Great!

I highly recomment Gala! not only for its content, but also because it gives a great framwork on how to put together an event. Personally, it helped me preparing an 100 people event and I truly can say it great because it showed me how to pull all the elements together.What's different from other books, it's that Patti Coons explains how important are details while preparing your event.I great book overall!!!!

This is ALL you need!

I used this planner to organize an event for the Chamber of Commerce and it has EVERYTHING our group needed. All areas were covered, so NOTHING was overlooked; no last minute panics. Easy reading, checklist, sample letters, invitations, etc. Every Chamber and nonprofit organization should have a copy of this book.

An Event Planner Must Have Book.

As a professional meeting planner I found Gala to be an informative tool. This book would be helpful to anyone planning to organize an event. I felt Patti Coons' book is clear and covers the aspects of event planning. An easy to follow book full of advice that I recommend for the person looking to participate in planning an event.

Great for Beginners

I was recently charged with planning an event for my office, and I had no idea where to start. Fortunately I found this book, and it has been a godsend. The author has thought of everything, down to the smallest detail. It is perfect for someone who has to put on an event, but doesn't know exactly where to begin.

An outstanding book

This book is a must read for everyone. It is a book that can help not only the person that is a professional in the field of event planning but for the person who has never given an event. The step by step instructions are very easy to follow. The author covered all the aspects of what you need to do to plan a successful event. I just can't praise the author enough for writing this book.
