The Resources You Need for Your Special Event
It’s not easy to find a place to host any type of event - no matter if you’re hosting 15 people or 150. And, if you don’t have the right location and amenities, you might start to worry about the success of your event.
At Clayton State University, we understand you want to be the trusted planner for your special event, but you may not have all of the resources you need. Finding an affordable venue in just the right location can be stressful, and we understand that cost can be a major factor in your decision.

"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.
