Event Management

Yes, it's a part of event management dear. Weddings can be stressful for brides and grooms. Not only are they about to enter into a new phase in their lives, but they are also about to throw a party that they and many of their guests will remember forever. As a wedding planner, you must be sensitive to others' needs. You have to be able to remain calm in the face of adversity and soothe nerves (not only your own) when things don't go as planned. Excellent interpersonal skills are essential in this line of work. Couples hire wedding planners to take care of the things they prefer not to do themselves. These tasks include negotiating with vendors, managing a budget, and coordinating the flow of the event. To handle the variety of tasks that comprise throwing a wedding or any other event, among yours the strongest skills must be:
Budgeting
Negotiating
Planning and Organizing
Managing Time
Solving Problems
Networking
Do you have a good sense of style and color? This will allow you to coordinate the decorations including flowers, tablecloths, and napkins. You must also be knowledgeable about different religions and cultures, and sensitive to the customs inherent in them, especially as they relate to weddings. You don't have to go to college to become a wedding planner. Many people begin their careers after making their wedding arrangements or helping their friends and relatives with their affairs. Several professional associations or trade groups offer wedding planning certifications which can demonstrate to potential clients that you are qualified to do this job. Since these programs are unregulated, do your homework before handing over money to any organisation.
Ask established wedding planners for recommendations. Another option is to earn either a Bachelors or associate degree in event planning. A college education can provide you with vital skills you won't get elsewhere. First of all, your preparation will be more broadly based, allowing you to work on other types of events, in addition to weddings. Graduates of these programs, for example, may work on events such as conventions, trade shows, award shows, sports tournaments, and music festivals. You may take courses on the following topics:
Food Preparation for Catered Events
Event Promotion
Weddings and Ceremonies
History and Culture of Wine
Negotiations and Agreements
Concert and Event Production
To round out your education, you will take classes in accounting, finance, and hospitality law.
