HOW TO BECOME AN EVENT PLANNER?

Some people are the wallflowers at a part whereas some are the social butterflies. There are some people who double dip too and are highly frowned upon by society. But you, as an event planner, are different. You don’t just go to the party; you throw the party.

With good organizational skills, creativity, and good communication skills, you are already half way there. Here are some tips on how you can become an event planner:

Event planning is all about being an all-rounder. The roles of an event planner are

• Managing the goals and expectations of clients

• Planning the scope of the event, cost, time, and location

• Venue inspection based on the client’s requirements

• Meet the client’s mission and vision, designing and monitoring activities

• Manage the budget, review bills, and approve payments

The work of an event manager isn’t confined to just this list. In fact, they oversee managing and coordinating every aspect of planning an event.

Event Planning Degree or Certification

The most common question people ask is whether they need a degree for event planning. The answer to that is, no they don’t. Currently, no universities offer degree programs for event planning. However, you can always opt for event planning certifications and diplomas to understand the field better.
