The uncomfortable truth for small business owners in the event and wedding planning space is that no matter how brilliant you are at executing events, you still have to be good at business to turn a profit. Andrew Roby knows this well, as an Army veteran-turned-event-planner who learned from the school of hard knocks how to turn a stressful, struggling business into a 7-figure success story.
“When I launched Andrew Roby Events, I knew I had talent and passion for creating beautiful events, but I didn’t know about marketing, branding, social media, taxes, finding the best vendors, hiring the right people, or setting my prices,” said Roby. “I was constantly stressed out and anxious, and I was tired of struggling to do what I loved.”
This challenge sent Roby on a decade-long quest to learn everything he could about becoming a successful entrepreneur in the D.C. events planning industry. He learned to systemize his business for maximum success and minimal hassles while consistently exceeding $1 million in annual sales. Roby now shares his secrets through an online course that teaches fellow entrepreneurs how to run a successful event and wedding planning business and “love every single second of it.”
The course helps event professionals:
- Establish a clear pricing structure
- Sell their services confidently without doubts or imposter syndrome
- Attract high-paying clients
- Build a dynamic, talented, dependable team
- Improve productivity
- Improve work-life harmony
The program is for novice entrepreneurs as well as seasoned event planning professionals looking to become more effective and profitable.
“I’m a firm believer that we all need to be in a state of learning. When we start believing we know it all, we need to reconsider,” said Roby. “This course is for any entrepreneur in the event and wedding planning industries looking for new ideas, strategies, and perspectives for growth.”
Roby has expanded his event and luxury wedding planning services beyond D.C. into Dallas and Los Angeles. He was one of just 43 U.S. event planners named to Eventex’s prestigious “100 Most Influential People” list. He also garnered Connect Corporate’s “40 Under 40 Award,” Wedding Wire’s “Couples’ Choice Award,” and BizBash’s “Top 500 Event Professional in America” recognition.
