How We Work
It is very important to us that your planning experience be as enjoyable as the event itself.
Creation
We facilitate the entire process by providing one-stop event planning and management services that encompass everything from initial concept development and presentation to production implementation and execution.
Whether designing a wedding or coordinating a corporate event, we begin with the genesis of the event and account for your personal “DNA”, company culture or brand message followed by the event details. This includes the number of guests and days, site specifications, time of year and structural elements. We then design an experience surrounding all aspects. We apply our five-senses approach from concept through completion to ensure that everything you smell, touch, taste, see and hear resonates with your guests. The message that we aim to convey should create a memorable and lasting impression.
Partners
As one of the premier events and wedding planning companies in Gauteng and other major cities, The Event Planner has developed a network of the best and most suitable creative partners for all event types. While we value and nurture relationships with our existing partners and seek to consistently help them perform better, we also continue to expand our relationships with new partners across a number of services. We take the guesswork and uncertainty out of working with unknown partners by carefully vetting each one to ensure the quality of their service and /or product, ensuring that their commitment to our event is consistent with our standards.
Budgeting
We are often asked, “How much will my event cost?” The short answer is as little, or as much, as your budget allows it to be.
Event costs can vary quite a bit depending on the degree of detail, number of guests, event length and what is selected within each category. We help guide you to decisions in each of these areas using your budget as a framework. As leading event planners in we know how to work with your budget and stretch it as far as it will go.
