Pros

  • • Great job for people who are social - have to contact and communicate with lots of different people like DJs, rental companies, florists, etc.
  • • One of the more sociable creative freelance jobs for extroverts
  • • Lots of variety in how you work - often it's part remote (setting up the event) and part on-the-job (attending the event on the day)
  • • Super rewarding to see the event come together

Cons

  • • Very stressful job with lots of responsibilities - you need to manage many details simultaneously, and things can go wrong, like double bookings or last-minute issues
  • • Not a typical 9-to-5 job - events often take place in the evenings or on weekends so your schedule can be irregular
  • • Requires a lot of time on the phone and dealing with numerous queries and people daily
