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.

With so many business startup books and specialty books in this industry, I found this book to be informative, easy to read and packed with resources. I would say start here and check the back for references and referrals.

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.

This book does have a lot of general information about the event planning industry. It also give the reader a lot of information from industry heavy hitters. This book is unfornately not for a person who is familiar with or has worked in the industry and are looking to branch out on their own. It is also not a strong suit for those interested in staying more on the social side of event planning. Most of the resources and examples (contracts etc.) are geared to those who are planning large scale events where the customer will be giving you all the money to spend as needed. Overall the authors did their best to tackle such a lofty subject in so few pages. I just don't think they were as sucessful as they could have been.

I found the book to be very informative, not to mention it was a very easy read. It discusses so many points to running your own event planning business that I beleive will be very helpful.

I found the book to be a very good resource on the event planning biz. I would defintely recommend it to others who want an insider view of the event planning industry.

Have good information, but presented in a bland and boring format.

Informative simply written and easy to understand for the beginner. Has tips, forms and checklists.

This book is incredibly informitve, yet conscise enough to read in an afternoon. It has targeted, well documented information and succeedes in giving you a good overview of the industry and the steps you need to take to break into it. There are a few editing errors, as mentioned by another reviewer, but the strength of the content overshadows this minor inconvenience. I reference my copy constantly.

This book is very informative, but some of the information boxes are missing the wording. It cuts off some of the words, so the information is incomplete and makes it hard to follow what is going on.

I want to know who to contact in order to get a better edited copy of this book. I have almost completed reading it, but I would have liked to have received a correctly edited copy of the book that I paid for.

Thank you for listening.
