Book Description

Start Your Own Event Planning Business July 27, 2004

Celebrate All the Way to the Bank

Weddings, parades, fairs, graduations, conferences, political rallies, fashion shows, what do they have in common? Answer: Everyone would rather have someone else plan and conduct them. That someone else can be you, if you're a professional event planner who knows how to design an event, find a location, arrange entertainment, plan transportation, and do the myriad things needed to bring it off successfully.

Start Your Own Event Planning Business, part of Entrepreneur magazine's highly regarded Startup Series, provides all the tools you need to start, run, and grow one of today's most profitable businesses. Why should you buy this book?

  • If you're a highly creative person who likes working with people, event planning is a natural outlet.
  • With gross profits in the 30-to-40 percent range, you can easily earn $50,000 to $100,000 per year planning and conducting events.
  • You can specialize in a variety of areas, including commercial, political, civic, social and personal events.
  • Start Your Own Event Planning Business shows you how to handle everything-conducting market research, choosing a location, financing, buying equipment, finding customers, hiring employees, and much more. It also includes useful sample forms, checklists, and worksheets to guide you through every aspect of the startup process.

If you're good at planning and conducting celebrations, conferences and other events, if you like a flexible schedule, a wide variety of responsibilities and new adventures every week; and you'd like to make a living doing what you enjoy, Start Your Own Event Planning Business is a must-read.

This review is from: Start Your Own Event Planning Business: Your Step by Step Guide to Success (Paperback)
This book was very helpful to me as someone who really doesn't have any event planning training, but is looking to start. It had light humorous moments which made it more enjoyable to read. I also loved the side comments. All in all, I would say anyone looking to work in this field should read this book. It will come in very handy and you can read it over and over again.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent info, September 12, 2005
This review is from: Start Your Own Event Planning Business: Your Step by Step Guide to Success (Paperback)
The information is informative but could be taken with a grain of salt. Also, the book seems to not be absolutely current. I went to a website the book mentioned just to find out it no longer exists.
