An initial consultation with an event planner is an opportunity for the planner to learn more about your event and your vision for it. During the consultation, the event planner will ask questions to gather information about your event, including the date, location, budget, guest list, and any special requests or requirements. They will also discuss their services and pricing, and answer any questions you may have. The initial consultation is a chance for both you and the event planner to determine if you are a good fit for each other and to begin building a working relationship.
