Building Financial Confidence Through Smart Event Planning
We believe that mastering event budgets opens doors to broader financial literacy. Our approach combines practical planning skills with real-world money management principles that extend far beyond any single celebration.
What Drives Our Mission
Since 2019, we've watched countless people struggle with event costs that spiral beyond their means. That's why we focus on education first—teaching sustainable planning methods that actually work in the real world.
Practical Budget Mastery
We teach proven methods for tracking expenses, comparing vendor quotes, and building realistic timelines that prevent last-minute financial stress. Our students learn to create detailed spreadsheets and use apps that actually simplify the planning process.

Long-term Financial Skills
Event planning teaches transferable money management skills. Students discover how to negotiate contracts, understand payment terms, and create emergency funds—knowledge that improves their overall financial health.

Community-Centered Learning
Our Perth-based workshops bring together people from different backgrounds who share their experiences with vendor relationships, cultural celebrations, and budget challenges specific to the Australian market.
Our monthly meetups regularly feature 20+ participants sharing vendor recommendations and cost-saving discoveries from their own events.
Our Teaching Philosophy Goes Beyond Numbers
We started brivanthesquo because traditional financial education felt disconnected from real life. Event planning, however, forces you to make concrete decisions with actual money at stake. You can't just read about budgeting—you have to practice it.
Our courses run from September 2025 through March 2026, giving students time to plan actual events while learning. This isn't theoretical work. People graduate with working budgets, vendor relationships, and most importantly, confidence in their money decisions.
"The best financial education happens when you're solving real problems with your own money. Event planning provides that perfect practice ground."
