What contingency measures should a event planner put in place in organizing a successful event?

[King Belieal]

Event planning is a very good business that many people are into now. But some events planners have had battles with clients over failure of events. And most of the times, these failures are a result of the unexpected circumstances even when the event planner had done organisation well.

What contingency measures do event in the planners put in place to avoid failure in their service delivery?

A event planner has to make plans for a sudden change in the weather at the venue of the event. Having that in mind would make the event planner anticipate any failure due to that.

And the same way they supply to you, they also supply to others, so there are times they might have supplied with you need to someone else that came first. Having a backup supplier is best.
