Founder Spotlight
Learn from Someone Who's Been There
After years of planning high-end events, I kept hearing the same question: ‘Where did you learn to plan like this?’ The truth is, I had to figure it out through trial and error. The Purple Print is the course I wish I had when I started—practical, professional, and purpose-driven.

What Makes Us Different
Real-world Structure, Not Just Theory
Everything we teach comes from actual event experiences—the weddings we’ve planned, the corporate events we’ve executed, the destination celebrations we’ve orchestrated. You’re learning proven systems that have been tested in the field, refined through experience, and designed to work in real-world scenarios.
When we share a client communication template, it’s one we’ve used hundreds of times. When we teach you how to create a timeline, it’s based on events we’ve actually managed. Nothing theoretical, nothing untested.
Rooted in Purpose, Not Hype
The event industry can sometimes focus too much on aesthetics and trends while neglecting the substance that makes planning sustainable and meaningful. We believe in teaching you how to plan with intention, excellence, and integrity—qualities that build lasting reputations and businesses that stand the test of time.
We won’t promise you’ll book 10 clients in your first month or that you’ll be planning celebrity weddings by next year. Instead, we promise to equip you with the foundations that make such growth possible when combined with your dedication and hard work.
Global-Ready. African-Born.
The Purple Print brings a grounded, Ghanaian-grown perspective to event planning education while ensuring everything we teach works internationally. Our systems and approaches have been field-tested across different cultures, markets, and price points.
Whether you’re planning elegant weddings in Lagos, corporate events in London, or destination celebrations in Accra, the principles, processes, and professionalism we teach translate seamlessly across borders.
Warm, Not Intimidating
We speak to you like a trusted mentor—clear, kind, and practical. There’s no gatekeeping, no industry jargon designed to confuse, and no ego. Just genuine guidance from someone who’s walked the path before you.
The event industry needs more collaboration and fewer barriers. That’s why our teaching style focuses on clarity, encouragement, and actionable advice you can implement immediately.
