In the dynamic world of event planning, individual planners often wear many hats – strategist, problem-solver, logistics expert, and even marketer.
Whether you’re organising a community fair, a local festival, or a private gathering, the journey from concept to execution can be both rewarding and overwhelming.
With limited resources and the pressure to meet high expectations, solo event planners often face unique challenges that larger teams don’t. That’s where OnePlan Solo comes in.

Limited Resources: Solo planners often work with tight budgets and minimal support, making efficiency essential.

Frank Ago’s Community Fair
Frank Ago, a first-time event organiser, used OnePlan to meticulously plan a historic community fair ‘The Great Fair of Shalford’ in the UK. With no prior experience, Frank faced significant challenges – from accurately mapping out the fairgrounds to ensuring safe crowd flow and accessibility. “OnePlan turns me into a professional event organiser,” Frank shared. By leveraging OnePlan’s features, Frank was able to create a detailed and efficient layout that
The Cheese & Chilli Festival
The organiser of the Cheese & Chilli Festival had one key priority: precision. Before using OnePlan, Simon had to switch between different programs to create his plan for the Cheese and Chilli Festival – a situation experienced by many event planners. He used a separate excel spreadsheet to collate the overlay needed for each event, while images were cut and paste from Google Maps to draw a site plan with shapes in PowerPoint. This process didn’t allow for accurate mapping or data capture, meaning his plans didn’t meet the professional standards of the events.
Using OnePlan’s centimetre-accurate tools, Simon was able to map out vendor booths, stage areas, and crowd flow paths to create an unforgettable experience for attendees.
Simon says: “OnePlan is easy to learn and use, delivers professional looking plans and gives me advanced tools for event management. Now I’m confident of the professional look of my site plans and I have the details and data to answer any question.” they said. Thanks to OnePlan, the festival runs smoothly, delighting visitors and vendors alike year on year.
Christmas in July
Kristen Hudgins used OnePlan to organise her Christmas in July event, featuring over 170 tents and exhibitors at a local farm. “The ability to scale the tents and ensure everything is perfectly placed has been a huge time-saver. I feel more confident in my site map,” Kristen shared.
Her event also included unique elements like a fire pit, ring toss games, and a petting zoo, each represented with bespoke icons in OnePlan. “It’s super accurate and gives me confidence when I’m on site,” she added.
