Why it works

Event planning involves hundreds of research and coordination tasks. AI can research vendors and create timelines, but vendor reliability assessment — knowing which caterer actually shows up on time versus which one has a history of no-shows — and real-time problem-solving when a speaker cancels 2 hours before go-live require human judgment and relationships that AI cannot replicate.

How it makes money

Per deliverable + retainer

How to start

Build a vendor database of 50+ contacts across 2–3 event types: corporate, wedding, or nonprofit gala. 2. Offer to plan a small corporate event or party for free to build a portfolio and testimonial. 3. Use AI to research vendors, compare pricing, create timelines, and draft guest communications. 4. Price per event at $500–2000 depending on size, or monthly support at $1500 for companies with regular events. 5. Create a master event timeline template in Notion or Google Sheets with automated reminders. 6. Negotiate vendor rates by requesting quotes from 3 competitors for every major service. 7. Build a budget tracker that flags items 10% over budget before they become problems. 8. Draft all guest communications — save-the-dates, reminders, thank-yous — in the client's brand voice. 9. Conduct a post-event debrief within 48 hours to document lessons learned and vendor performance. 10. Ask for a testimonial and referral after every successful event. 11. Upsell event recap content — photo captions, social posts, and blog summaries — at $300 per event.
