Why Hire an Event Conuslting Firm

One of the questions I get asked the most when approaching a prospective client is why do I need to hire your company?  Great question!  Hiring Capitol Event Firm to help facilitate and produce your events will serve to be quite beneficial on many fronts.  

1.  Cut Overhead-Everyone these days are looking for ways to help their overall budget.  When hiring a consultant firm (like Capitol Event Firm) you are cutting out all the costs associated with hiring a full-time employee (salary, benefits, office space, office equipment and supplies, taxes, training etc.).  When you hire a consulting firm you pay out one check and we start working for you right away!

2.  Specific Needs-When a non-profit group or corporation needs to hire an event consultant it is usually because there is a specific event that needs to be planned.  Capitol Event Firm has a team of event specialists with highly specialized knowledge in the event industry.  We will be able to execute an event from start to finish without any need for training and without taking up your valuable time.

3.  Save Money-It may seem counter-intuitive to some but hiring an event consultant can actually save you money.  You are only paying for the services that you need and once our services have been rendered we move on to our next event.  It is our job to know what vendor, venue, contractor is needed to execute your event in a timely, efficient manner within YOUR budget.  Lastly, we do bulk event business which means we have more negotiating power with hotels, special event venues, event-related contractors.  Recently, when scouting venue locations for a conference a hotel quoted our future client $189/night for a hotel block of 100 rooms for 2 nights.  Later on I was able to get that same room for them at $149/night.  This saved the client roughly $8000 (before tax) with one phone call from us.  At Capitol Event Firm we take pride in passing along our discounts to our clients and not keeping them to ourselves!

4.  The Gift of Time-Our team of event professionals take care of all the details from preliminary budget drafts, venue selections, contract negotiating, event facilitation, and staffing!  This allows you and your team to enjoy the actual event. 

5.  Peace of Mind-It is our job to try and see 2-3 steps ahead in the entire planning process so that when and if a crisis occurs we have the tools to either avert the problem or manage the problem as it comes up. 

6.  Extension to Your Current Event Team-many companies and agencies nowadays have their own event person.  At Capitol Event Firm we love working with other event professionals and can be the perfect event extension to your current event team.

Let us know how we can help plan YOUR next event.

As always we hope you have an eventful day!
