Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Get the essential guide to making your events extraordinary!
Event planners need professional-caliber information that explains how to decorate a venue for a special event - from assessing the client's decor needs and objectives to staying within a budget. Art of the Event serves as the ultimate guide to designing and decorating events and celebrations, from eight to 8,000 guests.
Written by James C. Monroe, a Certified Meeting Professional (CMP) and Certified Special Events Professional (CSEP) with decades of experience in special event design and decoration, Art of the Event is divided into three comprehensive parts to help readers redefine the modern profession of event design: - Principles, Processes, and Practices: examines aesthetics, the design process, and professional practices
- The Decorative Elements: describes the various decorative elements that are used in special events and discusses how to use them in practical and specific ways
- The Universe of Special Events: describes various types of events that the designer is asked to create and discusses the different requirements of each, including nonprofit events, corporate events, social events, weddings, fairs, and parades

This book covered everything you need to know about event design and decor. It is written in a text book style format, but I appreciated that aspect of it. I would have like to see some colour pictures though instead of the sketches in the book. Overall, a very good resource.

The book covers a lot of bases but is unfortunately not detailed enough in anything. It barely skims over everything and I was left wanting a lot more detail on HOW to accomplish many of the decor items that were discussed briefly. Overall a boring read and most of the information in the book is readily available on the web.

I was very pleased to find this book was very well written with great illustrations throughout. The information was organized and easy to find. This is a must have for anyone who is involved with designing events.

I bought this book based on the reviews it had received. Big mistake. I could not believe that a book that speaks to visual appeal had no colour photos except on the cover page. Additionally, the sketches are not easy for those with learning disabilities to understand. So, if you are looking the step-by-step or easy to use guides, this is not the book to buy.

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.
