Earn a living as a wedding planner
Do you want to be a professional wedding
planner?
- Do your friends ask for your help organizing
their weddings?
- Do you find yourself taking the lead
when it comes to organizing a hen night?
- Is your wedding still being talked
about by
your family and friends?
If you answered a resounding 'Yes!' to these questions,
you should think seriously about changing career.
Brides and grooms want to remember their big day
Weddings are no longer the simple affairs they were in the
past. They have become lavish events geared to celebrate
the couple's union.
Brides enjoy nothing more than the chance to plan and enjoy
their fairytale wedding and spend the day being Cinderella.
Grooms who traditionally took a back seat when it came to
wedding planning have now started seeing it as an opportunity
to be the gracious host.
Is it any wonder then that weddings have taken on a larger
than life dimension and require considerable time, effort
and money to organize?

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. As for the methods and
systems used by wedding planners, just Sign up5 and we'll

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.
We look forward to helping you succeed.
