I receive daily inquiries on how to become a wedding consultant- and I’m very frank and honest about the roles we play and how important it is to have knowledge from the beginning. While television and the media may have glamorized our industry, the real truth is - this is hard work!! This job is not for the faint of heart nor the easily offended. If you get your feelings hurt easily, look at another profession. If you aren’t able to move at the speed of light and multi-task at the same time, consider another job. To be a wedding planner you need the patience of a saint, the skin of an alligator and the soul of an artist.
So, if you’ve read this far - I’m assuming you’re ready to take the plunge! I’d like to share some "tips" that I’ve accumulated over the years...and it’s my hope that you’ll read them and take note of what I’ve said. This is a wonderful profession, but...you have to understand that it is first and foremost your business and has to be approached and managed as such. Hopefully, my words will give you some insight into what being a wedding planner truly means and how to start your journey towards a satisfying and rewarding career in this field.
