hire event planners in africa

You hire an event planner when a launch, conference, wedding season or corporate gathering needs one person to own every detail. A good planner keeps the budget tight, the vendors on time and the day running so smoothly that guests only remember the experience.

A few questions, one at a time, then pick a time for a 30-minute strategy call with our team.

What to check when screening

  • Ask for a portfolio of past events, with their size and the role they played.
  • Check how they build and follow an event budget.
  • Look for a solid network of venues, caterers and technical suppliers.
  • Confirm they can work long hours and weekends around event dates.

Questions to ask in interview

  • The caterer cancels two days before the event. What do you do?
  • How do you build a run sheet for a day with several speakers and venues?
  • Tell us about an event that went over budget. What did you change next time?

Skills to look for

  • Event budgeting
  • Vendor negotiation
  • Run sheets and timelines
  • Venue and logistics management
  • Guest management
  • Canva and design tools
