How do you become a party planner?

How to become a party planner?

  • I'm looking for a new career and i'm really interested in becoming an events/party planner does anyone know the best way to do this.

  • Answer:

    Apply to local hotels etc. with your CV and a covering letter to join their workforce. Any work in a hotel is a good starting place to get to know the industry. Be prepared for VERY long and unsociable hours, poor pay and dealing with bolshy customers - but at least you will be getting experience. The role of Restaurant Supervisor is a great place to start (in the UK, salaries start at around £14,000 - but these can vary greatly). This role may not be where you ultimately want to end up - but it'll give you a great insight into the work of an Events Coordinator or Wedding Planner. Hotels are always looking for staff. Look on the Jobcentre Plus website: http://www.jobcentreplus.gov.uk/ Good luck!

I suppose firstly you decide what exactly you will be offering / providing as part of your service. Then based on this, do your research eg/ contacts, suppliers. . Then start advertising, internet, flyers, phone books, newspapers ect.. Good Luck,

I would check to see whether there is a local even planners association near me and I would try to attend one of their meetings. It would be a great opportunity to network and find out who the local event planners are and perhaps you can get a job as an apprentice to one of them and get to learn the ropes while getting paid. I would also contact the local Convention and Visitors Bureau and try to get from them a list of the local event planners or talk to the event managers at the local hotels and see what they have to say. Hope this helped.
