Why would someone use an Event Planner?
Our lives seem to get busier as the years go by despite the advancement of technology, where we are being offered more time saving devices. People choose now to outsource parts of their life that they either don’t have time for or cannot manage on their own. Businesses are using Event Planners to manage their corporate events, plan conferences and organise travel details. Couples use Wedding Planners to arrange their special day and even families are using Party Planners to organise special events in their lives.
Event and Party Planners take the stress out of an event. They organise all the details, liaise with suppliers and ensure the event runs smoothly. With these areas under control, it allows the client to have the freedom to do what they need to, give their input where necessary and most importantly to enjoy the event.
Would I make a good Event/Party planner?
Organisation
One of the most important qualities for an Event Planner is to be organised. Attention to detail is extremely important for one wanting to pursue this exciting career.
Creative
Party and event planning gives you a job which screams creativity. You get to be in control of everything, from the tiny details to the huge ones. You get to be in charge! You need to be sure that you can offer the client what they are looking for. Without creativity you will struggle in this industry. Some people are born creative and others need to nurture this area. Reading interior design and craft magazines, visiting stores and researching your industry will encourage the growth of creativity in you.
A great Event Planner is enthusiastic about developing themes and ideas for any event. Most clients will come to you having no idea on how they want their event to look. A great Event Planner will take the initiative and offer their personalised ideas as well as source suppliers who can offer their clients many options for any event.
