Just starting to plan your event? How event planners in Dallas can help

During the beginning stages of event planning, it’s important to determine what level of event planning and support you will need. For example, if you’re planning an elaborate wedding and wedding reception, we strongly encourage you to hire a wedding planner to guide you.

Experienced event planners Dallas can narrow down options to consider—like venues, florists, caterers, photographers, entertainment, etc.—which can be a huge time saver. Top Dallas event planners also know how to match clients with vendors that best suit the style, mood, and theme of an event, as well as the personality and demands of the client.

If you’re planning a large-scale company event for employees or clients, you may also benefit from consulting a few of the corporate event planning companies Dallas has to offer. Since corporate event planners Dallas specialize in planning business-related events, you can expect them to provide terrific insight regarding venues that are easy to work with and those that would be suitable for:

  • The number of guests you plan to host.
  • Easily transporting guests between the venue, hotel accommodations, and the airport.
  • Events that require plenty of onsite parking.
  • The types of activities you will offer, such as team-building events, big parties with professional entertainers (bands, DJs, etc.) or holiday events.
  • Events that require multiple spaces for different activities.
  • Short-notice booking, should another venue fall through (they often know which venues have a date that opened up due to a cancelation).

Not sure where to find a wedding planner or corporate event planners in Dallas? The event coordinators Dallas-based DFW Celebrations employs would be delighted to connect you with reputable party planners Dallas brides, event managers and party hosts have come to trust.

  • Meet with you in advance to discuss decorative preferences, floor plans, seating arrangements, and any special needs.
  • Communicate proactively with your event planner and vendors, so they know what to expect (how far in advance they can set up; when they need to tear down; what amenities they have access to; what items they need to bring, etc.).
  • Be onsite and at your beck and call during your event, so you can focus on enjoying your event and celebrating with guests.

Not planning to hire event planners in Dallas? A few things to consider

While many of our clients benefit from hiring a party planner Dallas event hosts planning smaller-scale events and those who prefer handling their own arrangements can often manage quite nicely without outside help. That being said, we encourage brides, mothers planning over-the-top quinceañeras and other milestone birthdays, and corporate event managers to consider choosing a trusted friend or colleague to help juggle details.

When you’re planning a celebratory event—especially f you’ve never done so before—it really helps to designate a personal attendant, marketing/HR assistant, or another point of contact to act as a buffer to minimize your duties and stress level. As the event host, you’ve worked hard to plan the event and should be able to relax and enjoy yourself when the event finally takes place.

Keep in mind, as a client of DFW Celebrations, you can also count on your dedicated venue coordinator to work closely with you and your point of contact to ensure your event runs smoothly. We’ll keep careful watch over vendors, servers, support staff, and even rowdy guests, so you can focus on what’s important.

Event Planning Tips

1. Don’t procrastinate

The sooner you start fleshing out your wish list for a venue, caterer, and other event services, the less stressful the event planning process will become. Our event pros recommend planning a year or more prior to grand events like weddings, quinceañeras, and sweet sixteens—especially since most event venues need to be reserved far in advance.

While booking venues for smaller, more intimate events may require less advance notice, you don’t want to risk missing out on a preferred venue. This is especially true if you plan to hold your event during high season for weddings, proms, graduations, and holiday events. Play it safe and book a year in advance whenever possible.

2. Create a budget spreadsheet

Whether you use an event planning app or an Excel spreadsheet, putting your budget in writing and tracking every expense and payment is a must. Event hosts are often surprised by how high certain expenses run—particularly flowers, catering, and live bands and DJs. Key expenses you’ll want to track for the venue may include:

  • Banquet hall rental (depending on the package, may include some items below)
  • Catering (food and drink)
  • Décor (graphics, tablescapes, special linens, etc.)
  • Custom centerpieces designed to complement the theme of your unique event
  • Photographer and videographer
  • Security
  • Florist
  • Bartenders and servers
  • Valet parking and/or transportation to and from the venue
  • Entertainment
  • Sound and lighting

3. Seek expert advice

If you’re planning a large event—especially if you’ve never planned one before—hiring an event professional, such as the ones recommended by DFW Celebrations or a wedding planner of your choice, can help simplify the planning process and minimize stress.

Party planners Dallas TX know what it takes to plan and execute successful events. In fact, reputable event planners in Dallas can save you time, minimize stress, and bring ideas to table you may never have considered. They are also well versed when it comes to choosing venues and vendors suitable for your event and take time to stay on top of the latest trends in event planning.

4. Research vendor options

You shouldn’t hire the first caterer you meet or book the first venue you see online. Compare offerings from a few different service providers to help ensure you get all of the options and amenities you desire. Be sure to check references and online reviews before signing vendor contracts. As previously noted, our team would be happy to assist you in vendor selection.

We also recommend spending time getting to know vendors when possible and trusting your gut instinct. If something feels off about venue staff and how they treat you, or a vendor isn’t quick to respond to inquiries or requests, you’re probably better off cutting ties and finding a different service provider.

5. Review contracts closely

If you need to cancel, when is it too late to get your deposit back? Are there any fees for services you assumed would be covered that are not? What damages could you be liable for? What if any penalty fees might the venue charge? When is final payment due? These are but a few of the details you’ll want to consider before signing on the dotted line.

At DFW Celebrations, we believe in full transparency and will gladly walk you through the contract and discuss any questions or concerns you have. Your happiness and complete satisfaction is a top priority for us, so don’t hesitate to contact your dedicated venue coordinator to clarify any details.

6. Expect the unexpected
