I want to keep this event site private with a login page similar to that of the admin area in expression engine ...I have the form ready but need some help coding it in EE? Actually it’s a simple login page with two text fields and a submit button.

If you google .htaccess and password together that might suit your needs. Especially if you are getting into accounts and such.
You could create a username of “private” and a password of “party” and send that out to the people that would need to access the site.
Or maybe you’re wanting something entirely different.

Thank you Christopher for pointing the obvious. This is a much easier way of protecting the site from unwanted users. I am working on it right now. Thanks a million.

It’s a bit less secure than other methods, but I’ve used this method in the past to put a “lock” on a directory.
Glad this will work for you.
