What Exactly Does an Event Planner Do?

When the term event planner comes to mind, many people imagine someone setting up decorations, organising seating arrangements, or handling last-minute hiccups on event day. While these are all part of the role, the scope of what an event planner does extends far beyond what meets the eye.

An event planner is the architect of seamless experiences, taking on the complexities of event planning, management, logistics, and execution to ensure every element of an event comes together perfectly. At Right Angle Events, we see our role as not just delivering events but crafting experiences that embody professionalism, creativity, and reliability – values at the core of everything we do.

What Does an Event Planner Actually Do?

An event planner or event coordinator is your guide through the maze of event logistics, offering expertise and clarity to ensure your vision becomes reality. Whether it’s a corporate conference, party, or product launch, here’s a glimpse into what we manage:

Planning & Logistics: From creating timelines to budgeting and coordinating suppliers, we map out every detail to keep your event on track. Our event management expertise ensures nothing is overlooked.

Vendor Management: We liaise with trusted suppliers, such as decorators, technical or videography teams, and entertainment providers to being your vision to life.

On-Site Coordination: On the event day, our organisers are there to manage schedules, troubleshoot issues, and oversee setup. Whether it’s styling details or full-scale events with audio visual production, we ensure everything runs like clockwork. From corporate conferences to corporate parties, we handle the details so you can enjoy your event.

Creative Solutions: From designing innovative layouts to overcoming unexpected challenges, our planners bring creativity and adaptability to every event.

Post-Event Wrap-Up: We handle the evaluations, payments, and feedback collection, leaving you free to focus on celebrating success.

Why Choose an Event Planner?

Many of our clients come to us because they’re facing a common set of challenges:

  • They don’t know where to start or how to structure their event planning timelines and budgets.
  • They’re overwhelmed by supplier options and industry jargon.
  • They lack the manpower or expertise to ensure smooth execution.

Working with a professional event agency or organiser not only eliminates these pain points but also adds a layer of trust and professionalism to your event. You get to focus on engaging with your attendees while we handle the behind-the-scenes complexities.

Real Expertise in Action

Recently, we worked with a client managing an event across international borders. With decision-makers overseas, translation challenges, and a tight four-week timeline, we had our work cut out for us.

One major hurdle was navigating approvals for a large volume of print materials – banners and backdrops – all during overlapping public holidays in Australia and overseas. Our team of event planners worked tirelessly, coordinating with print teams and ensuring files were ready to go despite the time constraints.

The result? A successful opening ceremony delivered on time, with everything running smoothly. This event was a testament to the power of preparation, adaptability, and teamwork – hallmarks of a skilled event coordinator.
