The Ups & Downs of Being an Event Planner

To some, being an event planner may seem like the dream of a lifetime, offering perks such as traveling to help set up fun events, collaborating with like-minded individuals in the industry, and creating events that offer attendees a fabulous and memorable time. However, being an event planner is not as sexy as it seems as it entails a several details, and if one of those details are lacking, the whole event can be a major bust. So, what are the highs and lows of being an event planner? Fun Planners, leaders in Florida corporate events, list them there.

  • The Upside: One of the best things about event management is participating in all the small details that add up to one big event in which you can witness the oohs and aahs. Everything, from the invitations to selecting the venue, caterers, entertainment, decorations, and favors all come together thanks to your ingenuity. There is no greater satisfaction than seeing the fruits of your labor come together beautifully.
  • The Downside: The time it takes to make an event happen, from the very beginning to when you start deciding on vendors, to even after the event, such as following up with attendees and thanking them for being there, takes time. When the day finally comes, and things don’t go as well as you had hoped, there will be feeling of disappointment. That is why it is so important to triple check every detail, to make sure you aren’t forgetting anything.

There is one thing for sure: being an event planner is an exciting and rewarding career. You are not confined to a desk 9-5, and all the people you meet through just one event alone means it is a profession that is fulfilling and fun.
