Want To Be A Wedding Planner
Do you have what it takes to begin a career in the wedding planning field
?
To become a wedding planner, and to be respected as a professional, there are many benchmarks to be achieved. You must prove a level of experience or training. The bridal consultant is supported by referrals from other wedding professionals and former clients. In order to gain this referral base, you must be able to prove your value. You must show them your training level, your experience within the profession and your ability to make it work. And the most is that you must be interested in wedding dress.
1. What makes you want to be a wedding planner? If it's because you think it would be a fun job, going to a "party" every weekend, stop here. Although planning a wedding can be very rewarding, and sometimes great fun, it is hard, sometimes stressful work. It's nothing like planning one's own wedding either. But, if you know that you love details, love organizing and creating events, have some experience that proves you can make it work, a career in wedding planning just might be for you! Your experience could include friends and family who always depend on you to organize and create family gatherings and events.
2. Register Your Business - Now that you are in the process of learning about weddings, take the appropriate steps required by your city, county or state to license your business.
3. Advertising - When your training is complete, and you are properly registered and licensed as a business, start to investigate advertising for your business. Online directories such as Team Wedding can offer more affordable advertising or even some free wedding advertising.
4. Invest in a Professionally Designed Website - Today's bride has limited time and uses the web extensively to find resources. Just remember, "You get what you pay for", and your website will represent you and your business. Make sure it makes you appear professional.
5. Location, Location, Location - Get set up in an office. Optimally, an office separate from your home will seem most professional and will allow you to meet with clients more comfortably, however, many consultants do operate out of their home office, at least at first.
6. Legalities - Every business should have an attorney (contracts) and business insurance to protect you, and your property, from loss due to accidents or litigations.
7. Join Associations - Further your professionalism by becoming a member and a part of a professional bridal associations such as Weddings Beautiful, June Wedding Inc., ACPWC, and AFWPI or online forums such as Coordinators Corner, an online community for bridal consultants from all over the world. With a reputable association you will be offered membership so that you can remain on top of wedding trends and continue your education.
