Event Planning

Would any one ever use an events planner for things like weddings and parties if it would cost you about £100-£200 for all the organising to be done?

Am thinking of going sself employed as an events planner and would really value the feedback...

an event planner is a great idea although £100-£200 seems quite cheap make sure if you do go self-employed that you charge enough to cover all your costs - when you have your own business theres loads of hidden costs you can sometimes forget about - a lot of businesses close down because they didn't factor these costs

No - I would do it! I love doing things like that - get in a panic sometimes but that is part of the Occasion. JMO

Chinaowner I know a number of girls do this and earn a lot of money (all graduates) I think in these busy times they are very good thing ....I would not use one though because being bossy by nature I like to be in charge myself
