What is the best way to start an event coordinating business?

One of the best ways to start an event planning business if you have no prior events or business experience is through volunteering or an internship.
Volunteering at events or within an event management company will provide you with valuable on the job experience so you can learn what is required prior to starting a company.
An internship offers very similar benefits in that you get the opportunity to learn about the industry from the ground, make mistakes and see what areas of event planning you also enjoy the most. The great thing about an internship is that if you are working with an events company as an intern you can have access to “shadow” the business owner and other decision-makers to learn more about the operations side of the business as well, not just planning and design.
Once you have those steps completed you can begin exploring the more practical steps of starting a business such as finding a name, registering the business and setting up your branding and operational structures.

Wedding Traditions-Spain

If you’re thinking of a Spanish wedding theme, spring is the favourite time of year. You may worry that this could be an expensive affair, with around 200 guests at the average Spanish wedding, but fear not, guests are encouraged to give money as a gift, normally a minimum of 75 euros which should hopefully help to cover the costs of such a large celebration. Most Spanish weddings start in the early evening, with the most popular time for the ceremony to be 7pm, and it’s quite common for the guests to party until dawn. The wedding gown ( traje de novia) traditionally had lots of lace decoration to match the mantilla (lace veil) which can be very long. Traditionally the godfather of the bride buys the bouquet, and delivers it with a poem on the morning of the wedding. There are normally no bridesmaids. The groom is escorted down the aisle by his mother, particularly in Catalonia. Rice is thrown after the ceremony, together with rose petals- and don’t be surprised to hear firecra...

The ‘Naked’ Cake Trend

Whilst we look through all the beautiful pictures of weddings and events that grace our Instagram feed, we have noticed a sudden change in tradition. Wedding Cakes have gone commando!  Now if you aren’t sure what I mean by ‘Naked Cake’ it means a cake without any fondant covering.  The classic modern style of a cake covered in simple white fondant, then decorated with themed colours and other beautiful little edible decorations is becoming less and less popular! Couples are turning to a much more rustic and natural cake decoration idea.  Couples can choose how ‘naked’ they want their cake to be as the cake is covered with buttercream instead of fondant icing, showing the sponge cake underneath. The amount of sponge cake to buttercream ratio is something you can decide on. If the sponge cake is only slightly visible, then this is called a semi-naked cake. These are quite popular. You then have the naked cake which can either be covered in a small amount of buttercream cre...

Event Planners v DIY Events

An event planner’s world consists of a vast mixture of occasions, anything from corporate events, weddings, birthday parties, charity events, ceremonies and other celebrations. Along with this comes lots of responsibility such as managing budgets, liaising with venues, theming & styling, arranging food and entertainment and hiring staff. There’s a heap of other aspects that they control too, from security to health and safety.  Event planners have control of events right from the concept all the way to the end of the party to the clean-up, but most importantly they take care of the event and guests! Every detail is thought of-from keeping the drinks cold to the layout of the luxurious decorations. Their experience and imagination is key to ensuring your event is the one to be remembered.  Many event planners have great skills in communication, presenting, customer services, organisation, dealing with pressure, negotiation and problem-solving. These skills will guarantee y...
