What Is Full-Service Event Planning?

Full-service event planning gives you an experienced team to manage the moving pieces behind your event from start to finish.

As a Columbus event planning company, A Table Affair helps clients throughout Central Ohio research venues, source vendors, collect proposals, negotiate contracts, organize payment deadlines, and coordinate communication with third parties.

Whether you are planning a corporate event, executive dinner, wedding, or private celebration, our goal is to keep the planning process organized and make sure every detail moves forward with intention.

Clients remain responsible for signing vendor contracts and making payments directly to each vendor, while our team helps organize the process, communicate expectations, and keep important deadlines on track.
