Have you ever watched the film ‘The Wedding Planner’ and thought, I can do that?  Or perhaps you’ve always secretly dreamed of being Frank from ‘Father of the Bride?’ Well stop right there – wedding planning is nothing like that!

So What Does a Wedding Planner Do?

To be a wedding planner you need to have the soul of an artist, the patience of a saint, the skin of a rhinoceros, the speed of a March Hare and the ability to multi-task as only a female can.

It’s a common fact that wedding planners can save the day with their quick thinking and have an uncanny gift for thinking outside the square. Their knack for staying calm in stressful situations and superior versatility is unparalled. And don’t get me started on their organisational skills. Add to the pot their ability to put together a budget at the drop of a hat & a creative flair that rivals even the greatest designers, and you have a rough outline of the expertise required of a bridal consultant or wedding planner.

But take a deep breath, if the thought of ‘To Do Lists’ & ‘Itineraries’ makes you break out in a cold sweat and the word ‘Budget’ sends shivers down your spine, don’t despair. The Academy of Wedding and Event Planning can take raw talent and turn it into wedding planning excellence. They are currently taking new recruits whose ambition is to rise to the dizzy heights of ‘Certified Wedding Planner’. So if you have a dash of creativity mixed with a dusting of oganisation, and if the sight of a wedding magazine gives you heart palpations then you need to sign up for a course with the Academy.

The good news is enrolments are accepted all year round and you can work at your own pace, fitting your studies in with your alaready jam packed life. At the end of your course you will be ready to start your own business or work in someone else’s as a fully qualified wedding planner or bridal consultant.

So hop on the Academy Website and check it out for yourself and start your new career as a wedding planner.
