“I like to think outside the box and try to make each party different. Working off the personalities of my clients and within a given budget, I like to add all the hoopla that makes an event more memorable. That can mean living statues, fire, extra entertainment, beautiful people, dancers, amazing creative food, different types of photo booths, etc. Decor and production mean a lot to me in the sense that it shows who you are as a person.

For example, a soccer fan might have a very themed soccer-produced bar mitzvah or a bride might want to move away from a ballroom and have her wedding at a vineyard, loft, under a tent, or in a barn. I love seeing my clients at ease, having fun, making extraordinary memories with their guests.” – LISA IVLER

Thinking about hiring an event planner?

Here are a few “fast facts”. As a northern New Jersey event planning company, my team works with clients on everything from creative concepts to execution.

A planner is often part of an event’s theme design. However, a planner is also involved in the important logistics of preparing and monitoring the event’s budget, helping with vendor selection and coordination, designing the event timeline, and day-of-event coordination.

You’ll avoid planning pitfalls and forgetting key details which can drive up costs significantly. All your vendors will be on the same page with clear instructions from one key contact. And with things running smoothly, you’ll enjoy your event with confidence.

A day-of wedding coordinator is hired specifically to seamlessly manage the event. A DOC keeps the DJ, venue manager, and photographer in the timeline loop assembles the wedding party, sets out and packs up personal items and decor, and handles any issues that may occur.

Costs vary depending on the scope of services, event size, and the planner’s experience. Full-service planning typically ranges from $3,000 to $10,000 or more, while day-of coordination might cost between $1,500 and $3,000. Many planners offer customizable packages to fit your needs.

For weddings or large-scale events, booking an event planner 12 to 18 months in advance is best. Smaller events like birthday parties or corporate gatherings can often be planned in a shorter time frame, but booking early ensures availability and thorough preparation.

Yes! Event planners are skilled at creating and helping you stick to a budget. They’ll prioritize your must-haves, suggest cost-effective options, and find vendors that align with your financial plan.

Many planners are willing to take on last-minute events, though availability may be limited. Be prepared to act quickly, and know that a shorter timeline may require flexibility with your choices.

Experienced event planners are well-versed in local regulations, including permits, noise restrictions, and capacity limits. They’ll handle these details to ensure your event complies with all rules and runs smoothly.
