We as social event planner typically manage weddings, anniversaries, parties and so on. As a social event planner we'll be interacting with individuals, couples, brides, parents and many other people – all of whom have the vision of a perfect wedding, anniversary or party that they have been imagining for months or even years. The emotional attachment in a social event is what makes managing these
types of event challenging, as well as exhilarating. When it comes down to it, our job is really to connect with the individual to understand their thoughts, perceptions and feelings. The key to success is paying attention not only to things that are said, but more importantly things that are not said – so we always look for non-verbal cues such as facial expressions, postures and eye contact.
