In this week’s episode, we had the pleasure of chatting with event planner and founder of Your Plan A Events, Patricia Aro. Patricia shares her event planning industry insights, best practices for collaborating, and connecting with vendors, and more!
PATRICIA’S STORY:
Patricia’s journey toward becoming an event planner started at the ripe age of eight years old. In the podcast, she reveals she kept a word document filled with screenshots of all the details she wanted to incorporate into her big day, sometime in the future.
Coming from a family who enjoyed putting together elaborate events, it was only natural for her to follow the event planning path. Her father was a design architect and, by owning his own company, inspired her to do the same one day.
Patricia earned a degree in Business Administration from William and Mary and pursued event planning on weekends while she was going to school.
She started her own company, Your Plan A Events, in 2019 and got married that same year. And yes, you guessed it, she planned her own wedding!
What she loves most about wedding planning is how every project/event/couple is so different. She loves getting to know new clients and helping them bring their vision to life.
“I’m a believer in what you put out is what you get back.” – Patricia
