Rockland Event Planning Process

Improved Essays
Industry research
Event planning is summed up as the process of managing a project. These projects can range anywhere from a meeting to a party. In my company I would like to focus my attention on the party aspect of event planning. In Rockland and the surrounding area there is no other company competing for an event planning business and this is the perfect opportunity. The event planning industry is growing at large rates and there is a 44% increase of employment in this decade.
Customers
I will not focus on any kind of customers as I believe anyone deserves to have the planning they deserve. If I do not feel fit to tend to this customer as I feel they are asking more than I am capable of, I will politely refer them to someone who will be able to tend to their needs.
Service Analysis
I will plan weddings, children’s parties, retirement parties, Christmas parties, and any other parties. I will provide the professional planning side of these events. Such as budgeting, organizing suppliers and venders if need be, and executing the event.

- provide the guest invites as well as send them out.

- them pick a theme if one is desired.
- take cake

More of a get together than a business meeting when we talk about the event. When I go to a client’s home to discuss the plan of the event I want them to feel like I’m there to help not to add more stress. Also it’s very important that they understand that I will be making sure everything is to their liking. I will get in touch with them often to make sure everything I do is perfect and that there will be no surprises. I believe with the pricing I have chosen of 10% of their budget for the first 10 hours of planning and 100$ thereafter is the best choice. This will give them a good idea of how many hours it could take to plan their wedding and if they have higher demands or it’s more of a luxurious wedding the cost will make up for

    While some people may think of event management as a degree in party planning, it is gaining credibility as a legitimate career. The Canadian Tourism Human Resource Council created event management standards which also led to the definition of exactly what an event is (Robertson, 2015). An event is “a social form that organizes interaction in a distinctive way” or the “gathering of three or more people who agree to assemble for a purpose ostensibly related to the functioning of an organization or group” (Beaulie, 2004). According to Michael Auerbach, “in 2006 there were 51,000 event planners in the U.S. and 39% of those were within an event planning company” which demonstrates the grand size of the industry and its obvious importance to society (2015). The purpose of this paper is to explore a career in event planning.…
