Besides hiring a production company to ensure the whole world can enjoy the game from the comfort of their own homes, you also need to ensure people at the game are having a good time.<\/p>\n<p>Picture the Super Bowl. For non-sport fans, the halftime show steals the show! Coordinating the halftime show and making sure it goes without a hitch is a big task. While most events you plan won\u2019t be at that scale, the basics of coordinating entertainment are the same.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Weddings\"><\/span>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Weddings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Weddings are arguably one of the biggest celebrations one can have over the course of one\u2019s lifetime. In fact, there\u2019s a reason why <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2017\/12\/15-stats-show-event-planning-demand\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">weddings are a $76 billion per year industry<\/a>! As weddings become larger affairs, many couples are hiring wedding and event planners to take the reins.<\/p>\n<p>And if a couple wants to plan a destination wedding for 40 people to a country they\u2019ve never been to before? You\u2019ll need to consider travel expenses, tourism programs, travel and medical insurance, and finding an officiant from abroad. And these are just the tip of the iceberg!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Grand_Opening\"><\/span>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Grand Opening<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14644\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/ribbon-cutting-ceremony.jpg\" alt=\"ribbon cutting ceremony\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/ribbon-cutting-ceremony.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/ribbon-cutting-ceremony-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Grand openings for businesses are huge parties celebrating new beginnings. If you\u2019ve ever been one of the first to go to a new restaurant, you\u2019ll know that they often have a soft opening followed by a grand opening. Grand openings are often coordinated efforts with live entertainment and food and drink specials.<\/p>\n<p>For example, many breweries host pop-ups with other restaurants and establishments to really kick things up a notch. With their expertise rested squarely in their food and beverages, they often hire planners to bring their vision into reality.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Product_Launches\"><\/span>4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Product Launches<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In the same vein as a grand opening, tech companies host product launches to celebrate the latest-and-greatest inventions. Invitations go out to key players in the industry, tech executives, press, and influencers. The exclusivity of this event means the hired security team needs to be on its toes. Not to mention the fact that most tech companies aren\u2019t going to readily have licenses for food, drink, music, and video. They\u2019ll need someone with ample party planning experience to ensure every part of the production is carefully planned. The better the event, the better the associated product!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Festivals\"><\/span>5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Festivals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"447\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14642\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/festival-season.jpg\" alt=\"use your event planner certification for festival season\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/festival-season.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/festival-season-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Despite festival season being in the summer months, festivals celebrating art, food, music, and culture occur year round. Even the numerous local county fairs count! Festivals often expect attendance in the tens of thousands, so shutting down streets is often necessary. And many festivals have both entertainment AND food. Coordinating AV equipment, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2017\/12\/top-7-things-consider-planning-community-holiday-party\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">permits, and licenses along with waste management solutions<\/a> can be a headache! Especially since many festivals are free to attend, the best planners know their local regulations by heart.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Charity_Gala\"><\/span>6.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Charity Gala<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Charities often hire professional event planners to ensure their events meet their fundraising expectations. After all, charity galas often feature many \u201cluxury\u201d elements, and the money generated by the event must offset the costs associated with throwing it.<\/p>\n<p>Securing advertising and sponsorships also inject more money into the event. It takes a true professional to ensure that they make enough money to justify the effort. Especially since it would harm the reputation of a charity to spend more money than what they make, it\u2019s necessary to bring a deft and experienced planner on board.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_do_all_these_events_have_in_common\"><\/span>What do all these events have in common?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14643\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/what-can-you-do-with-your-party-planner-certification.jpg\" alt=\"what can you do with your party planner certification\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/what-can-you-do-with-your-party-planner-certification.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/what-can-you-do-with-your-party-planner-certification-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The main goal of these events is celebration.
