What Is Event Planning? This question actually breaks down into two questions: What kinds of events are we talking about? And, what is event planning?

 

First things first. Special events occur for the following purposes:

• Celebrations (fairs, parades, weddings, reunions, birthdays, anniversaries)

• Education (conferences, meetings, graduations)

• Promotions (product launches, political rallies, fashion shows)

• Commemorations (memorials, civic events)

 

This list isn't an exhaustive one, but as the examples illustrate, special events may be business related, purely social or somewhere in between.

 

Now we move to the second question: What is event planning?

 

As Event Planner, we may handle any or all of the following tasks related to that event as per request such as:

• Conducting research

• Creating an event design

• Finding a site

• Arranging for food, decor and entertainment

• Planning transportation to and from the event

• Sending invitations to attendees

• Arranging any necessary accommodations for attendees

• Coordinating the activities of event personnel

• Supervising at the site

• Conducting evaluations of the event

 

How many of these activities your business engages in will depend on the size and type of a particular event, which will, in turn, depend on the specialization you choose.

 

Why Do People Hire Event Planners?

This question has a simple answer: Individuals often find they lack the expertise and time to plan events themselves. Independent planners like us can step in and give these special events the attention they deserve.
