Always confirm the set-up and bump-out times included in the fee, what equipment is provided, music genre flexibility, and whether they hold public liability insurance before booking.
What should I include in a brief to an event planner?
A good event brief should include: the event type (wedding, birthday, corporate, product launch), the date and venue (or help finding a venue), the approximate guest count, your total budget, the general style or theme (formal, relaxed, garden, black-tie), any specific services you need (catering, AV, decor, entertainment), and your timeline for decisions. The more detail you provide upfront, the more accurate the quotes you receive. On TaskerAsker, providers can ask clarifying questions before submitting a written quote.
