When it comes to events, having an expert by your side is an asset and not a waste of time. However, I am not here to convince you to buy a pen if you think you do not need it—unless you do… and are not aware of it yet, at least at the conscious level. Then, maybe these ten points will open your eyes to the idea of hiring me, of course, as your award-winning event consultant.
10 Reasons to Hire an Event Consultant Like Sharon Bonner
Award Winning Event Experience
Starting out strong, I have 37 years of experience and more than 50 awards—I have almost lost count, and that is not even including nominations. As an event consultant, I built Bright Ideas Event Agency from the ground up, setting industry standards for many years.
Knowledgeable
As I have been in the game for so long, I have faced almost every situation you could imagine—and even some you could not. I have dealt with so many setbacks, obstacles, and success stories. I am the definition of ‘been there, done that’ to the point that I could plan an entire event production with my eyes closed.
Resourceful
Name any vendor in town, and I would pull a Julia Roberts—like in that 2000s movie Erin Brockovich, where she memorized the whole town’s personal information. Well, maybe not memorized by heart, but heck, most likely, I have worked with or spoken to them at some point.
Event Planning Expertise
Creating events is my expertise—from large-scale productions to small private gatherings, from product launches to celebrations of life or any type of corporate event, I have done them all. As an event consultant, I can coordinate an entire event production from 0 to 110%, so rest assured that when planning your own event, you will never feel lost with me by your side.
Budget Conscious
Managing budget is almost like a piece of cake for me. I will make sure that not only you get your vision straight, save you money, and that return-on-investment chart will be off the roof.
Innovative Event Consultant
Ask anyone—my team, clients, family—all would say, ‘Sharon, to the bone, the most creative individual we have ever encountered.’ That is no secret that my greatest skill is being innovative. I am always full of ideas and almost like a talent to see a way in any situation. Whatever your heart desires, I am like a genie to make it come true—that is the type of person I am.
Detail Oriented
It is all about the details. Having a second pair of eyes look through any contracts, policies, or anything insurance-related is a must. The fine print is what gets us in trouble. I have worked with plenty of hotels, vendors, and venues. I always recommend an event audit to go through all details necessary to reassure that you are covered from any mishaps and to get the most out of any contract.
Sustainable Event Consultant
Did I mention I have an event production company too? So it is obvious that I will have stock. Why buy new when there is a more sustainable option of reusing what is already there? Mind you, that is definitely much more cost-effective, and if you do need something special, most likely I know how to get it without compromising the Earth or your pocket.
Reliable
Let us face it, with so many years in the industry, I have much more to lose than any starting professional. I have a name to keep up with, a legacy to continue that will stand for centuries to come. Also, I know who and what to avoid for a successful event… without any further details.
Honest
Unless you are asking for the moon and stars, I would tell you right away if it is possible or not. But for your knowledge, in one of our award-winning events, we got a real-time Eiffel Tower—well, not in its full size (France did not allow our helicopters to pick it up), but more of a mini one, enough to make an impact and get it indoors.
