🎪Event Planners

What to ask a event planner

1. 1Have you planned events like mine (traditional engagement, owambe, naming ceremony)? Can I see them?
2. 2Do you do full planning, partial planning, or day-of coordination only?
3. 3Which vendors do you usually work with, and are you paid commissions by them?
4. 4How many events do you run in a month, and who is on site on my day?
5. 5What is your payment schedule and cancellation policy?
