Master Your Miami Event with This Planning Chart

Planning a big event—whether it’s a wedding, corporate retreat, or family reunion—can feel like juggling flaming torches on a tightrope. That’s why I created the Event Planning Chart: a simple but powerful spreadsheet designed to keep you on track from start to finish. It’s one of my favorite destination management company tools, and it’s free to use.

Why use an event planning chart?

Even the best event planners can get overwhelmed. This chart works because it:

• Breaks projects into manageable tasks
• Establishes realistic deadlines
• Keeps communication clear with your team
• Helps avoid common oversights (like forgetting vendor confirmations)

Event planner help with a spreadsheet

You don’t need fancy software to stay organized. A good spreadsheet is flexible, easy to share, and can be customized for events of any size. Fun fact: some of the most elaborate celebrity weddings and Super Bowl parties in Miami started as simple spreadsheets. The key is to adapt the tool to your needs.

Pro tips for using the chart

• ✅ Add more rows to expand your timeline.
• ✅ Share in Google Docs so your team can update in real time.
• ✅ Use color coding for tasks (green = done, yellow = in progress, red = urgent).
• ✅ Print it out for site visits—sometimes pen and paper still win.

✅ Pro Tip: Keep the chart on your phone, but also print a copy. Wi-Fi isn’t always reliable, especially if you’re heading into the Everglades.
