Unless you\u2019re lucky enough to live somewhere hot and tropical all year long, winter weather tends to discourage event planning. There are, of course, exceptions\u2014we\u2019ve seen some gorgeous winter weddings. But, it isn\u2019t for everyone. That\u2019s why the industry slows down in the winter months.<\/p>\n<p>For those looking at event planning as a second career, this is an awesome opportunity. Have you considered working as an event and wedding planner seasonally? This is a great option because it allows you to take advantage of the busy season without worrying about your income during the winter. We know, this means that you will be doubling-down on work in the warmer months. But, if you\u2019re interested in wedding planning, you probably have the drive to handle it!<\/p>\n<p>If you are going to pursue a seasonal wedding and event planning career, there are a few things to consider. The first is whether or not it\u2019s possible for your schedule. How demanding is your current job? Is management willing to be flexible? A lot of event planning can be done after hours and on the weekend, but occasionally, you may need to take some time off. We recommend approaching the subject with your boss before you take on clients. Trust us, its way better to keep them in the loop!<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also need to consider how to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2018\/02\/market-event-planner-certification-right-way\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">market your services<\/a> as an event planner. Just because you\u2019re only planning events seasonally, doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re not promoting your business during the winter! Make sure potential clients know about you! It\u2019s a lot of work, but it\u2019s necessary for a thriving summer business.<\/p>\n<p>Clients start seeking planners well in advance. Don\u2019t be surprised if you are contacted during the off-season. You will need to politely tell clients that you will be available for consultations in the spring. Make sure you give yourself enough lead time. If someone wants a June wedding, don\u2019t start the planning in May! Essentially, a seasonal approach will be more like 8 months on and 4 months off. You can expect to work from February to September.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/shutterstock_659886367.jpg\" alt=\"wedding reception\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/shutterstock_659886367.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/shutterstock_659886367-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Part-time_approach\"><\/span>Part-time approach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The second approach is to work part-time. You\u2019ll divide your time between event planning and your current career. This is how a lot of planners start out. It can be nerve-racking to leave your career behind completely and start a new one. For some, this approach offers a more comfortable transition.<\/p>\n<p>If you like the sound of having a hand in multiple jobs, this is the perfect option for you. It\u2019s what most planners opt for at the start of their careers since it\u2019s the most practical. Do you have a full time job? If so, you\u2019ll need to do some re-jigging. Unlike seasonal planning, working as an event planner year round won\u2019t give you much of a break.<\/p>\n<p>Most events happen during the evenings and on weekends. Coordinating events on the day of won\u2019t be your biggest challenge. The hard part will be finding balance during the week to plan the event step-by-step. Event planners are constantly busy, and you\u2019ll need to have enough flexibility to meet clients and vendors. Take advantage of your mornings. Early starts will be your best friend! The more you can fit into a day, the better.<\/p>\n<p>We also recommend starting off slowly. Don\u2019t bite off more than you can chew. Try planning one event at a time. Balancing two separate work schedules will be an adjustment at first. Once you\u2019re comfortable you can start taking on more contracts.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/shutterstock_411184504.jpg\" alt=\"wedding shoes and bouquet\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/shutterstock_411184504.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/shutterstock_411184504-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Focus\"><\/span>Focus<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can also use your specific event planning skills to build a second income. Did you specialize in any event planning classes? If so, you probably have a <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2018\/02\/4-ways-build-niche-event-planning-courses\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">niche area<\/a> to capitalize on. Specializing in a certain type of event planning is a great way to filter your work.<br \/>\nFor example, if you\u2019re interested in wedding planning, you could focus on themed or <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2018\/02\/becoming-a-better-wedding-planner-destination-or-luxury\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">luxury weddings.<\/a> That way you\u2019ll attract specific clientele. You may have less clients coming your way since these weddings generally cost a little more, but you\u2019ll become really good at what you do! Fewer clients are more manageable when you\u2019re using event planning as a second income. Just don\u2019t get too good \u2013 or you\u2019ll wind up with more clients than you can turn away. We\u2019re just kidding, of course! If this does happen to you, maybe you\u2019re ready to move into event planning full time.<\/p>\n<p>Whichever route you follow, be wary that event planning is a busy career on its own. Don\u2019t be surprised if you can\u2019t keep up with demand. Using event planning as a second career requires discipline. We know that every new event that comes your way will feel exciting, but seriously, pace yourself. You don\u2019t want to burn out and let down your clients. Having two careers is a balancing act in any industry.<\/p>\n<p>The approaches we\u2019ve outlined are great ways to achieve that balance. A lot of event and wedding planners start out by having two careers. If you\u2019re interested in planning full time, it\u2019s a great starting point. During this time you\u2019ll gain valuable experience and build your portfolio. Once you\u2019re established, you can make a permanent switch to event planning full-time!<\/p>\n<h3 align = \"center\"><i>Starting out in the event planning industry is a lot easier if you have the right training.
