Frequently asked questions
How is an event planning company structured?
A typical firm has the Owner at the top with Lead Planners owning client relationships from sale through event day. Associate Planners and Day-Of Coordinators support. A Designer handles decor and a Production Manager handles equipment and logistics on larger events.
What is the difference between a lead planner and a day-of coordinator?
A Lead Planner handles the entire planning process from booking through event day (often 6 to 18 months of work). A Day-Of Coordinator only steps in 4 to 8 weeks before the event to execute someone else's plan. Most companies offer both as separate packages.
When does an event company need a production manager?
Once average event spend passes about 50K or AV and lighting becomes a regular line item, a dedicated Production Manager pays for themselves. Below that, the Lead Planner handles vendor coordination directly.
