Events planning and management is not for the faint hearted
For you to be successful in the industry, u need to be passionate, consistent, goal oriented, focused & honest
To get clients, you need to do ur marketing by urself, 4 urself
Getting clients might be difficult especially if someone is a newbie. U need to be courageous and be bold cos some clients will ask you a question that might throw you off balance. As for getting materials, fabrics, and equipments etc, sir/ma, you need enough capital unless you have ur family & friends support to help you out

FINANCIAL INVOLVEMENT
Events planning &management is a capital intensive industry which requires a lot of investment
There re many things under events planning ie
Aso Ebi vendors
Bride & bridemaids fashion
cakes & confectionary
catering
decorations
drinks & cocktail
florals
gifts & sourvenirs (branding &packaging)
groom & groomsmen fashion
music entertainment
photography
pre wedding events
rentals
rings & accessories
venue arrangement
videography

wedding stationary etc
As you can see, its now left 4 you to choose any that you can perfectly handle. Though, its good if you have an idea abt some of it, it will be to ur own advantage
