I'd love a bit of advice if so, trying to tap into the power of the dot net hive mind.

My partner is trying to get some experience in the industry while she's at college. The problem she's facing is all she's getting is waiting/bar work offered, rather than a chance to actually see how events are put together.

Is this just how it goes? Ie, do your time behind the bar and work your way up to being involved with the planning? Or is there somewhere she could shadow an established events planner to see how it's done?

Any help or pointers would be brilliant.
Does it have to be paid work? Several of the big hotels in Edinburgh have their own in-house event planning staff. If it’s just unpaid experience I am sure she could contact them and they would help. Alternatively I have a contact at Blue Parrot who could maybe help.
