What is an event planner?
An event planner is a highly skilled professional who has an aptitude for planning meetings and special events. They oversee all the details of the event and ensure everything runs smoothly on the day of the event. Along with having a creative side, event planners are usually people who notice the details and are highly organized. The purpose of hiring an event planner is so you can have someone else take care of all the tedious details while you get to fully enjoy your event.

An event planner is responsible for the following tasks:
Education
While you may not necessarily need a formal education to become an event planner, a degree can help you stand out among other candidates. Likewise, going into a relevant area of study can help you develop the background knowledge you need to be an excellent event planner. Many event planners get a bachelor's degree in business, communications, hospitality, public relations, marketing, tourism management, event management or a related field. I graduated at Cheltenham & Gluocestershire with a BA Hons in Tourism Management & French - class of 2000
Training
Enhance your event planning skills with on-the-job training. Most event planners start out in an internship or associate-level position. While working in an entry-level job, absorb as much information as you can. See what the senior event planner does well and try to emulate it in your own working style.
By gaining experiences through opportunities such as informational interviews, job shadowing and internships, you can prove to employers that you would be a good fit for their event planning role.
