Why Event Planning Matters
Planning an event, especially one for high-net-worth clients, involves more than just choosing a venue. Students will dive into every detail, from budgeting to guest experience, helping them build strong organizational and problem-solving skills. Learning how to design luxury events teaches students the importance of coordination and attention to detail, preparing them for real-world scenarios where these skills are key.
Exploring Luxury Properties and Budgeting
In this challenge, students will begin by exploring luxury Airbnb properties, working within a set budget. They’ll consider everything from the layout of the event to the flow of how guests will enter and enjoy the space. This step helps students understand how to work within financial limits while still delivering a high-quality event.
Skills Your Student Will Gain
Catering and Logistics
A big part of any event is the food! Students will plan catering for 100 guests, understanding the costs involved and finding local vendors near the chosen property. This teaches them how to manage resources effectively while ensuring guests have a top-tier dining experience.
