Why event planners in Boston are worth a list of your own
Event planners range from freelance wedding planners to agencies running conferences and corporate events. They book venues, suppliers and technology on behalf of clients, so they are both buyers and gatekeepers for many other businesses.
Start with Boston itself and keep Providence, Hartford and New York as separate segments. That way a campaign never reaches the same event planner twice, and you can see at a glance how much of Massachusetts is done.
Most sellers work from a bought list that everyone else has too. A list of event planners in Boston that you built yourself is the one nobody else is emailing yet.
Build your Boston list of event planners in four steps
Every import waits as a concept until you publish it, so nothing lands in your database by accident.
Collect event planners in Boston
Export event planners in Boston from event industry association member lists or wedding and event directories as CSV, or paste the results page into paste and collect.
Import into one lead file
Drop the file into a lead file called Event Planners Boston. Columns are matched for you and duplicates are flagged before anything is saved.
Fill in the missing emails
No email in the export? Tick hello@, info@, events@ and enquiries@ and addresses are derived from each website.
Reach them in small batches
Pick the segment, keep only status New, write one mail with placeholders like {company|your team} and send it in small batches.
Fields worth recording for event planners in Boston
Add these as fields in your lead file. Any column in your import can become a field.
| Field | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Company name | The key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website. |
| Website | Needed to derive an email when the export has none. |
| Event types | Weddings, corporate events and festivals need different suppliers. |
| Event size | Typical guest numbers shape what they book. |
| Area covered | Planners work locally, nationally or abroad. |
| Preferred suppliers | Whether they keep a supplier list you could join. |
| Lead planner | The person who chooses suppliers. |
What slows down prospecting event planners, and the fix
Planners are on site at events and slow to reply.
Open tracking shows who read your mail, so a short follow-up goes only to the interested ones.
Wedding planners and corporate planners are mixed in one list.
Tag event types and save a filter per type.
Relationships grow over several seasons.
Notes and history on each contact keep the context when you reach out again next year.

Read moreEmailing event planners in the US
In the US, commercial email is covered by the CAN-SPAM Act, which does not require prior consent but does require honest sender details and subject lines, a valid physical postal address and a clear way to opt out. Opt-out requests must be honoured within ten business days, and some states add their own privacy rules. This is general information, not legal advice.
Early in the week and outside peak event season are best, since planners are on site most weekends and during busy seasons. Read the deliverability guide before your first send.
Questions people ask
If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as hello@, info@, events@ and enquiries@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.
No. Riftjaw is not a data vendor. You collect the event planners yourself from public sources or your own files and import them. That is why the list is yours and why there is no credit meter on it.
Yes. Put Boston in its own segment, or keep a City field and save a filter such as city contains Boston. You always see which part of the market you already worked.
Reach out outside their peak season with examples of relevant work, then follow up. In Riftjaw you track each step with statuses, tags and notes.
Yes. Add tags or a field for event types and save a filter for each group.
