Event Planning
Key Questions • How can you set your event
apart from other experiences?
• What would you like your guests to remember most when they leave?
• How do the event activities fit into your budget?
Establish Timeline • Organize every detail as early
as possible.
• Have a soft timeline for events to keep yourself on task. We say soft timeline to allow room for modification of the timeline, be prepared for the unexpected.
Get Your Priorities Right… • Build a team. It is a monumental task to plan an event, get people
involved and review the good and bad from previous experiences. Go over some of the items in the checklists, then decide who will take care of which items.
• Make a list of the details you can’t live without. Everyone has an idea of what there event is going to look or be like in their head. Make a short list of "must haves" for your event. If you budget these things in first they will have a better chance of actually making it into your final plan.
We have shared in some amazing events. Experience shows that those events don’t just happen by accident – it’s all in the planning. The more time you invest up front, the more you will be able to relax and let the experience unfurl before you. There are incredible resources available to help you plan. From our experiences, here are a few starters, tools and tips to make your event remarkable.

ensure all details are covered during the hectic planning process.
