Hi there,
How I enjoyed architecture when I plan events. Most people don't think anything of it. They enter a building usually trying to get to their destination. Others don't have the time or desire to learn about where they are at. What you are doing. It's I have to do, get, win. Rather than enjoy the moment. That's technology isn't it? That's cars isn't it? The faster the better?
What does a staircase say? Does the staircase say anything. Are you a person who runs up the stairs to see what is down below or are you a person who stars at the bottom and looks up. What does his have to do with event planning? Are the stairs functional for your event or will they just be decor?
Maybe the architect has more than just a thougt or two about what he was doing. Think about it. How long did it take t build the building. From conception to today? This building or staircase wasn't just built. It took lots of studying the land. plans were drawn, designed, redesigned, props models made and models re-made until perfection. Approval. That's when construction was made.
This doesn't happen overnight or in bed. It takes time. It took hundreds of years to build some of the buildings. What seems over night for the concrete building with a minalmust style, Why staircase? Event planning is a little like that. Acts of God shall we say. When you think of how many people are involved. One needs to understand the needs of the client. Spiral can happen when the client is in need, or lacks the understanding of what they are asking of the event planner. Most event planners try their best.
What are signs that the client is spiralling?
- The clients friends and family start calling her (bridzilla), that's what she's called in weddings. In business it's called I'll will. The person is always in a bad mood or stressed. Too much useless information she can't process and theirfore she gets angry with every one.
- You start the planning process and it is change. Colors may change design concept, finances. The client doesn't stick to the original plan.
- The project or event is costing more money than it should. The client is spending more money or the business has to charge the client more money due the fact they keep changing their mind. This happens in interior design all the time. As you design where certain things belong one discovers the intent of the architect.
- When that is discovered then the original plans are put back in place. For the event planner, they then consult their clients to see in they want to proceed with what the building or venue was designed for or they want to create their own floorplan. This where venue negotiations comes in and the event planner cost more money, she has to go against the intended to satisfy her clients wishes.
- The client blames the business for all the things going wrong in their lives. You didn you said remember this, remember that. Instead of staying focused on the event to do list.
- The client trys to involve everyone in the decision making process instead of trusting the research that is being done for them.
- The client desires are not always doable in the venue on choice, therefore leaving flowers whereever they go.

It's important to have trust the person planing the event to understand the architecture of the venue. It's also important to understand the details the client wants and doesn't want. Most of all respect the privacy of the person.
