Wedding Planner To Planner

The choice to follow the career of a wedding planner got you into a lot of training, first you have managed to apply to one of the online wedding planners courses where you have been tested and assessed in every way possible with a lot of assignments for which you were supposed to find pertinent solutions, all these being understood as practical training. But after graduation and having your Certificate of Wedding Planner in your pocket you have realized that the reality was actually another; that the theory you have been taught is only a precursory step to what you were supposed to take further in the career as a wedding planner.


You bumped into these thoughts one day when your friend came with a set of questions as from a wedding planner to planner, her job is also that of a planner, only that she is in charge only with corporate events planning, which again is something totally different from what you are meant to do as a wedding planner as it was soon to be seen right from your answers. You told her that for acceding to the status of a professional wedding planner you have passed through a lot of levels, since this job doesn't allow you to reach the highest peaks if you do not perform a lot of practical training, meaning working out there in the field of weddings, that is where the real thing is, where you can get the real experience from.

You remember how you first applied for the a job opening inside a wedding planning company run by experts in the wedding industry and when the manager asked about the experience you had in the field you just blushed and said that you are a new comer in this matter. That was the moment when you realized that some activity was required and you were determined to reach this position even if it meant to work as a volunteer. You was lucky enough to have found some occasions when you offered to deliver your services for free since you needed some practice to attain and as such the appropriate apprenticeship in the working field.

Your friend had asked you again as from wedding planner to planner for how long have you done this, and you answered back that this volunteer activity you had carried for one year long, in your free time as well, because meanwhile you had a proper job to allow you gain some money, this being your only financial support.

And the next step, to cut your friend's curiosity you started to answer the question that hung in her eyes, was to make your own portfolio which contained photos and written testimonials for the wedding events you participate with the planning and this portfolio with your certificate were the credentials you presented at your next wedding planner job interview.

Presenting these credentials helped you a lot in getting a job first as a consultant, after that getting deeper into the process you gained a lot of customers' liking many times they preferring you to be the person to help with the planning. Their decision determined your employer to advance you further levels and in this way, due to your dedication to the job, to the experience gained in the field and the constant updating in the bridal planning you manage to reach the status of a professional wedding planner, the status that you have today in the wedding industry.
