Becoming a Wedding Planner

Are you a people-centred person? Are you overly interested in the details of every wedding you have ever attended? Do you like working with temperamental people on the most important days of their lives? Do you enjoy planning, planning, and more planning? If you answered yes to these questions, you just might be cut out to be a wedding planner.

I do not know of any college education in wedding planning. A business major is probably as close as you can get. Actually, a college education is not required. A good head for business is, of course, a must. One of the best ways to become a wedding planner is to find a wedding planning company that will take you on as an intern, probably unpaid. Yes, unpaid. Few if any wedding planners will teach you the game if they have to pay you too. You work for the experience and if you are very good you might get a job after the internship. Working with a good wedding planner is the best way to learn the business.
