Diploma In Wedding Planning

Want to be a wedding planner?

Should you be a professional wedding planner?

Do your friends ask for your help organising their weddings?

Do you find yourself taking the lead when it comes to organising 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 a day to remember

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 organise?

Here comes the wedding planner

With an average wedding costing approximately £20,000, planning a wedding now requires the professional expertise of a wedding planner. Brides and grooms are far too busy earning the money to be able to actually organise such a mega event. Hence the need for a professional wedding planner.

However, not any old event planner will do. No bride or groom is going to hand over the planning of the most important day of their life to just anybody.

Weddings are an emotional event that must be dealt with sensitively.

In addition to all the arrangements, meetings, schedules and finances to handle, there are also ruffled feathers to smooth.

The wedding planner is thus more than just a hired hand, they liaise between the bride and groom's families. They must balance the flaring temper of the bride's father with the unreasonable demands of the groom's mother as well as the sensitive emotions of the bride's mother.

If that wasn't confusing enough, the wedding planner is often called upon to act as judge and jury on debates raging within the family itself, and has to guide them on the proper wedding etiquette.

Wedding planning requires training and expertise. Just because you spent a year planning your own wedding does not make you qualified to become a wedding planner!
