Good to start

This was a great way for me to understand the basics and necessities that I would need to start a event planning business

As the book is from the early 2008, a lot of the references for websites on their resources section are extremely outdated and many of them are no longer in business or on their second/third name change. Overall, the book has great pointers and advice, but a newer edition needs to be released for anything to be relevant.

I don't know how good the book would be considered for someone who's a seasoned professional in this field, but I think it does a good job covering the bases for someone who doesn't know much about the business. Good to read to get an idea of what to expect if you're thinking about becoming a (successful) event planner.

This book does a good job of covering the basics for starting an event planning business. My daughter is starting a business and she is constantly asking my advice. After reading this book, I think I am prepared to give my opinion to her.

I thought it was a great book as an introduction to both the industry as a whole and to owning your own company.

This applied to american laws but I am in Canada. I was hoping for more of a step by step on how to in planning, but it did cover business model planning and the like.

Awesomr

Really informative about expectations. Touched on all aspects of starting this exact business. Some is redundant but they still said it.
