Module #1: Event Fundamentals

Here’s why it’s important to learn from someone who’s done it before you – I know exactly where most students get stuck or give up when it comes to getting started as an event planner.

In this module, you’ll put a clear plan in place that guides your decisions and supports your vision and goals for all your events that stop you from doing it right the first time.

  • Event Budgeting will eliminate the dread and second guessing that sets in if you don’t understand how much you need and how much is being spent.

  • Creating Your Event Objective motivates you to take action so you know exactly why the event is important and what needs to be done for each event.

  • Developing Your Workback Schedule helps you map out your plan instead of leaving things to the last minute (or missing any important details!).

What My Students Have To Say

“Forbes and Huffington Post recently named event planning as one of the 5th most stressful jobs in the world. This How to Be an Event Planner course is working to take it down to the bottom of the list. It’s an awesome resource for anyone who wants to get into event planning.”

- WILL CURRAN -

““When she said step-by-step, she meant it. I’ve completed online courses before, and it usually feels extremely impersonal. However, Melanie breaks the norm…and provides priceless information.””

- ALIYA PERRY -

“ “We plan 45+ events a year. I found Event Planning Blueprint to be such a valuable resource. Everything that someone new may want to learn, they can learn from the tools and techniques that this course offers.” ”
