As of May 2018, employment in the events industry was reported to be about 110,120 in the U.S. excluding self-employed workers. This is how much competition you're getting in the industry.
Your event website is the one thing standing in the way of attracting more customers. As you envision the ultimate layout for your site, keep in mind your type of company and target audience.

2. Rosetree Weddings and Events
Rosetrees's website isn’t only elegant but also very navigable. Each page contains a navigation bar with dropdown effects. This brings more elegance to the design and makes it easy for visitors to navigate the site.
3. LB Event Planning
One excellent design practice is the use of social media icons and links on your website. LB's web design has a minimalist feel to it. The homepage is brief to-the-point with pink-colored social icons right at the bottom.

13. Twenty-Three Layers
These event gurus clearly understand what good web design is all about. Their site is colorful and neatly spaced, but best of all, it's mobile friendly. This means their clients can interact with their website on their phones without endless scrolling to the right.
Excellent Event Planning Websites
To create one of the best event planning websites, you'll need to consider design and content. The idea of having a website is for people to learn about your services and purchase. This means that your outlook should be impressive, but your copy should be persuasive.
