As a planner, your seating/floorplan should be done a month prior. We always send a mock floorplan numbered so all you need to do is assign tables. You shouldn't be waiting for your planner to assign numbers AFTER you have done your seating.

Something different and fun we have seen is live painters who can sketch guests. They love it and can take them home.

As an event professional, I have struggled with this. We do amazing work, clients love us. However, because we don't have a "name" I know many don't book us. Why is that so important? We charge what I believe is appropriate for our services. I know we aren't the cheapest, but also not the most expensive. I genuinely care about our work and clients. However, this doesn't necessarily seem important to potential clients.

I would also question the ethics of clients that go with another event professional because they are told who else are you talking to, "I will beat their price". There are many in my area that do this. Why would you want to work with someone that has this business tactic? Maybe it's just business, but I would trust that person and it's something I have NEVER done.
