What To Look For When Hiring a Coordinator For Your Next Event

There are many things to consider when hiring a coordinator for your event. Here is a list of points to look at when shopping for a wedding or event planner:

1. How many years of experience does the person have with planning a wedding/quinceanera/event?

Experience in planning the type of event you are having is key. Many seasoned event planners will tell you that from all of the training, workshops and college courses available, the most important part of their success is their experience.

2. Do they have a portfolio?

Being able to see phototgraphs of events that the person has designed or coordinated gives you the opportunity to see the quality of their work and whether they share your same style.

3. Does they have references?

When you meet with a planner for the first time, it is similar to a job interview, so why not ask for references! Speak with a couple of their past clients. If the planner has happy customers, theses customers are likely willing to give a recommendation and talk about their good experience with others.

4. Are they accredited with the Better Business Bureau?

This one is very important. When businesses are accredited with the Better Business Bureau, they have been approved as a business that is committed to honesty with its customers, has a proven track record, and operates with integrity on all levels. BBB accredited businesses are also given a rating from A+ to F based on customer reviews. Visit their website at http://www.bbb.org/ for a list of all BBB accredited businesses, ratings and customer reviews.
