First of all you need to know that there are different types of events companies. There is no official document or guideline that clearly lists the type of companies within the events industry. This is purely based on our past experience and interactions between the different companies. Here is a list of the different types of event companies:
- Events Management Company
These are companies that assist you with everything you need to make your event a success. These are companies that offer a full turn key solution. They will choose a venue for you, help with catering, find a technical solution for your event, assign a technical company to your event, transport and a whole lot more.
With Events Management Companies you can come with an idea and they will guide you with themes and propose different ideas. The process is very simple and easy. You will get fast results and have a budget proposal within 48 hours after they received all reliant information.
- Wedding/ Events Coordinator
Coordinators typically outsource most of the work although there are a few companies that can offer most of the services that an events management company can offer. They are costly but they give you the piece of mind and you can be sure that everything will be on time and too your specification.
Coordinators are creative and like to make each event or function unique. they like to add in a little extra flare or that something new. Process can be lengthy as they would sometimes need to have items made up for your event and could take up to a week to get a budget proposal.
Specialized Company
Specialized companies are companies that focus on one area of an event. These are companies like: Sound Companies, Decor Companies and Entertainment Booking Agents. When working with specialized companies they normally have a very good idea of what it is their client wants and can offer a the right products for an events. A word of caution if you have not worked on an event with these companies they can be costly or offer services that you might not necessarily need. They very good at what they do but tend to sell more than needed.
With Specialized companies you need to know what you want and they will help you with what you want within their field of expertise. Process can be quick depending on the workload as specialized companies are generally run by the owner and they prefer to be hands on. Budget proposals can be delayed. Some of these companies can sent budget proposals within a hour.
