Since I started my professional entertainment & speaking career, I’ve worked with many South African & international event planners: from intimate VIP performances to shows in front of several hundred corporate clients. As you’d expect, I’ve worked with too many event planners to count — all with different levels of experience.
Over the past few years, I’ve observed the difference between a successful event planner & someone who is clearly not a regular event organizer. What is becoming apparent is that many people are looking for the ”secret” online. They’re like the many people who approach me after a show, telling me that they’ve tried Googling for the methods to my magic, but could not find a suitable solution!
Well, here’s what I’ve learnt from my experiences: the biggest & best events are planned & organised early, from the early budget stages right down to the last minute. Events can be planned & held in a very short time, but unfortunately most people can experience quite a lot of stress if they forget how vital the planning stage is.
So I decided to create a basic tool to help initiate the planning stage so that an event planner, just like you, would be able to know that you’re getting off to a good start. It’s a basic guide for how to plan a function, and will definitely help you avoid the common mistake that most event planners make!
A few months back, I posted a short list of free event planning software and templates on my company’s blog & discovered that many people would like an event planning template manual that would making planning an event easier: a simple, easy to use, “connect the dots & fill-in the blanks” guide that will get your successful event started!
