As a beginner you need to learn how to use your time frame wisely. Time will be an big impact on event planning. Make sure you're very specific with the times you're available for. Say that your client wants to plan an event for 12:00, you'll need to create a lunch budget.
I did a little research on event planning, I found out that you DO NOT have to be certified to become a event planner. If you're a beginner you can still learn the basics with out being certified.
My name is Gaisha, welcome to my blog. I've decided to do event planning. I've chose to do event planning because I can do this as a side job. I've also realized a lot of events are being planned throughout the years.
