Welcome!

Welcome aspiring and brand new event planners you have just made the first step on your way to a new career. Would you like to start a new career or hone your existing skills? I will literally give you every single tip and trick from my 30+ years in this business.

I have planned and executed hundreds of events with budgets from $3,000 to $350,000. I started in the field doing $50,000 in sales to several million in a short period of time.

I have had countless aspiring event planners ask me questions such as “I would love to do that”, “its my dream job”, “how do you break into the field”, “where do I begin”. I love this one……. “it sounds like so much fun” – yes it certainly can be but you dont want to enter into this business because you think its fun.

It is really hard work. I can tell you this. Here is a checklist for you –

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, jobs for event planners are projected to grow more than 10% by 2026. Let’s face it, meetings, events and weddings aren’t going anywhere. Companies will always have meetings, parties and celebrations, people will always have milestone celebrations, and of course there will always be weddings.

According to the US Department of Labor planners can expect to earn on average $22-23 per hour or approximately $45,000 per year as a fairly new planner with 0-3 years experience. Your earning potential increases as you gain experience in the industry! Most experienced planners will make six figure incomes

Unequivocally event planning is a growing industry, and a very prosperous one at that. For an experienced qualified event planner, the sky’s the limit on what they can achieve both professionally and financially in their career. But like any industry, it’s not a right fit for everyone. Here we’ll discuss the skills and qualities you’ll need to succeed as an event planner, the reasons why you might want to consider it as a career, and some of the mistakes you can avoid on your way up! Before going any further, let’s take a moment to outline the skills that are essential to all successful event and wedding planners.
