Event Planning
You Need an Event Planner and Here’s Why
The internet has made us extremely resourceful. Anything you want to know is
just one click away. While sick in bed,
have you ever Googled your symptoms
only to discover that it could be Ebola?
Instead of visiting the hairdresser, have
you attempted to follow a tutorial on
YouTube and an hour later realised that
it looks nothing like a French braid? And
finally, have you ever scoured through
Pinterest while trying to plan a major
event and wondered why it didn’t turn
out as expected? Don’t get us wrong the internet is an excellent resource
when conceptualising an event. There
are great thought-starters available to
get you inspired. But behind that image
of a perfectly lit bedouin tent, immaculate seating arrangement and delectable
canapés, there are hours of meticulous
planning. Much like looking up your
symptoms online, at some point you
need the help of a trained professional.
Here are four reasons why it’s essential
to hire an event planner:
1) You’ll save money. That’s right.
Hiring an event planner is cost effective.
Any events management company, like
Event Affairs, that has been around for
years has built solid relationships with
suppliers. We can negotiate the best
prices on your behalf. It’s our job to
ensure that the entire event fits within

your budget. We also understand that
times are tough at the moment, so every
cent counts.
2) The right expertise for the job. This
ain’t our first rodeo. When you’ve been
conceptualising, planning and managing
events for as long as we have, you know
what to expect. Event specialists know
exactly what could go wrong with an
event, and are equipped to deal with it.
3) Less stress, more time. Every event
should be memorable. Let someone

on time. Whether it’s your wedding, a
special birthday or a corporate event,

good time with your guests.
4) We have connections. Especially
