Differences Between an Event Planner and an Event Producer

SARAO Event Planning & Production • 18 de diciembre de 2023

Both event planners and event producers play key roles in the event organization industry, but there are notable differences in their responsibilities and approaches:


Event Planner:

  • Overview: The event planner focuses on the overall vision and strategic planning of the event. They collaborate with the client to understand their goals and needs.
  • Logistics and Details: Their primary focus is on logistics and detail management, including venue selection, vendor coordination, budget management, and activity scheduling.
  • Client and Communication: Maintains close communication with the client to ensure that the event vision is effectively translated into reality. They are responsible for meeting client expectations.
  • Before the Event: Their work primarily revolves around the planning and preparation phase before the event. They are often not as involved in the execution of the event itself.


Event Producer:

  • Event Execution: The event producer focuses on the execution of the event itself. They coordinate and oversee all operational aspects during the event to ensure everything runs smoothly.
  • Real-Time Management: Works in real-time to address any issues or changes that may arise during the event. They handle problem-solving quickly and effectively.
  • Team Coordination: Directs and coordinates production teams, including technicians, support staff, and vendors, to ensure the smooth flow of the event.
  • After the Event: Sometimes, the event producer may also be involved in the post-event phase, evaluating performance and gathering feedback for future improvements.


Additionally, SARAO, as an event producer, can carry out construction of decorations for event theming.

In summary, while the event planner focuses on strategic planning and pre-event details, the event producer concentrates on execution and real-time management during the event itself. Both roles are crucial for the overall success of an event and often work closely together.
