How to Choose an Event Planner

Planners in Perth fall into two camps: corporate event companies that run conferences, galas, launches and brand activations, and wedding planners who handle the day from venue search to the last dance. They work very differently, so start with the kind of event before comparing anyone.

A spread-out city adds its own planning job. Guests may live from Joondalup to Rockingham, and a venue in the Swan Valley needs a transport plan to get people home.

Before you speak to a planner, decide:

The type of event, the guest count and a realistic total budget, including the planner's fee.
How much help you want: full planning, partial planning or coordination close to the date.
Whether you already have a venue, or want the planner to source one.
Who makes final decisions, so the planner knows whose sign-off to wait for.
Any dates that can't move, such as a financial year end or a school holiday.

Wedding planning on this page starts from $3,500 and $5,900; corporate planners usually quote once they see the brief. You can go straight to corporate event planners or browse planners focused on private celebrations under event management.

Full planning covers concept, venue search, supplier bookings, budget tracking and the day itself.
Partial or collaborative planning suits people who have booked the big pieces and want help with the rest.
Coordination close to the date means the planner takes over your plans in the final weeks and runs the day.
Ask exactly how many meetings, site visits and hours on the day each level includes.

Perth-specific things a planner should raise

Summer is the busy stretch, so popular venues and suppliers go early for those months.
Outdoor events between December and March need shade, water and a heat plan for guests.
Winter brings most of the rain, so any outdoor ceremony or activation needs a covered back-up.
Venues in the Swan Valley or the Perth Hills sit at the city's edge, so plan coaches or rides home.

What to ask before signing

Which suppliers the planner works with often, and whether you are free to use your own.
Whether the planner takes commissions from suppliers, and how that is shown in your budget.
Who turns up on the day, and what happens if that person is sick.
How changes to scope are priced once the contract is signed.

Event Planning: What People Ask

What does an event planner charge in Perth?

Wedding planning on this page starts from $3,500 and $5,900, depending on the level of help. Corporate planners usually quote once they have seen your brief and budget.

Is a corporate planner different from a wedding planner?

Yes. Corporate planners run conferences, galas, launches and activations, often with their own production and registration systems; wedding planners focus on the couple, the venue and the day.

Which parts of Perth do these planners cover?

The planners on this page cover the nine metropolitan regions, from the Northern Beaches to the Swan Valley. None list the Perth Hills or Mandurah, so ask before you book a venue there.

Can a Perth planner help find a venue?

Most full-service planners will source venues as part of the job. Give them your guest count, budget and preferred area to start.

Is coordination close to the date worth it if I've planned everything myself?

Often, yes. A coordinator takes over supplier calls and the run sheet in the final weeks so you are not managing it on the day.

How early should I bring in a planner for a Perth summer event?

As early as possible, since summer and the school holidays are when venues and suppliers are most in demand.
