The Biggest Challenges Event Entrepreneurs Face
People often say,
“The event industry looks exciting.”
They’re right.
It is exciting.
Every event is different. Every client has a new idea. Every project teaches something new.
But there’s another side that people rarely talk about.
The long days.
The pressure.
The unexpected problems.
The responsibility of making someone else’s important day go exactly as planned.
If you’re building an event management company, you’ll discover very quickly that success isn’t only about creativity. It’s about staying calm when things don’t go the way you expected.
Over the years, Himani Sharma and the team at Baba Saab Events have faced challenges that no planning sheet could have predicted. Looking back, those difficult days taught us more than the easy ones ever did.
Winning Trust Before Winning Business
When you’re new, people don’t know your work.
Clients ask,
“Which events have you managed?”
“Can we see your previous projects?”
Those questions can feel difficult when you’re just starting.
Every event company faces this stage.
The only way forward is to do excellent work whenever someone gives you a chance.
One happy client often opens the door to many more.
Every Event Comes With Pressure
People celebrate birthdays every year.
Companies organise annual meetings every year.
But for the client, their event happens only once.
That means there are no second chances.
The pressure feels real because you’re responsible for moments people will remember for years.
Learning to work under that pressure is part of becoming an event entrepreneur.
Plans Change Without Warning
You can prepare for weeks, and still something unexpected happens.
A flight gets delayed.
A speaker reaches the venue late.
It starts raining just before an outdoor function.
Guests arrive earlier than expected.
The job isn’t about avoiding every problem.
It’s about finding solutions without creating panic.
Building the Right Team Takes Time
Finding people who genuinely care about the work isn’t easy.
Technical skills can improve with practice.
A positive attitude is much harder to teach.
We’ve learnt that a team which stays calm during difficult situations is worth far more than a large team that loses confidence under pressure.
Every Client Thinks Differently
Some clients know exactly what they want.
Others need guidance from the first meeting.
Some focus on the budget.
Others focus on the guest experience.
Understanding different personalities is just as important as understanding event planning.
Listening carefully often solves problems before they begin.
There Are No Fixed Working Hours
People often imagine event management as a regular business.
It isn’t.
Some days begin before sunrise.
Some end after midnight.
Phone calls don’t always wait for office hours.
During event season, weekends usually become working days.
It isn’t easy.
But when you enjoy creating experiences, the effort feels worthwhile.
Learning Never Stops
Every year, guest expectations change.
Venues improve.
Technology changes.
Design styles evolve.
The people who continue growing are the ones who keep learning.
Experience is valuable, but curiosity keeps a business moving forward.
What We’ve Learnt at Baba Saab Events
One thing Himani Sharma often says to our younger team members is,
“Don’t measure your progress by the number of events you’ve completed. Measure it by the number of problems you’ve learnt to handle.”
That thought has stayed with us.
Every challenge has made Baba Saab Events stronger.
Every difficult event has helped us prepare for the next one.
Looking back, those challenges never held us back.
They helped us grow.
A Final Thought
Building an event company isn’t always glamorous.
There are stressful days.
There are difficult conversations.
There are moments when nothing goes according to plan.
But there are also moments when a client smiles and says,
“Everything was exactly the way we hoped.”
Those few words make every late night, every early morning and every challenge feel worthwhile.
Because in the end, event management isn’t only about organising celebrations.
It’s about earning people’s trust.
And that’s something no shortcut can ever replace.
