Planning your own event from scratch can get overwhelming — especially when you’re not an event planner by trade.
I’ve been there. Years ago I dove into planning my own wedding with zero event planning experience or guidance… and it was hard. While I loved the savings from not having to pay a full time event planner, I found it next to impossible to set and stick to a budget, book and negotiate contracts with vendors, and manage the seemingly ever-changing guestlist and RSVPs on my own.
People aren’t born knowing how to plan big events
After my wedding was over, I logged on to Facebook with the intent of leaving all the wedding support groups I joined. But before I could leave, something caught my eye: A post from a bride-to-be who, like me, had a tight wedding budget but NO idea where to start with planning her wedding. I thought, “I can totally help with that!”
After replying to her post, I scrolled and responded to the next one — a bride in over her head trying to book her own vendors. And the next — a couple begging for any advice people might have for DIY event planners.
That’s when it dawned on me: Since people aren’t born knowing how to plan events, and they shouldn’t have to reinvent the wheel, perhaps I could share the skills and tips I learned along the way to help others.
As you may have guessed, I ended up not leaving those Facebook groups. Instead I used their questions and others to create and perfect my Event Planning Masterclass.
If it’s not in your budget to hire an event planner, but the thought of doing it yourself feels like a nightmare, you’re in the right place.
