Business Plan Assistant

Does one absolutely have to start a business to become a wedding planner(unexperieced)?

Or are there companies that hire entry-level wedding planners? Or even wedding planning assistants to move up?

Here’s the thing. Most wedding planners are just one or two people companies. They are the business, themselves. There may some true “companies” that are larger that do this in some of the bigger cities, but not in most cases.

I have been in the business for 17 yrs. In my area, brides hiring a wedding planner/coordinator has just really taken off in the past 5-6 yrs. I have been a lot busier and therefore just now needed an assistant. I have hired one who is learning as she goes, in the hopes that one day she can take on some of the weddings on her own.

I would advise you to start slowly. See if you can get a part time job at a bridal shop. This will really give you a clue into the drama and emotion that is involved in the wedding planning process & whether or not you will be able to handle the brides (and their moms). Work there for awhile. If you are not turned off by the mundane parts of the business, then try to find a reputable planner in your area to do an apprenticeship with. Work your way up to assistant, and then on to your own.

I do not recommend anyone just getting certified online & immediately opening a business. If you did this, you would probably be out of business in 6 mos. Brides care about actual hands on experience more than a certificate & a store front.
