Hiring an event planner in Bangladesh
Brand and government teams searching for an event planner are asking for live storytelling with production discipline — not décor first. Azizul Hoque Shiplu's consultancy is typically BDT 1.2–6.5 lakh. Venue, catering and fabrication sit at cost. Proof: IFAD / Ashok Leyland landmark, US Embassy National Day, BSEZ, Rooppur.
What "best" actually means for an event planner
Not the most elaborate stage design. It means a minute-by-minute run-of-show with a named person who can make a call if the schedule slips, not a vendor coordinator improvising on the day. It means understanding that a protocol room — a state visit, a national ceremony — runs on someone else's fixed clock, with no room for a second attempt. And it means knowing when décor is decoration and when it's actually carrying the brand's story; the two get confused often.
How to actually compare event planners
Four questions worth asking before committing a date. Can you show a real run-of-show document from a past event, not a mood board of past work? Have you run a protocol-grade event with fixed timing set by someone else — a government visit, a diplomatic occasion — and can that be named? Is rehearsal built into your quote as a line item, or treated as optional if time allows? And who has authority to make a live call if something changes mid-event — you, or does that sit with a client representative who isn't actually in the room running it?
Proof, named
Diplomatic rooms do not forgive the first run. Rehearsal is in the quote. IFAD / Ashok Leyland landmark, US Embassy National Day, BSEZ, Rooppur — each a fixed-date occasion with no reshoot available. Activations (mall, trade, touring devices) are a different page.
