"If you are seeking to start your business in Event Planning, I would recommend Clayton State University CaPE's Event Planning course. 

My interest was always planning events.  For the past 10 years, I volunteered planning events for various groups and organizations.  In 2018, I started my event planning & design business "Hartley Parties”.  To expand the services and further professional development I enrolled in the Event Planning Certificate Program at Clayton State University, Continuing & Professional Education, in 2019. The program enhanced my proficiency in event planning industry practices and provided me with the confidence to advance my business.

In 2020 the business began to increase.  Although the event industry took a big hit during the Covid-19 pandemic, Hartley Parties strategized and started offering the “Pop Up Party” to accommodate a small number of guests in clients’ homes and backyards. 

Hartley Parties continues to provide event planning & design services in cities across GA which include weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, showers, gender reveals, social banquets and specialty-themed parties.
