COMMUNITY, COACHING & COURSES FOR NEW & ASPIRING PARTY PLANNERS

WHO ARE READY TO TURN THEIR SIDE HUSTLE INTO A BUSINESS!

NOW'S THE TIME TO

 

DO WHAT YOU LOVE

 

AND GET PAID FOR IT!

 

BUT...I HAVE A CONFESSION

 

I LOVE PLANNING PARTIES...BUT...I HAVE

NO IDEA HOW TO TURN IT INTO A BUSINESS!

I've looked everywhere and there’s NO DETAILED step-by-step training out there on how to do it.  

There's plenty of general business courses, but I need party planning specific information!

 

I have NO IDEA HOW TO CHARGE for my services.

I've been doing this as a side hustle for your friends and family for practically FREE!  

 

I have NO IDEA HOW TO FIND CLIENTS 

and when I do they don't want to pay enough and I end up making no money!​​

 

AND...HONESTLY...I'M SCARED 

I’ll spend all this time and money to launch a party planning business the wrong way, make costly mistakes and ultimately fail.

HERE'S THE PROBLEM...

 

RIGHT NOW

 

YOU'RE WORKING A SIDE HUSTLE YOU LOVE FOR FREE !

 

IMAGINE...

 

WHAT YOU COULD HAVE DONE WITH ALL THAT

 

EXTRA MONEY

 

IF YOU DIDN'T GIVE AWAY YOUR TIME AND  TALENT FOR FREE!

 
 

You could have taken a vacation, paid off some bills, or treated yourself to spa days!

You can continue to leave that extra money on the table or you can RECLAIM IT and

GET SERIOUS

 

about transforming your hobby into a money-making party planning business!

 
 
 

DON'T GO IT ALONE!

 
 

UNITE!

POWER IN COMMUNITY!

YOU'RE NOT ALONE

Sharing ideas, wins, and even frustrations amongst a group of other like-minded party planners all in the same boat as you is not only refreshing it is necessary.

WHO YOU LEARN FROM

MAKES A DIFFERENCE

There’s no better way to learn how to start and run a successful party planning business than learning from someone who has been there, done that and continues to run a successful six-figure event planning business!

 

When things get rough, and they will, be able to rely on an expert you can ask questions and get real answers!

HI, MY NAME IS

TONYA COLEMAN

 

An Event Planner Coach

 

AND...Owner and Creative Director of Soiree Event Design -- a six-figure event planning studio specializing in planning events, styling for brands and graphic design. 

 

I'VE BEEN AN ENTREPRENEUR FOR OVER 20 YEARS!  

I was a young, black single mom with a newborn in a new city when I started my business—some haters may say the odds were stacked against me to win.  If I had waited for the "right time"...or...waited for permission...I would have never took that leap of faith and launched my business.  I'd probably be in a corporate job right now, wasting time doing something I don’t love. INSTEAD, I worked my butt off to scale my business to six-figures and am now enjoying the benefits & flexibility of being MY OWN BOSS!

 

I'M ALL ABOUT THIS ENTREPRENEURIAL LIFE!

Yes, running your own business is hard but the rewards are well worth it when your hard work is directly connected to YOUR success and not the success of your employer.  

 

DON'T ASK PERMISSION!  

Take your destiny into your own hands. Get the tools and training you need to create a business you love and MAKE IT HAPPEN!

 

My business has worked with many brands, businesses and celebrities for over 20 years...

 

Tonya Coleman of Soiree Event Design is the real deal. She is a badazz! She has been the engine behind six successful UNCF Masked Balls. Her attention to every level of detail and remaining calm and collected is a testament to her ability to always be client-focused.

 

| Laverne McCartney-Knighton |

Area Development Director, UNCF

 

I've had the good fortune to partner with Tonya Coleman on events large and small. She's truly a partner. Through her creativity, she brings the WOW! Through her experience, she brings the know-how. From her maturity, she brings grace. I'm clearly a fan and the praise is due to her excellent work and wonderful spirit.

OUR WORK

Here are a few samples of my styling, event planning and candy table work with UNCF, Mattel (Monster High, Ever After High) and more!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I had the pleasure of working with Tonya Coleman of Soiree Event Design on my national conference BASH for 2 years. Tonya can do it all. Her organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills are outstanding and greatly contributed to the success of the event. An added bonus is her extensive knowledge of graphic design sets her apart and she is able to coordinate and brand an event from concept to completion.

RAVE REVIEWS

 
 

Let me tell you I will NEVER undersell myself again after the Charge Your Worth course. I no longer will do a party without getting my worth and making a profit. This course helped me to be clear and precise on who I have as a client and how I can actually enjoy my work because I can see the profits. She also enlightens on what exactly it is that you should and should not be doing as an event planner. If you really want to do what you love and buy the things you want and love...sign up now!

