The Event Planner business in Charleston SC is booming!!  There's a lot of talk about businesses being slow and the economy showing low numbers.  There is, however, a bright spot that is weathering the storm; being an event planner in Charleston SC.

I personally love being an event planner in Charleston.  It gives me the opportunity to wear many different hats. One weekend I can be a wedding planner as part of a couple's wonderful celebration.  The following Monday, I can work with a company that needs assistance promoting a new product or organizing a fundraiser. The possibilities and opportunities for an event planner in Charleston SC are endless.

Interested in breaking into the event planner business??  Well this is the place for you!  Here are some steps I took 10 years ago to see if the biz was for me.

First, I would highly recommend working as an intern or as a hourly employee for an established event planner in Charleston SC.  By doing so, you will be on the front lines of one of the fastest growing industries in the world.

Heres a tip.  Be prepared to pay your dues!  Going for coffee, climbing ladders, and lifting furniture (Décor, etc ), is all in a days work.  Being an event planner in Charleston SC is not a walk in the park.  You have to think on your feet and have the ability to work with many different people and personalities.  Seeing the outcome of an event you helped to organize is priceless! 

I never imagined that I would one day I would end up owning my own business as an event planner in Charleston SC.  Now that I am, I can say that there is nothing else on earth that I would rather do.  For this life, I am truly grateful.
