Inquiring minds want to know: The Difference Between an Event Coordinator & an Event Planner !
I’ve been asked this multiple times over the last week, so let me give you a little bit of insight!
Event coordinators do not fulfill the same roles as event planners. The two jobs are often mistaken for one another, so let’s talk about the main difference!
An event planner focuses on figuring out the details of an event, while an event coordinator takes those details and makes sure they come to fruition.
So, for example, the event planner will figure out where to host an event, which day it will take place on, aid you in figuring out what vendors you’d like, and who to invite. Then, the event coordinator will make sure the venue is booked for the chosen date and time, the vendors are secured, as well as ensuring that everyone in the invite list receives their invitations as well as making sure the vision comes to life on the day of the event!
These are not the only duties of event planners and coordinators, of course, but I hope that offers some insight into the difference between event coordinators and event planners.

As always, reach out with any questions you may have.
