What can an event planner help you with?

Stepping Into Growth!

As an event planner, I’m always creating incredible experiences for others - but now it’s time to invest in my own growth! I’m heading to a business retreat with the amazing Leona Burton, stepping out of my comfort zone, and embracing new opportunities to learn, connect, and elevate my business.

This experience can only benefit me, my clients, and the events I bring to life. Excited to gain new insights, fresh inspiration, and level up in ways I never imagined!

But don’t fret - I’m taking you with me! I’ll be sharing behind-the-scenes moments, key takeaways, and everything I get up to, so stay tuned!

💪 Prioritise and Delegate Like a Pro 💪

The 80/20 Rule (Pareto Principle) 🎯:
Focus 80% of your energy on the 20% of tasks that truly matter - like securing a dream venue, booking top suppliers, and finalising key details. These will have the biggest impact on your big day!

Delegate Wisely 🤝:
You can’t do it all (and you shouldn’t!). Trust your planner, suppliers, bridal party, or family to handle tasks like supplier coordination, guest management, or décor setup. Less stress, more joy!

Avoid Multitasking 🚫📱:
Juggling too many tasks at once can lead to mistakes. Instead, tackle one thing at a time - whether it's choosing the menu, finalising the seating chart, or doing a dress fitting - to ensure top-notch results.

🎯 Start with a Solid Plan 🎯

Set Clear Objectives 🏆✨
Define your wedding or event goals! Dreaming of an intimate gathering or a grand celebration? Prioritise what matters most—budget, guest experience, or aesthetic vibes.

Use Checklists - Stay on track with a structured to-do list:
🔥 Urgent: Book venue, lock in key suppliers (caterer, photographer, DJ/band).
🎯 Important: Finalise guest list, send invites, choose décor & outfits.
💡 Optional: Extra entertainment, personalised favours, last-minute touches.

Reverse-Engineer Your Timeline:
Start with your wedding or event date and work backward. Set deadlines for major tasks like booking the venue, finalising suppliers, and sending invitations to keep everything on track.
