A question I am frequently asked is: what is the difference between an Event Designer and an Event Planner? Sandra Downie, wedding & party designer, dessert table stylist, and editor of The White Library based in Connecticut posted a great explanation of the two and how one or a combination of both can relieve some of the stress in materializing your vision.
"Event planners are all about the “logistics for the day”. Who is the DJ, when will the florist arrive? How many rooms do I need to block at the local hotel for the out of town guests? Event Designers on the other hand are all about the “look and feel for the day”. Does this flower go with the rustic outdoor event the Bride wants? Is lighting going to make a difference in the ballroom? What color linens look best for this type of venue? Event planners are especially good at making sure everything is going OK the day of and for getting your vendors in order, but the beauty of an Event Designer is to ensure that your big day has a cohesive and well put together look. From invitations, to flowers to linens and lighting, Wedding Designers get to really reflect you as a couple and to help to tell your story the way you want it. Hope this helps making your wedding day decisions a lot easier."
