Before answering this question, think about your definition of success. For some, they may share an event that went smoothly without any issues that were carefully planned and executed. For others, it may be overcoming problems that arise and without affecting the satisfaction of your client or the guests. Give an example that displays your top qualities as an event planner, and show your passion and ability to manage events from start to finish.

"I have worked on a wedding of 200 people at a city park. Some of the challenges had to do with setting up electricity and power while staying within the constraints of the city for sound and lighting. My client had a very particular vision for the asthetic and design of lights and decor, with specific fixtures picked out. I communicated with my client about the constraints due to the location, and suggested a few variations that would help us to stay within the contract with the city while staying true to the vision. This event ended up being the most visually beautiful event I have put together, through careful planning and collaborating with the vision of my client. I was most pleased because of the quality and my client was extremely happy with the results."
