Bretta did a fantastic job with our ceremony last month. She met with us beforehand to go over the details of what we would like to include in the ceremony and sent us the script for the ceremony to review prior to the wedding. We wanted to incorporate a hand tying ceremony into the wedding, but we weren't sure if the guests would understand what was going on. Thankfully Bretta was able to incorporate it flawlessly and wrote a ceremony that made my husband and I tear up while reading it. She was easy to work with, professional, and I would definitely recommend her to others.

After hearing about the store in a Joe Bonamassa video, I thought if I ever had the opportunity to visit Indianapolis that I'd check it out! And I was not disappointed... probably the best guitar store I ever visited, full of tradition and equipment. So few of these stores around nowadays. The staff could not have been any nicer and accommodating to me, guitars and amps were aplenty and they had such a huge choice of music books! Forget about the online stores and get over to these guys and try out some guitars for real and these guys will help you find your perfect axe! Plus for musicians and music fans it's such a cool part of Indianapolis to visit and grab a coffee at the nearby vinyl/coffee shop

We used Jen as the wedding coordinator for our son's wedding and as a result, we enjoyed the day as much as the bride and groom! Jen had everything and everyone in the right place at the right time, reviewed and checked all our contracts and ran interference for all the little issues that crop up in between. I'm just sorry we didn't call her sooner. I would recommend her to anyone and I HAVE recommended her to many of our friends.

The dinner was well demonstrated and put together quite remarkably. The tables had to keep guessing about who committed the crime, up until the last minute. To play against New York and Atlanta, and win, with Seattle playing upon us leaving was a definite bonus to help us put our detective goggles on. Poor Poora had to dance while serving dinner to the "Itsy Bitsy Spider", well done.

The staff was nice and gental with the kids. A kid pushed my little guy down and a worker stopped what she was doing to go help him. They were running around playing with the kids but were nice when they had to tell a kid to follow a rule. They took a picture of a building structure but made sure it was okay with the parents that they shared it. They were cleaning during down time. My kids aged 2-11 loved it.

How do I choose my Event Planner?
Following these steps will ensure that you find the right Event Planner for you:
Objective - Before you start your search, you need to work out the event's objective, the budget you are working with, and your reason for hiring externally. You want to be in a position to communicate the broad outline of the event and its most important goals. You will also want to decide on the budget for your event planner and what they will be expected to do. A party planner can select the venue, recommend food and beverage options, source speakers and entertainment, be on-site on the day and create the invitations.
Find your event planner - You want to hire someone who has expertise in creating your type of event. Word of mouth is one way to find an event planner but it's not always the most effective approach. Look out for a company with experience and a strong reputation and do your online research by reading company reviews on Bark.
Interview applicants - Most event planners will be eager to hear about your event. Give them brief details at first and focus on their expertise in the initial round of interviews. Reduce your list of candidates to the three strongest applicants. You should then ask each finalist about their business, their experience with past events, and how they plan for contingencies.
Decision time - Once you have hired a company, the event planner should be able to share a detailed plan for the event with you.
Budget - Many people who organise an event for the first time want a champagne event on a beer budget. You need to work together to come up with a realistic budget. Plus, do not forget to find out about the fees that will be charged by the event planner and how they will be incorporated into the budget.
Follow up - Make sure you stay on top of the event planning and do not force the event management expert to make major decisions without your input.
You can be confident that any of the Bark local event planners listed will give you a reliable and professional service.
How do I check my Party Planner’s credentials?
There is no formal training required to be an event planner, although they usually have a degree or certificate from a university in event planning or management.
Before you choose an event planner, it's always worth checking out their customer reviews on their website and Bark profile. This ensures that they are trustworthy and reliable.
Can I get an Event and Party Planner online?
Absolutely! Whether it's finding the best DJ or getting your catering sorted, your event and party planner will be able to organise pretty much every aspect of the event online. You can even find the perfect venue through interactive virtual venue tours - pretty neat stuff!
