How to become wedding planner?

There are two possibilities: you work for a company that is already “in business” or start your own business. The second possibility is safer and faster, because jobs like this are not easy to find. Ideally, however, it is to start from a minimum experience in working with people or events.

The minimum investment required consists of company initiating funds, creation of a website or a catalog of presentation for services and purchase of essential items: bags and scarves, candles and other possible accessories, business cards etc. You can start organizing the wedding of someone close to you so you get the picture and a portfolio presentation. With it you will go to suppliers in different areas (flower, decoration companies, jewelry, beauty salons) and will establish contacts for future collaboration. These can be potential suppliers and customers. However, it is better to hunt for any way to find applicants for your services, so you can leave business cards everywhere: restaurants, photographers, DJs, shops, fairs and weddings.

How much can you earn? It depends on the orders they have. Typically, you rent items that you have and you will mediate (with a certain fee) services and items from manufacturers. To succeed, it is best to start with relatively low prices for services and products and to add an item to stand out among the other organizers: do not inflexible offers and handle also the honeymoon.
