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.

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.
