Planner? Coordinator? Travel Advisor?
When planning a milestone event such as a wedding, special birthday, anniversary celebration, Mitzvah, or planning a trip of a LIFETIME, etc., you are encouraged to hire a professional event planner, coordinator, or travel advisor.
A planner and a coordinator have different roles. What are the differences? A planner will support the event from the beginning to the end of your event. The planner will pay special attention to detail and help bring every aspect of the event together, such as providing recommendations for the perfect venue, hiring the best vendors, and carrying out the event's vision.
A coordinator does not necessarily plan the event, instead, a coordinator supports the day of an event already planned. The coordinator ensures the day of the event flows and everything goes as planned.
Travel agent sells and arranges transportation, accommodations, tours or trips for travelers.
The cost of hiring a professional planner or coordinator may vary based on the type of service you require and can oftentimes include the number of guests. Each planner or coordinator’s service offerings may be different, so make sure your needs match the services outlined in your package or contract.
Whether you hire a planner, coordinator, or travel advisor, choose someone focused, organized, and resourceful. At the end of the day, the ultimate goal is to ensure you have a once-in-a-lifetime event.
