Nice video. It was very informative. However when I hear you, you talk more about an event designer but I only want to do the planning part and find the vendors to design the event. Or did I understand it wrong ???
So I’m a full time dj 5 years now been making 50k plus but it has occurred to me that some people charge 50000 or more to do weddings and barmitzvahs etc.. I’m really looking to step it up to the next level. Any advice?
Thanks for all the advice.
Hey I would like to start an event bussiness and would like to know about supplies for example cake pop stands decorations likee that where are the best places to get that? Custom stuff for baby showers and how do you transport and take it home?
Do you prefer package pricing or hourly rate for a new planner?
Is it best to price packages as per your creativity and educational degrees or your area competition (what planners in my area charge)?
Can you do a video on registering business, insurance, tax # and fees?
I like your videos, easy to understand. Also what is a convenience fee, you mentioned in comments?
Thank you so much for all the advices ❤️
What steps did you take to start a website? Do you pay a lot for website maintenance.
Hello… great video. Do you have an LLC? Did you have one when you first started ? & Do you have to have one to be on Yelp?
I have watched so many of your videos they are so helpful. I want to become a party planner but I live in a small town I wouldn’t be traveling. I want to rent my own venue and have the parties there. We don’t have many places to choose from to have parties around here I could really use some
Advice if you could please message me on facebook or give me an email I would greatly Appreciate it. Dottie Michelle ratliff
Thank u so much its a good info for me
Thanks u so much for making me to understand ,I'm trying to become an event planner..i lean so much from u…
What’s your website?
So what is the ideal price for someone who is just starting out? If I do quality work and pay good money for supplies etc.
your vidoes have honestly ben a god send! Keep up the great work!
Did you charge the clients for the expenses for the supplies on top of your package price?
Hello , thank you so much . This video is very informative . I think terrible is when you don’t try , because you never know like you said . I get frustrated sometimes, I don’t know what I might be doing or saying wrong , for instance a client will meet with me , I know my prices are the cheapest , But the client charging twice as much is the chosen . When the pictures are shared I feel they could have gotten more for their money . Your personality is what wows clients . At least that’s the reason I watch your videos over an over. ❤️Thanks again
How long was your website up and running before you were able to book your first client?
Hello, what did u use to hang the curtains on.
Hi! Love your vids ! I am curious if you are a licensed Esthetician or Cosmetologist? I know they are just children, but I am just curious cuz I really stink at nails & hair Lolol😝😝-I have wanted to do this for sometime now . I live N Vegas & there was a shop that someone opened for exactly what you are doing & the location was in a very ritzy part of town. It was ( idk if still there) set up really nice inside but I never even heard about the place I just happen to see by a fluke. Unless they were charging a grand a kid I sure don’t know HOW they are paying for the overhead on that shop. Anyhow , after seeing that I just thought there was no way I could compete! Your vids are very Inspirational & every lil girl deserves to be pampered & doesn’t necessarily have to come from million dollar homes!! —BTW: I was wondering do you do the nails or do you hire manicurist ? I saw the pics of those girls & both had on matching pink outfits with bows. Do you supply those for the manicurist? — thank you & GOD BLESS you & yours🙏🙏😇😇
Did you hire manicurist?
Hi!!! This is such good advice!! I'm thinking of starting but I'm super afraid people will think I'm too young. Is 22 too young? How old were you when you started?
iv been researching info on becoming a party planner, one thing im not sure, is if i serve food at the party or snacks, do i need a special food licence? also do you have to have insurance for your company/ parties? thanks ps love your videos
This is a great video! Thanks 🙂
Can I ask where you purchase the kids robes from?
Thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to educate all of us. You are amazing!! I just started a party planning business as well. I also have a in home child care so most of my clients are my daycare clients and their friends and referrals. Also if you have a young child attending elementary school get to know the parents and staff, leave business cards as well (if you can) and the word will spread fast. I have learned so much from your video!! Again Thanks so much!! oh and what is your etsy store name??
Hi when you signed up for Google did you put your home address or do you have a office that you work from
What is your website?
Thanks for the info
Very good advice thanks
GREAT information! Do you include the price of the supplies ( decor, linens etc) that will be used for the event in your fee? Or do you use what you've already purchased and invested in? Thanks!
hi my question is how/what did you write in your craigslist ad..i have one up but not sure i've written it the way it should be to book business..my price is low…i dont have any pictures so i used some stock photos in the ad but made sure they weren't the typical cliche and corny ones. i try to post regularly. i guess i'm also worried that posting everyday might come off to customers searching as a desperate business.
Where do you purchase your linens?!
Thank you so much for your videos! I want to get into event styling and as much as I try to talk about it with my loved ones, they don't seem as positive & supportive about the whole idea. But your videos are so informative and inspirational that I feel much more confident about my decision! Thank you!
Hi hun with doing event planning, how do you feel comfortable with clients being in your home?
do you have to go to school before you start in event planing? i love your vids
