How to start an event planning business.
The steps marked “Your AI team does this” are the ones SoGood builds from your brief. The rest are yours, and they come first.
01
Choose your niche
Weddings, corporate events, birthdays and milestone parties each come with different clients, budgets and timelines. Pick one or two to lead with, so your portfolio and marketing speak to one kind of client.
02
Build your vendor list
Your value is who you know: venues, caterers, florists, photographers, rentals and entertainment. Meet them, learn how they work and keep a list of who you'd hire again. Plan a few events for friends or family to build a portfolio.
03
Set packages and contracts
Offer clear packages, like full planning, partial planning and day-of coordination, or a flat fee per event. Use a written contract for every booking, register your business and get liability insurance.
04
Get a brand clients trust
Your AI team does this
Your AI team suggests names, designs a logo and builds a brand kit that looks polished on your website, proposals and social pages.
05
Put up a website that books consults
Your AI team does this
A site with your services, packages, photos of past events and an inquiry form. On Pro it goes live on your own domain.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to start an event planning business?[ + ][ − ]
Mostly your time: registration, insurance, a planning toolkit and your marketing. You don't need an office to start. SoGood is free to start. You upgrade to Pro only when you want the full website on your own domain and ads.
Do I need experience to become an event planner?[ + ][ − ]
Experience helps, but you can build it. Plan events for friends, family or local groups, help an established planner, and document every event with photos. A small, strong portfolio beats a long list of claims.
How do event planners get clients?[ + ][ − ]
Through referrals, vendors and being easy to find. Build relationships with venues and vendors who recommend planners, and show your work on a clear website and social pages. Your AI team builds the brand, site and ads from one brief.
Am I still in charge?[ + ][ − ]
Always. Your team checks in before anything ships. You say yes or no, and they take it from there.
How much does SoGood cost?[ + ][ − ]
Free to start, with enough to test an idea. Pro is $49/month when you're ready, with no long-term contract.
How fast can I launch?[ + ][ − ]
Fast, when you’ve answered enough for your team to build. Of the founders whose site went live, half were live within about 20 minutes of signing up and nine in ten inside a day. Payments and a custom domain need a few steps only you can do.
Can I cancel anytime?[ + ][ − ]
Yes. Plans are month-to-month. You keep everything that’s already shipped — your site, your assets, your data, your accounts.
Start free with your first business case and a draft landing page. Pro adds a full website on your own domain, a brand kit, SEO, payments, ad campaigns and 1,225 credits each month.
Credits cover AI usage; ad spend is billed separately.
