Become an event planner, Where to Start:

Make a List, Check it Often

Keep a notebook handy with all the various details you need to keep everything together. A ring binder notebook will house all of your notes, quotes, receipts and details. Keeping yourself organized is one of the most important things to consider. This way, some of the tiny details you thought you'd never forget are actually right there on the list as a reminder. You'll thank yourself at the end when you've jotted down a note to call all of your vendors the morning of the event to be sure they have correct directions and are on schedule.

Home Base possibilities to get started with..

To start your home-based event planning business you’ll need a computer, printer, telephone, fax machine, business license, basic party supplies, and a truck or a van. You will also need to find ways to market (advertise) your event planning company; building a website is a great to promote your business and show off your portfolio. It is helpful if you specialize in a specific niche, such as baby showers, weddings, charity events, or corporate events.
So, if you’re creative, have good verbal and written communication skills, excellent organizational and time management skills, and you like to budget, plan, and negotiate, a home-based business in event planning may be your calling.
