AO Planners Collective was created to equip new and emerging event professionals with the foundational tools, proven strategies, confidence, and mentorship necessary to launch or elevate a successful event planning business.
This is not a generic course or one-size-fits-all program. It is a guided, experience-driven mentorship designed to help you move from uncertainty to execution, from ideas to structure, and from passion to leadership.
Our mission is to elevate, educate, and empower planners at every stage from emerging creatives to seasoned pros with tools, mentorship, collaboration, and inspiration that take your craft to the next level.
Our first offering, the Launch & Lead Workshop, is a hands-on, immersive experience designed to help planners build strong foundations, refine their vision, establish systems, and step confidently into leadership as they launch or reposition their brand in the event industry.
Are all about the logistics, from vendor referrals and contract negotiation to day- of -execution. As your event planner our goal is to create a stress free experience as you prepare for your new venture. You will have no need to do your own research; we'll take care of that for you.
Asil's Occasions also provides event designing which is pure aesthetic, and doesn't include things like contract negotiations or attending appointments. Our team of creative designers are more detailed and execute their client-driven designs with pride.
