Thank you so much

Underrated comment.

[@saraguessous9078]

If you wanna host your first event with 1000 people God bless you, you’re gonna have a mental breakdown, LOL

[@RussianNosebeers]

If people have your mindset then yes you will have a mental break down 😂

[@connerisbauld]

So I’m planing a massive event in Leeds already feeling the stress of getting it in budget 😂😂😂

[@JamieWhite]

My first real event was with 1,500 lol, I think I did have a bit of a breakdown bringing it to life but thankfully it worked out well.

[@joaquinvergara4699]

my first event was with 1100 people at 18yo, I've never been so stressed in my life

[@elijahvin97]

@@JamieWhite I have a question so I saw this video tonight and I am trying to host my first big gospel concert. I’m trying to think about using a church or an arena. The reason why I want to use an arena because some of the churches are not allowing people to use their facility and then it is a little bit of irritating for me lol because I have the venues that’s not churches that let’s just say that is like Xfinity center in Maryland where I live at but sometime those venues don’t answer their emails or different stuff like that what I’m trying to say is how do you deal with that when people consistently do not answer or the answer you at their own time or they give you a facility paper but they said it’s not a contract but you have doubts that it is. What do you do with that? It’s a lot to it that I’m trying to figure out as well. I’m trying to get my artist to respond and then they don’t sometimes but it’s the same as the venues even trying to get sound people and backline instrument sometimes people answered sometimes people don’t, but how do you deal with all that without getting irritated for your first event like this, as I stated about my first gospel concert event

[@colrunswild4adventure781]

Hey Jamie Great video. I've given myself 2 years to organise my 1st marathon for 150 participants and the hardest part for me is getting all the legal information.

[@lucianocastillo694]

I don’t think so, I’m not going into this thinking I’m gonna crash. I’ll learn everything I need down to a tee, get a team & do it. Don’t need negative expectations

How did it go. I was having the same feelings.

Thanks so much Charley. This comment was posted almost 2 years a go. I'm curious, how are you getting on?

[@misskingii]

Yes! Thank you for this! Ive always loved to plan and help coordinate things and planning my first event for November and I'm excited but nervous. But, this was so helpful! Edit: The event went great! All went well and I'm excited to begin planning events regularly!

[@NelsonAyodele-vj1gm]

That's nice will you like to make a promo video for the event?

Hi! Watching from Alaska and right off the bat I knew you had a Dublin accent! Almost even a little more southern than Dublin. My dad is from Cork! Thanks for this video! I know you make a ton of videos but you didn’t start your video with an intro! No hello or anything! But lots of info! Thank you thank you!

Can you do a video on setting up a LLC and getting permits for your events ?

[@Simpeleneenvoudig]

Great to see that i existentially managed to start off in the right way haha

[@ip3931]

I'm only here because of a fantasy that will never happen ie book launch party and watching this as I rot in a council flat without any prospects, any friends, any family, any ideas, any clarity BUT I would so love to be one of these successful people who win at life.

[@recefraser4780]

Start it,just do it,even if you do it and fail you will learn from your mistakes

[@luanne4380]

One suggestion would be to try and change your self talk, and old programming per say. There is a lot of Power in our words and thoughts. You may consider creating a vision board, practice visualizing your event being successful. And for me, I always ask God of the Universe for guidance. For all who believe in their hearts, God is faithful to answer our prayers🙏. Praying you will experience all of Gods amazing gifts: Love, Happiness, Joy, Peace, Prosperity, Strength, Wisdom, and Patience❤️🙏❤️

You should see my list of, “do we have this shit!” 🤣👍🏻

[@chia8506]

If your hosting/organizing your first event would you say 30-50 max is a good cap for how many people should come to the event?

[@JamieWhite]

It really depends on what kind of event you’re going to host ana how well resourced you are but as a principle stay well within yourself comfort zone for event 1

[@chia8506]

Thank you that is a good rule of thumb! I want to organizing a networking brunch social so just trying to set realistic expectations for myself. Thank you!

[@Huss_01]

@@JamieWhite Is an event of 600 people recommended for my first event?

[@enlovegyjourney]

Lol, I have a birthday party with 150 people. I'm scared but the best thing about it I can do everything long as it's the 70s and color black, sliver and white.

I’m 13 and I’m interested in event planning and I have a lot of opportunities in relation to it but I don’t know where to start I’ve been told to research which I’m doing but I don’t know the next steps to take, any advice ? I’m thinking of around 50 people for my first event or maybe less but I have some connections with Venues and I’ll be earning the money from tickets and the venue earns the money from the bar

So I am thinking if hosting a free event to the public i know it sounds dumb but I like seeing everyone happy and having a good time it makes me happy. Now I was thinking for this coming easter. My worries is if i promote it and people see it and then all of a sudden a bunch of people show up like how do I calculate for that how to know how many are going to come.

[@2HUNGRY]

If you have an online registration that can help you keep somewhat of a count & if you get too many attendees you can switch your venue or close tickets.

However we were going to throw a Thanksgiving night event but so many other people or events are happening now should we still throw ours?

Absolutely, there will always be others out there doing their own thing. Don't let them get in the way of you doing yours. Instead, take inspiration from them and get out there!

Soooo go with the SL100 rather than the SAM 550 😬

[@JamieWhite]

How do you mean? I'm a bit confused.

[@aleisterholy]

@@JamieWhite Not sure what I was referring to. Perhaps that a Stageline SL100 (24x20) is a much more cost efficient stage than someone trying to bring in a huge artist with a hella production rider, (which would be on a SAM 550 or higher). Much cheaper audio and lighting package as well.
