Hello there! You are so very appreciated for your content. I’ve been on the wall about doing this. I did my best friend’s wedding and I was disappointed because so many things went wrong last minute. It turned out nice and since I did it for free to build my inventory and experience, she was ever grateful and satisfied. I needed help more than I knew. Being a planner is about more then just having the materials. I’m more the wiser now, watching your videos. I’ve got a good base (blk/wht) collection to cover 150 people. That’s table covers, chair covers, bar stool covers, bar table covers n both colors. I also got 200 ea silver and gold chair sashes, table runners, cloth napkins, and plate chargers. Because I’m very crafty, I made very elegant centerpieces, wedding arch, aisle pedestals and flower wall. I also did all the flower deco. I sold the centerpieces and arch afterwards to the venue owner who was enamored by them. In total I made almost 50 beautiful items. I was just too lazy to bring them back home. I know better now tho. Now I’m on a mission to start my actual business. You are my first step in the right direction into this world. Thank you. In this video you mentioned a video that features 5 must have, gold centerpieces. I couldn’t find it. Could you please give me the link? Thank you again for what you do. You are AWESOME!!!
I really enjoyed the content and love the hair, makeup, earrings and top...wow. You said in a prior video that you would show your outfits from your haul as you go. I look forward to the next video.
Thanks a bunch Mrs. Melanie. This video was extremely helpful. You are very beautiful, and by all the good advice you offer to others, it appears that your soul is beautiful also. May God richly bless you 8n all your endeavors!
I love your experience.
IAM trying to learn a lot from experience ❤
You can do it!
Great advice First Lady. I’m not into starting an event planning business but your tips are teaching me how to shop for event planners! Look for planners who have what I want, transporting equipment, space and pricing💕💕🥰
Thank you for sharing 🙏🏼💜 I'm all the way from South Africa and I've been watching your videos all weekend and finding them so helpful and impressive. You have amazing content, you also look amazing and your work is amazing 😍 May God continue to bless you 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Melanie, this is an excellent video for people who want to start a career/business in event planning. I love how you explained step by step the process that people need to know to get started. I've worked in the hospitality industry years ago and I know alot about what you're saying, having worked with event planners, caterers, florists, etc. This is great information for people who are searching to hire an event planner, as well. Take care 💞
Thanks so much love!

Thank you Marvelous Mel for the information 💁♀️
Thank you so much I just got separated after 30 years I went to event planning school years ago and now I find myself setting up my first wedding in my new journey. Broke but free so I am getting all of this with notes
THANK YOU! This video is so informative. Thank you for sharing. You have a new subscriber. 🌻
Thank you! Welcome!
Hey Mel! You look absolutely beautiful. Love, love, love the top earrings, makeup and hairstyle. Thanks for sharing these wonderful tips. ❤🥰 Have a great day!
Hey there Queen, my name is Jessica and I am looking for an event planner for an independent music artist in Jacksonville, FL. Would you or another planner be interested?
I don’t live there unfortunately.
This is exactly what i did. I brought 20 round white linens and 100 white banquet chair covers 😅 and added in like 10 purple satin table cloths
Perfect!
Wish I watched this before my first event. My client wanted silver and white. I went ahead and bought a lot of silver vases but most clients are requesting for gold. Good thing is I can spray them gold (I hope it works)
Thanks i have gained a lot
Awesome! Thanks so much!
Very informative indeed. Many key nuggets and takeaways here. Much appreciated! Blessings! 🙏🏽👍🏽
So inspiring. I am currently renting tables, chairs, tents, linen, props, setting up dessert tables for all occasions, and more to afford a venue next year. I have been documenting it on my TH-cam channel. It's hard work, but I know it will pay off in the end.
Thank you Melanie I’m building my inventory and I don’t know where to start I do theme based parties so I just grab things that I like when I see it lol
Where can I get the chafer chairs and the thorn Chairs
Thank you so much for this. Now my thoughts on what to get are guided.
Can you please talk about creating a business plan as a planner
Hi I hope you're still checking comments here. I was looking at your Amazon store and didn't see white chair and table linens. Can you tell me where you got yours and what kind they are?

Hey Mel.. you look stunning as usual.. Question. I don't hear chair covers on your top five list. Don't you think that's NEEDED for starters and if no why not?
Big up 💯
I love your passion for event planning. You always do a fantastic job. Tha k for the input.
Hi Melanie, I'm so glad i watched this. I've been contemplating selling some of my stagnant inventory and my chairs. I'm paying an exorbitant amount of money for storage, transportation thereof and back which most of the time is over 200km in distance, maintenance etc and they're not paying for themselves. Great video, thank you so much.
I love this video! Thank you for sharing this information! 🤎🤎

Love your advice!
Loved this video! You touched on major questions I have as I'm just starting out as an event planner but I do want to invest in some chairs and tables, any advice on where I could purchase these?
I would say hold off until you are sure what you want to hone in on… The demand has to be there and the logistics can be a nightmare!
