Tiffany’s Answer

It would be hard for me to tell you EXACTLY what the hours are for event planners because its on a case by case basis. However, hours for an event planner can range from 40 to 80 hours a week, depending on the event that you are working on at the moment. You have to consider the pre-planning stage which may just be like a 40 hour work week but when it comes time for the event, you could be working 20 hour days ensuring that the event is flawless.

Shreya’s Answer

You'll usually be working full weekends, since that's when most events, such as weddings or parties, take place. During the week, you'll spend your days marketing your business, networking with vendors, and organizing event logistics (decor, catering, etc.). Because many clients have regular jobs, you will probably meet with them in the evenings. In short, your schedule will be variable and need to be flexible since you'll be interacting with so many other people.

Definitely, the feedback received so far is accurate - the amount of work can fluctuate depending on the type and timing of the events. Typically, you might find that a little extra effort is required at the start to define your event objectives clearly. As the event approaches, you'll need to complete all essential preparations, and during the event, your presence will be crucial to ensure everything operates seamlessly. Keep in mind, the job doesn't conclude when the event does - there's still the post-event wrap-up to handle! But rest assured, with commitment and diligence, you're going to handle everything superbly!

Stacy’s Answer

It depends on what type of event planner you are (ie, a corporate or "social" planner) that will most likely determine the days and hours that you will work. Some seasons will be a lot busier than others so the work load will ebb and flow. My background is in corporate events, both working on the Destination Management Side (DMC) as well as the client side, primarily in the high tech field. I have planned a few weddings but my focus has always been on corporate events. I will say that the hours can be very long but when an event comes together beautifully, there is nothing better!
