What is Event Planning?

When the term Event Planning is heard, a spectacular event such as the Olympics, Presidential Inauguration or any other formal major event is visualized. Indeed these events requires the skills of events planners however event planners work on other events that may not be at the national or international scale. These events includes weddings, dinners, grand openings, Christmas functions, corporate functions, birthday parties among other events.

The big question still remains, what exactly is event planning? Events Business Academy describes it as "the co-ordination, running and planning of all the people, teams and features that come together to create every kind of event". In simple English, event planning allows a sponsor to pull together an event hassle free with the help of a professional; an event planner. 

Before there were professional events planners, family members, employees or friends would be the ones caught up in organizing, orchestrating or directing the event at hand to ensure its complete success. In doing so, many of times, minor details that contributed to the moment becoming magical were forgotten or ignored or these individuals were so caught up and busy, they themselves missed the moment entirely. 

In the recent past, it has been realized some moments happens only once in a lifetime and as such should not be missed simply because one was so busy organizing in the background. This realization over the years has contributed to Events Planning becoming almost just as important as the event itself.
