both parties is essential for a great event experience.

There are many more planning tips, but these are some of the most important ones to consider. By following fundamental guidelines, you can set your event up for success.
