Event planner

An event planner organises and runs events — conferences, meetings, corporate functions, or weddings — managing budgets, booking venues and vendors, coordinating schedules and logistics, and overseeing execution on the day so clients can simply enjoy the result. The work blends project management with calm problem-solving, often under tight deadlines and with last-minute curveballs.

Planners work for event agencies, companies, venues, and independently, specialising in corporate events or weddings. The role suits organised, calm, detail-oriented people who can juggle countless moving parts, handle pressure and last-minute problems, manage clients and suppliers, and deliver polished events where everything comes together despite the chaos behind the scenes.
