Evolution of Event Management

The way we celebrate our special days has changed a lot during the past few years. It requires a time travel to understand the way how Keralites celebrated their special days. This topic struck me when I saw an old photo album of my parents’ wedding. For the sake of interest, we can time travel through the past 20 years on how the event management transformed. In the past, the wedding day management was a friendly game. All neighbours were involved in the entire process. The process starts from wedding invitation to the actual event day. It was a game of taking ownership and showing commitment towards the family which is organizing the event. It was fun! People used to enjoy making pandal, decorating their houses and preparing the bride-to-be/groom-to-be, making food etc. It was a team effort. Yes, it was fun! Years passed. We have been enjoying it, yet something was missing. All were busy organizing the events but forgot to enjoy the actual event. Our old neighbour event organizers were not professional event organizers. Our houses became smaller and there were not enough space to organize any events. People got relocated to other places and thus we have got less people to help us in organizing the events. Since the number of houses increased it became difficult to manage the waste after hosting the events. The event management system was evolving and was in the course for a change. We were getting closer to other cities in India. In those cities, the life events have been managed by professionals or professional companies. The cities in Kerala have already evolved to adopt that kind of a professional approach to event management. That is the reason why we have been seeing a rise in event management companies over the past decade. Now event management companies are making us forget about the management part of our life event thus helping us enjoy our special occasion to the fullest. There are some real advantages of involving event management companies in our life events. These companies are well trained and experienced, and they can approach the event management part more professionally than individuals. Their approach to an event is a kind of professional team work unlike the teamwork (friends and relatives) what we have seen in the past. Event management companies make sure that our special day celebrations are within our budget. They plan our life events professionally ahead of time so that there aren’t any last-minute surprises and they will make sure event is full of fun. Most of the event management teams organize artistic events on our special days which were very rare in the olden days. Most of the event management teams have good relationship with top rated vendors and they will make sure that the event owner is getting the most within their budget. Now in this generation of mobile and web applications, event management has went up a notch. With these event management websites, the future of event management is bright, hassle-free and joyful.
