Very comprehensive special event decor, staging and managing

A great resource for all aspects of event management -- full of innovative ideas, creative designs for all budgets, and fasinating insider information on how it all gets accomplished. I highly recommend this book for both experienced and novice event planners and professionals.

By Sherry DeLaGarza, CMP
This book is jam-packed with practical and useful tips on adding just the right touches that take an event from being "good" to "totally outstanding". No matter the budget or type of event - there is something for everyone. I don't intend to plan any events without first consulting this book.

By V. Slavich
I just graduated from college and am thinking of pursuing a career in Event Planning. I ordered this book to learn more about the subject only to find that it was another textbook! With that being said, it is a good book still. Some of the administrative information is pretty basic but I find the artistic design elements that are weaved throughout the text to be rather interesting. It is as good book to get acquainted with the industry, just expect it to be written like a textbook.
