What to know about Corporate event planners
A corporate event planner spends most of their working life on two things that have nothing to do with decor: contracts and liability. The room block, the food and beverage minimum, the attrition clause, the cancellation schedule and the force majeure wording are where the money actually sits, and they are negotiated months before anyone thinks about a menu. A planner who cannot talk you through those clauses is a stylist, which may be what you want, but it is not the same purchase.
