Tips for Becoming a Successful Event
                    Planner

While event planning can be a rewarding career, you will not realize those rewards until you
become a successful event planner. Since it generally takes some experience until you can
become a successful event planner, it will take some time before you can feel good about the
work you are doing. To help speed up your learning curve when it comes to being a quality
event planner, here are a few tips you can use to help get your career started on the right foot.



Get Organized

The first thing you should do when looking to become a successful event planner is to get
organized. If you are unorganized, it will be difficult for you to properly plan every aspect of a
large event while making sure everything goes off without a hitch. The best way to properly
prepare for the work that needs to be done in order to ensure your event goes exactly as
planned it so be as organized as possible.



Using a spreadsheet to coordinate all of your vendor contacts and dates for a specific event is
one way you can help yourself get organized. Another way is to keep separate files for each
event you are planning and take detailed notes of the work that you have done and what else
needs to be planned. By having a well thought out plan of what needs to be done in order to
plan an event, you will be able to cross off each task that you complete as you go along, helping
you reach your end goal.



Network

A big part of being an event planner is networking. Not only should you be constantly
networking in order to land more clients if you own your own event planning business, but you
should also be continuously networking to meet new vendors. When you are able to meet new
vendors, you will have a long list of resources you can contact to help you plan an event. With
this type of vendor list, you will easily be able to shop around for the best vendor prices,
helping your clients stay within their budget.
Improve Attention to Detail

In addition to being organized, a successful event planner pays great attention to detail. Since
every little aspect of an event can have a huge impact on the success of that event, you need to
pay close attention to every detail when you are in the planning stages. This will help ensure
that every aspect of your event is planned perfectly without any oversights, which will help
improve your chances of hosting the perfect event.



If you do not think you pay good attention to detail, you can start practicing in your own life by
meticulously planning your weekend activities. When planning your weekend events, you can
use this time to hone your skills and practice paying better attention to detail, making sure
nothing is omitted from your plans.



While it is easier to become a successful event planner after you have had years of real world
experience, there are a few ways you can increase your chances of early success. Getting
organized, networking to find new clients and vendors and improving your attention to detail
are some of the ways you can help yourself succeed as an event planner from day one.
