Ever Wonder What Professional Event Planning Is like?

November 25, 2011 By Andrew Maxwell Comments

Is there a difference between event planning and professional event planning? I know what you’re going to say – in your business you treat everybody professionally. And I’m sure that you do. Perhaps the title of this blog post should have been celebrity event planning. But whichever the title, the one thing that I believe would distinguish a professional event planning company from the others would be their list of past clients.

Where better to look for a professional event planning company or rather a company with an impressive list of clients then Los Angeles. Los Angeles has no shortage of celebrities, that’s for sure. The video below is an interview with celebrity event planner Lisa Gorjestani of Details Event Planning. As Lisa’s LinkedIn profile says, she started Details in 1997. Since then Lisa has been featured in the LA Times, Elegant Bride, In Style Weddings and Martha Stewart Weddings. An impressive clientele list to say the least.

Watch below as Lisa shows you how to plan an amazing and glamorous wedding event.
