When some people consider the role of an event planner, they imagine a job working with luxury hotels, dining on gourmet meals, listening to world music, traveling to incredible destinations, being driven occasionally by private car services, and contracting outside staff who will take care of your every need. My advice: don't confuse a guest's experience with those who are there to work the event.
An event planner invests hours, days, weeks, and even months of detailed work to orchestrate the program. And the reality is that most of the projects aren't as glamourous or fashionable as the above romanticized scenario. Event planners often spend their time coordinating smaller meetings in corporate conference rooms, or city and suburban chain hotels. They confirm catering, audio/visual and other event needs.
This work is filled with binders, notes, phone calls, client meetings, and thousands of e-mails. It requires strong organization skills and the ability to anticipate exactly what your event guests will need to ensure a successful program. Despite the volume, it's not bad work if you can get it.