 

Tonya really is right on time and so on point with this Candy Tables and Dessert Tables 101 course! I had been stumbling my way through trying to figure out how to set up and how to execute a polished and professional table and this course did just that. Tonya gives a very clear and focused explanation on the do's and don'ts of planning. You can feel the love and her desire for her clients to win in her upbeat and fun tone throughout! ​

Taija Silva

Owner, Regally Adorned Events & Sweets

The Get Your Mind Right course is the perfect way to kick off the Partypreneurs 101 series. It pushes you to really think about what you want from your business. Tonya provides tips on how to "get out of your own way" when it comes to launching your business and behaviors you have to exhibit to be successful at party planning.  AND it's wonderful that this class is free when purchasing any other class. Being able to take this class for free really shows that Tonya wants you to win!

 

I also purchased the Charge Your Worth course and got exactly what I was looking for and more! I was just looking for guidance on how to charge for a party...what I got was detail on what type of clients I want to work with, what services a planner provides, the importance of time management and how it relates to being profitable, and MORE.  Looking forward to completing the action plan!​

Shannon Towles

Owner, A Touch of Towles

With the pandemic as an event planner, I thought I was ruined.

 

I just finished Tonya’s Diversify Your Revenue course and let’s just say...total GAME CHANGER!

 

There was so much amazing information that I have watched it a couple times and I got something new every time!

 

I highly recommend this course and it is WORTH EVERY PENNY!

 

I am now feeling prepared in an upside down world to thrive.

 

Thanks Tonya! 

 

Melissa Estepp

Owner, Premier Events by Melissa

In 2014 I was working as a Sales Director when my son got sick with Leukemia. Having to quit my job of 10 years was not only scary but also it impacted the finance at home pretty hard.  I was going crazy with all the things happening in my life trying to figure it out what to do with my life and trying to find a job that could allow me to stay at home with my kid and earn enough money for me. 

 

Doing some research online I found Tonya’s training that really changed my life.  Reading Tonya's story, knowing how she started, getting all the tips, training and amazing templates made me realize that I could start my own business and that I could be successful doing something that I never thought could be a profitable business. I used all of this information to start my own mobile party business from scratch which is still very successful after 6 years.  I truly believe that without her training I would be doing something completely different (and boring maybe).  I can't thank you enough Tonya! You are truly one of the  most inspiring entrepreneurs that really made a difference in my life!

Owner, Princess & Tiaras

 

I have a diploma in events management which is mainly for fundraising and bigger events. But I have been looking up and down for professional and personalized party planning training including pricing and client consultations. Thank you so much for providing these courses, I don't think there's anything else like it out there.

Natasha Clough

Event Planner

I was planning events for family and friends and turned it into a business. Tonya's training on Charging Your Worth, stuck out to me the most. It was the way she broke it down in terms of the rental income side and the salary side. I use this pricing structure today and have since increased my prices to make sure I am paying myself a decent wage. My goal is to take my event planning/ decorating business full time! 

Talia Foster

Owner, Lavish Events by Talia

Working with Tonya, I have learned to be strong in my leadership voice and learned new tools to make my planning more efficient. If you are new to party planning or need a refresher on the ins and outs of event planning... Learning from an expert is key and Tonya's training is the best out there!

When I first started my business, Tonya's party planning business was one of the first to inspire me. I wanted to know how she ran her successful business.  Tonya's training offered her step-by-step strategy on starting and running a successful party business. No theories, no fluff —just right to the point advice.

Owner, Parties on Purpose

 

The Partypreneurs School was the best decision that I’ve made in a while.

I’m about to Be My Own Boss! The courses are very thorough, informative and exactly what I need to be a successful party planner. I had no clue of how to do what I love for money.  I just knew how to plan great parties for friends and family for free but now I feel prepared and ready to introduce the world to my business with the tools that I was lacking and the confidence to stop giving away my time for free. If you want to run a successful business to be proud of, Partypreneurs 101 is for you!

Juanedra Jenkins

Current Student, The Partypreneurs School

Pricing My Worth was my biggest fear! 

Partyprenuers 101 is the best thing that happened to me.  I now know my worth and I have more confidence in my pricing. All the classes have impacted me—I learn something new from each one—things that I did not know that will help me be successful and things that will stand me apart from the rest of the event planners in my city.   I would recommend these classes for anyone who is serious about starting or taking their current business up a notch.  Some may think it’s pricey but it’s truly worth every penny.  You will gain so much knowledge to enhance your business.

  • Why should I join this membership instead of others?

    Well, that’s pretty simple. This is a program taught by an event planner for event planners! There aren’t very many courses out there that teach specifically the party planning business and definitely not by an event planner who has been there and DONE THAT! It has been a passion of mine to share my knowledge of the event planning business with other women event planners so we can all be BADASS and PROFITABLE business owners living our best lives! I never did understand why other planners don’t want to share their “secret sauce”. Not me…I’m spilling all the TEA! AND…I have the business to prove it! I transformed my kids party planning business into a six-figure event planning business all while being a wife and mom of 5! YOU CAN DO IT TOO, but it takes an investment and work on your part.
