Editorial Reviews

Review

"This 'seminar in a book' teaches all you need to know to become a professional wedding planner" -- Cathy Harris, International Association of Professional Wedding Planners

"This in-depth guide is a must read for anyone who wants to become a wedding consultant" -- Robbie Ernst III, Author, Great Wedding Tips From the Experts


Product Description

The wedding business is a $45 billion a year industry. With more than 2.4 million weddings taking place in the U.S. in 2004, there are more opportunities for wedding planners that ever before.

Wedding planners have an exciting high-paying job that lets them use their creativity to organize the happiest day of people’s lives. No special education is necessary to succeed in this career.

This book explains how to plan a wedding, including how to prepare a timeline schedule and budget, a step-by-step list of all tasks involved in planning a wedding, how to plan the ceremony and reception, how to select reputable vendors, and how to negotiate contracts and save money. The CD-ROM included with the book has many forms and checklists to use in wedding planning.

This book also provides information on more than a dozen types of employers that hire wedding planners, how to find job openings, how to prepare a resume, and how to do well in an interview.

Additionally, the book covers how to start a wedding planning business with little or no money and explains how to price services, find potential clients, create an impressive portfolio, and where to get creative ideas for weddings.

If you are starting a wedding planning business, this is the FIRST book to buy.Give a lot of inside information, as well as forms that you will need and use when finally launch your business. This book has samples of contracts, timelines for bride and groom as well as a timeline for you the Wedding Planner!!
Is a very informative and complete book. I still check it a lot!

4.0 out of 5 stars Dynamite!, August 11, 2005
For the size and intent, this is the best book on the market. If you are thiking of becoming a professional wedding planner, this introductory book covers all the things you will have to learn. What it doesn't cover in detail, it points you in the direction of where you can find more information, with recommended websites and book titles. What it won't do, however, is teach you all the minute and various specific details that apply to your market and jurisdiction. As with any business, you still have to do a lot of legwork before you can actually make any money. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to know exactly what's involved in getting started.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wedding Planner/Coordinator Guide , September 9, 2005
By Jennifer Bradley (Peoria, IL United States) - See all my reviews
I loved this book because it didn't totally focus on the aspect of becoming a wedding planner, but also the more silent topics. It provided me with perfect examples of purchase orders, service requests, billing, and the how to's of marketing my future business. One can apply the information in this book to almost any personal business with a little tweeking of words and services, of course.... Highly recommend the FabJob Guide to becoming anything your heart desires!!!
