Recently I helped with a private celebration at home in a beautiful bush and beach setting.
The hosts were very capable of organising most of it themselves. What they wanted was some experienced event planning advice along the way, someone to look at the bigger picture, help make a few decisions and step in where it was useful.
My involvement included:
an early site visit
advice on layout, furniture placement and flow
suggestions for where the DJ and band would work best
recommending a caterer
menu and wine guidance
advice on where the budget was best spent
a trip to the flower markets and some direction on the floral look
arranging the flowers for the day
help with guest numbers, seating, tables and chairs
final practical tweaks as everything came together
And really, this is what my online event planning workshops are about.
You do not always need a full event planner to take over your party, wedding or fundraiser. Sometimes you just need someone experienced to look at what you are planning, talk it through with you and help you make the right decisions.
That might be around suppliers, catering, furniture, flowers, drinks, styling, budgets, guest numbers, seating plans or simply how to make the most of the space you have.
My online Event Planning Workshops are for people who want to organise their own event but would like some professional event planning advice and support along the way.
It might be a birthday, engagement party, private celebration at home, charity event, fundraiser, corporate event or community event.
I also offer an online Wedding Planning Workshop for couples who want to plan their own wedding but would like help with suppliers, budgets, timing, styling, catering and venue logistics.
You can book one session if that is all you need, or a couple of sessions across the planning period as the event starts to come together.
You stay in control of your event. I simply help you make the decisions around it.
