Reader Kathryn Murphy from Roanoke, Virginia says, "I highly recommend this book to
anyone who is considering a career in the event planning industry. The author, Jill Moran,
shares so much information with her readers - more than most "how to" instructors.
I was so pleased with the way she mapped out the entire process. She's very thorough;
it's plain to see that she's an industry expert. She also cites many excellent resources
for those who are new to event planning. I am very satisfied with this investment. It
