Wedding Planner Courses
The Wedding Planner Business School
If you have a passion for weddings, are well organised, articulate and have excellent attention to detail, then becoming a professional wedding planner can provide you with a fulfilling and rewarding career.
Wedding Planner has been helping couples to plan their weddings for 25 years, and so there's little that we haven't come across! We also have an in-house wedding planner, Marie, with over 10 years of experience and 600 weddings under her belt! Throughout that time Marie has met many amazing couples, visited some of the UK's most beautiful venues and worked with some super-talented suppliers.
Helping a couple to plan their wedding is not primerilly about spending large sums of money, it's about creating a day that truly reflects a couples love for one another. Once you understand your couple and their wishes you are well on your way to being able to help them to achieve their perfect wedding.
Ready to become a wedding planner? We can provide you with the skills to get the most out of your suppliers, work with clients, gain trust with venues, create an amazing party and ensure the budget is kept in check. However we strongly believe that to be a successful wedding planner you must discover that ‘instinct’, that passion to drive your career forwards. And of course, you must have a love of all things romantic!
How does it work?
So, you feel that wedding planning is for you and you need to gain the relevant experience and qualifications. You have already made a good start...investing in yourself is something you should always do in order to fulfill your dreams and career goals. People study differently and have different daily commitents. Some love to put aside a few hours a week and slowly make progress at a pace that suits their lifestyle, whereas others like to go flat-out to achieve their goals. We recognse that people are different and have developed courses to meet both approaches.
