HOW AN EVENT IS MANAGED??

Many people think of event managers as wedding or concert planners, but the field of event management involves much more than that. Guests may not notice the work of an event manager at a well-planned event, but they would notice the lack of planning at a chaotic one.

At its most basic, event management is the process of using business management and organizational skills to envision, plan and execute social and business events. People who specialize in event management work with budgets, schedules, and vendors to create the best possible events for their clients.
An event manager will start planning an event by meeting with the client and collecting information about the client's vision of the event. She and the client will develop and event , and discuss the overall concept or theme.
Once the budget is in place, the event manager will finalize the concept for the event, work to line up a location and vendors, and obtain any necessary permissions, permits, and insurance.

A planner's main responsibilities involve keeping track of time during your events, ensuring proper set up as established by the client, managing the wait staff, catering liaison, and other venue-related tasks that are pivotal to the success of the event.

Event managers, on the other hand, are there with you every step of the way. Managers orchestrate all the event details, handle vendors, create and manage budgets and timelines, assist with contract negotiations, and manage the venue selection process.
