How to become a successful wedding planner
Several factors contribute
to your success as a wedding planner.
1. Creativity is the basis of a good wedding planner.
You must be able to come up with solutions for different
scenarios. Budget weddings, theme weddings, managing
last-minute hiccups, dealing with wedding day disasters
and more recently organizing same-gender marriages
- all require creative trouble shooting.
2. You also need to be organized and have an eye
for details. For example, managing a gala event
requires the ability to juggle many contractors
and get things organized quickly and efficiently.
3. The ability to network well and build relationships
with wedding service providers also helps.
But the single most important
factor in determining your success as a wedding planner is confidence.
It's the confidence that you have in your abilities
as a wedding planner will determine how successful you
become. And the only way to gain confidence in yourself
is through knowledge.
Signing up for an accredited course like the one provided
by The Institute of Professional Wedding Planners gives
you the knowledge you need to go about planning a wedding
in a systematic manner.
It will train you to approach nervous and excited young
brides with confidence. Knowing that you have learned
the art of wedding planning puts you at ease and makes
you more able to handle any situation that may develop
or arise.
Of course you could choose to learn by trial and error,
but you risk losing your reputation as a wedding planner
through bad publicity. So instead of jeopardizing your
career, why not assure its triumph by getting accredited
as a professional wedding coordinator!

It's a glamorous job
Remember Jennifer Lopez in
'The Wedding Planner'? How would you like
to be the glamorous Wedding Planner who
gets to have all the fun of organizing a
wedding and being paid to do it all? Picture
this:
A young couple, madly in love, signs you
up as their Wedding Planner. You get to
dress up and visit all the fancy hotels
and wedding venues, and taste the gourmet
food provided by wedding caterers. Plus
you'll get to check in to the latest boutiques
shopping for the bride's wedding trousseau
and even have a blast at the bridal shower
and hen parties!
Picture yourself being able to put down
large sums of money and sign contracts with
various wedding vendors, being 'in' with
the best fashion boutiques in town and always
knowing exactly what's hot and what's not!
All your years of following the latest
wedding and fashion trends are finally going
to be appreciated. Every scrapbook that
you made as a young child is finally going
to get its due.
And at the end of the day, when you finally
put your feet up, it will be with the satisfaction
of knowing that you have made two people
and their families very happy. |

What are the benefits of working for yourself?
Being a wedding planner is hard work. It requires
negotiation skills, combined with creativity! And the
payoffs are huge.
- You get to be your own boss. No
more saying "Yes sir!" when all you are
thinking is "What a daft idea that is!"
No more having to look over your shoulder every time
you need a five minute break. And no one to tell you
how things should be done. You get to be your own
boss and do things your way.
- You'll be a flexi time worker.
You no longer need to report at 9 o'clock sharp even
if there is a blizzard raging outside. And, you are
no longer looking at a monotonous 9-5 routine. You
can decide your own working hours and choose how busy
you want to be.
- You can work around other commitments
in your life. You get to attend your child's school
play and spend the day with your sick mother. You
even get to surprise your spouse with a picnic lunch!
- And at the end of the day, you
get paid for all your great ideas. No sneaky boss
takes the credit for your work. The harder you work
the more you earn. Period!
Being a wedding planner is a great career that has
practically no set-up costs. All you need is a telephone,
lots of contact numbers and a roomful of enthusiasm.

How not to become a wedding planner
As you already know, wedding planning is a big money
industry. Now would you expect anyone to simply say,
"Hey, I know I'd be a good dentist, so I'm now
going to open my practice. Why don't you come let me
have a go at your teeth?" Would you consider visiting
this self-proclaimed dentist? No!
So why would you expect that someone about to spend
lots of money on planning a wedding would ever hire
a wedding planner with no training? No, they wouldn't.
They will look for someone who has the knowledge, skills,
abilities and training. Which is why you need to be
formally trained in this field.
And it's unlikely that you'll become a wedding planner
by assisting another planner.
For one thing, most wedding planners work alone. They
only take on as much work as they can handle, and have
little or no need for assistants.
Also, why would anyone train potential competitors?
The good news is that this keeps a lot of people out
of the industry, and gives you a better chance to succeed.
The only way to become a wedding planner is to set
up your own business from scratch. And that's where
we come in.
The best way to become a wedding planner is by doing
the Diploma course from the Institute of Professional
Wedding Planners.
Still need convincing?
The Wedding Planning course is a distance
learning program and does not require
you to spend time, effort and money on
travelling to a far-off campus.
In addition, since all students
have their own pace of learning and can
commit different amounts of time, the course
is designed in a manner that allows each
student to proceed at their own pace.
Additionally, the cost of
the course is much lower than traditional
on-campus courses because many of our faculty
work from home. Also, we save the costs
of maintaining on-campus facilities, and
can put that money to better use by providing
a higher quality syllabus.
You pay just a one-time fee,
which is all-inclusive. No hidden fees and
no nasty surprises later! |
|
Who signs up for the course?
- People who already have some
experience in planning a wedding, possibly their own.
- People who are methodical,
and have an eye for detail.
- People who want to run their own
business, in a glamorous, exciting field.
When you complete the course
|
Once you complete the course, you'll
receive your Diploma. It's the formal recognition
you'll have earned of your skills and knowledge.
You also get to use the letters 'Dip.WP (Inst.WP)'
after your name.

You can get a free logo
(like the one on the right) to put on
your website and your note paper. This
logo gives potential clients added confidence
in your skills.
