Becoming a Wedding Planner
Each Saturday, across the country, thousands of weddings
are taking place. Each of these
weddings is, and should be, one of the happiest days in the lives of the couple.
To make this happen, each wedding ceremony and reception is backed up by
months or even years.
This kind of planning can drive the bride to be and her
family nuts. That’s why so many
couples are turning to wedding planners to make their weddings beautiful and
stress free.
Wedding Planning Training
Strictly speaking, there is no formal training required of a wedding planner.
Starting a wedding planning business could be as simple as obtaining a
business license. However, in order
to ensure you’re ready for the job and give some reassurance to your potential
customers a training course may be desirable.
The Association of Certified Professional Wedding
Consultants is a national organization celebrating nineteen years as the primary
registered training and certification program for Wedding Consultants. The
course is registered by the Department of Consumer Affairs.
They offer a 5-day personalized training course, a 3-day extended weekend
class, seminars and a home study program for Wedding Planners/Wedding
Consultants. At the completion of
the course, graduates achieve certification, and benefit from the continuing
education support system offered by the Association.
Following training and obtaining a business license, it is
important to put together promotional items for your new company.
A professional website, business cards, brochures and other informational
materials are key to convincing potential clients that you have the organization
and the talent to make their wedding day a fairy tale.
Wedding Planner – While the position may be
called wedding planner, bridal consultant, wedding consultant or wedding
organizer, the mission is the same. The
wedding planner’s job is to ensure that all details of a wedding, from
rehearsal to the last dance at the reception are to the clients’ liking.
If
you enjoy helping to make people’s wedding memories as magical as possible, a
career in wedding planning may be right for you.
With minimal startup requirements and a seemingly base of
potential clients, this career may have you hearing bells. Whether you're having a beach wedding or a formal affair, it's fun to choose a special wedding favor for your guests. No matter what theme and color scheme you choose, your wedding favor will be a unique remembrance of your special wedding day.
