Rating:  Summary: Great reference book Review: I think Judy Allen did a wonderful service to us all when she put together this book. It is ideal to keep to hand as a reference book. The templates are ideal and easy to adapt and it saves you endless time working out what you need where.
Used as a reference book it is a 'must have' for anyone involved with event planning of any size or occasion.
Rating:  Summary: Movie Stars and Presidents Review: I thought this book was much to focused on "major" events. After the first couple of chapters I really felt that the book was focused on setting up elaborate events for VIP's. If you have a very high budget and need to entertain celebrities, then this book will be helpful.

Rating:  Summary: Wonderful resource for advance planners Review: Judy Allen's guide is very thorough. Each chapter outlines the details of an event. This is an ultilmate guide to plan events. Very much for the advance event planner. Is not a 5 star because it is geared towards someone with more experience than a beginner.
Rating:  Summary: A great find! Review: Judy turns what could have been a rather dry subject into one that is filled with lively stories and money and time saving tips! It's easy to read and for a beginner (which I am) she brought up numerous "thought provoking" questions, I'd never even thought of! Even seasoned event planners will gain a lot from this book-reminding all of the basic principles of "an ounce of prevention". This book is well laid out and flows easily-following a time-line that one must follow to pull off a successful event. I especially enjoyed the stories and tips.All in all, I'd give this book a true "thumbs up". I will recommend it to anyone I know who is looking to engage in an event which will be long remembered.
