Pittsburgh Planners — Common Questions
We want photographs at several viewpoints. What does that cost us in time?
More than the map suggests. Bridges, tunnels and hills mean a short distance can take a long while, and inclines and overlooks have parking that a shuttle cannot use. Somebody should drive the whole route at the hour you plan to drive it, then cut a location. Two places done calmly photograph better than four done at a run.
Our ceremony is at a church and the reception is in a hall or club. What is the work?
The gap and the transport. The church fixes the hour and often the rules on music and photography; the hall has its own start, kitchen and end time. Between them sits an hour or two that needs designing rather than enduring, and older guests need a way across town that does not involve finding parking twice.
Our venue is a converted industrial space by the river. What is not included?
Generally a working kitchen, restroom capacity for a full list, climate control that holds a crowded room in summer, and lighting after dark. There is often a load-in window rather than a day, and a neighbor who can complain about noise. All of that turns into a rental order and an arrival sequence written months out.
Do the sports and event calendars matter?
For hotel rooms, traffic and parking, yes. A home game or a large downtown event changes what your guests pay and how long their drive takes on the day. Check the calendar before you sign the venue contract, and if it overlaps, hold rooms early and give guests a route and a parking plan rather than an address.
How do we decide between full planning and coordination?
By how much of the room is unbuilt. A hotel or a club with its own kitchen and floor plan can be a fair coordination job. A raw riverside space is not, because the decisions that make it work — power, rentals, arrival order — happen long before a coordinator would arrive. Partial planning from the rental stage is the honest middle.
