An event consultant is a behind-the-scenes expert who helps clients plan and execute events with clarity, ease, and professionalism. From selecting venues and coordinating vendors to managing timelines and troubleshooting issues, an event consultant can help with setting up a private party, wedding, fundraiser, or corporate function. An Event Consultant is not an Event Planner. A consultant offers advice, secures the venues, and coordinates with the vendors with orders and deliveries. An event planner oversees the physical logistics of the event, timing, decorations, table layout, seating, etc.
In many cases, consultants like Stephanie Harris are reimbursed directly by the venues they work with, making their services both valuable and cost-effective. With the right consultant, your event becomes less stressful and more successful by getting the right people and services in place.
