Private Event Planning (Party Planning)

As a private event planner, you’ll be able to choose the clients you take on and the type of events you plan. You’ll have even more control over your target market if you start your own business! You can focus on private events such as milestone and birthday parties, holiday parties, or special community events.

You’ll conduct client consultations to present themes and ideas that match your client’s vision. Then, you’ll use your knowledge of the event planning process to build budgets, create color schemes, choose decor, and create seating plans for your clients. You will also work with venues, caterers, and other vendors for your client’s event.

With the private event planning path, you can greatly increase your worth and salary by specializing in topics such as event decor or adding wedding planning services to your portfolio.

Corporate Event Planning

Corporate event planners are more likely to work for an existing company or corporation, but you can also start your own corporate event planning business. In this role, you’ll focus on events such as product launches, holiday parties, internal and external social events, conferences, and more.

You’ll work with clients to align events with overarching company goals. Working with AV teams, you’ll implement technology into events to engage guests and create a better experience. You’ll also work with venues and caterers, marketing teams, and manage the execution of events. After the event, you will evaluate the success of your events based on the company’s original goal (ex. create revenue, increase brand awareness, professional development).
