party planners

Celebration logistics experts

Party planners are people who organize events—birthdays, weddings, corporate gatherings, and other celebrations.

The term covers both professionals who do this for a living and enthusiastic amateurs who volunteer for the task: We hired party planners for the reception.

The work involves coordinating venues, catering, decorations, and entertainment.
