Who hasn’t organized an event at some point, no matter how small? Recently, we celebrated my third child’s birthday. During the planning, I had an interesting realization: at some point, we’ve all organized some type of event. Whether it’s our children’s birthdays, a close friend’s wedding, Christmas dinners, or school reunions, we’ve all been there, meticulously managing events—big or small. Sometimes we succeed, and other times we encounter more stress than we anticipated.
This got me thinking about our industry as event organizers. As the General Manager of KMJK, a corporate event production company and event management company with years of experience, I know that with the resources and expertise we have, we can make these events much better and, surprisingly, at a lower cost. However, I understand why many people or companies prefer to handle their corporate event organization on their own—they think they’ll save money and believe it’s “something they can handle.” After all, who hasn’t organized their own personal celebrations? It’s a sentiment we all share.
So, what can a professional event organizer bring to those who already have experience organizing their own parties?
Large event management companies know the market inside out and understand when something is overpriced or a good deal. We have the ability to negotiate preferential rates, secure discounts on venues, catering, audiovisuals, and more. At KMJK, we own our equipment (audiovisual, catering, structures, transportation, etc.), which allows us to offer direct costs without the need for intermediaries.
While many people are excellent planners, the reality is that most are not 100% efficient. This can lead to oversights, booking errors, or poor vendor choices, ultimately resulting in higher costs due to last-minute service contracts. With a professional event organizer, everything will be in place and on time.
Having an event manager means you’ll only need to coordinate with one person, allowing you to enjoy the event as just another participant. The reality is that when you organize something yourself, you end up stressed and don’t enjoy it as much as you should. A professional ensures that everything goes perfectly, so you only have to worry about having a good time.
Our experience guarantees that nothing is overlooked. From invitations to the necessary permits, a professional event organizer takes care of everything, so you don’t have to worry about details that could be forgotten.
As a corporate event production company with a consolidated network of allied suppliers, we know exactly who to turn to when we don’t have a resource in-house. This allows us to organize events in record time without sacrificing quality or detail. For someone who isn’t used to this, the planning stage can be very time-consuming—time that could be better spent on other key areas of your business.
The next time you think about organizing an event for your company, remember that hiring a professional event management company can not only save you money but also give you the peace of mind to enjoy it to the fullest.
