What does an event agency do differently from what I'd do myself?

The three biggest advantages of an event agency over doing it yourself:

Supplier relationships: an agency has built relationships with venues, caterers and entertainment companies over hundreds of events. That delivers better deals and more reliable partners, often at sharper prices too. Crisis management: if a venue cancels at the last minute, an agency knows how to arrange an alternative within 24 hours. As an in-house organiser, you don't have those contacts. Fresh eyes: you no longer see your own organisation from the outside. An agency sees what you no longer see, and translates that into an event that feels authentic.
