This website showcases a great example of a strong event portfolio because everything comes together exactly as it should:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Her site has a distinct aesthetic;<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s easy to navigate and find what you\u2019re looking for;<\/li>\n<li>A lot of the 7 must-haves for her event portfolio are there.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For example, the About section provides an easy-to-read (but informative) blurb about Events by Ayla, with eye-catching photos and client testimonials to go along with it. This not only helps us put a face to Ayla \u2013 it creates an instant sense of comfort and likeability towards her, too. On her site, she also has:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>All of the possible wedding planning and mentorship services she offers;<\/li>\n<li>The awards and recognitions Ayla has received over the years as an industry expert;<\/li>\n<li>A photo gallery of her professional work;<\/li>\n<li>A section entirely devoted to her client testimonials;<\/li>\n<li>A contact page where potential clients can submit a client form, allowing Ayla a chance to better understand them and their needs before establishing first contact;<\/li>\n<li>Links her website to her social media pages, as well as her profiles on both The Knot and Wedding Wire.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>2. <a href=\"https:\/\/eventsbyfran.co\/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaYCeX0Kt0875_JtJDC8zyqwL-EfmcfdTl_rp1xC0lKptRAG0wVOip5qA60_aem_0C-19V8lo5dDQXB_gBEdsA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Events by Fran<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>This event portfolio is an excellent example of how to utilize referrals, and make your qualifications, educations, and certifications known to your potential client.<\/p>\n<p>Also a successful QC graduate, Frances &#8220;Fran&#8221; Steiner, put a lot of time, love, and effort into her business\u2019s website and event portfolio &#8211; and it shows! One little detail we absolutely love is how, on her About<em>\u00a0<\/em>page, she not only gives a little shout-out to QC when discussing her qualifications and education &#8211; she showcases some truly gorgeous photos of herself and her beautiful family. Talk about a great way for prospective clients to truly get a feel for who you are and what you&#8217;re all about!<\/p>\n<p>We also love the way in which Fran has worked her client testimonials, as well as her many recognitions and associations, onto her Homepage. From the menu, it&#8217;s easy to locate her planning services. From there, the way she clearly breaks up her wedding planning services from her &#8220;other events&#8221; services is true genius! Regardless of which option you select, all packages (including their respective details and pricing) are laid out clearly, in an easy-to-understand way.<\/p>\n<p>And for those who wish to contact Fran, she ensures the process couldn&#8217;t possibly be any easier! Not only is all of her contact info &#8211; as well as hours of operation &#8211; easily and clearly laid out; she also provides (much like Ayla) a client form that can be filled out + submitted directly on Fran&#8217;s website.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashleybrookeweddings.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ashley Brooke Weddings<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Another sensational event portfolio example to look up to comes from our very own graduate-turned-QC-tutor, Ashley Friesen. From the moment you go to her business site, the auto-revolving photo carousel (showcasing some truly gorgeous pics from past weddings Ashley and her team have put together) clearly distinguish Ashley&#8217;s niche as wedding planning. From the menu at the top of the site, your eye easily travels to the Gallery option, which can be described using the words:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bright<\/li>\n<li>Colorful<\/li>\n<li>Bubbly<\/li>\n<li>Warm<\/li>\n<li>Welcoming<\/li>\n<li>Professional<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All of these things are encompassed in Ashley&#8217;s brand &#8211; and so the fact that her portfolio of past work conjures up these seems feelings is a true testament to how carefully thought-out and effective this event portfolio is. Additionally, Ashley&#8217;s website stands out to us thanks to her:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Comprehensive services page;<\/li>\n<li>Informative About Us section (which also includes tons of happy client reviews and lists of educational qualifications);<\/li>\n<li>Links to social media;<\/li>\n<li>Yet another great use of a client form, able to be submitted directly through the website;<\/li>\n<li>And a blog, which further reiterates Ashley as a subject-matter expert in the world of wedding planning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Start_Building_Your_Event_Planning_Portfolio_from_Scratch\"><\/span>How to Start Building Your Event Planning Portfolio from Scratch<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Seeing polished portfolios like the ones above can feel intimidating \u2014 especially if you\u2019re just beginning your career.<\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s the truth: You don\u2019t need years of experience to start building a strong portfolio.
