I always say that..I LOVE planning..anything! I'm always planning parties for friends/family, I'm planning my own wedding. I'm very organized and I just enjoy the whole Idea of planning such a special day for someone else.
Actually a very good family friend of mine is a wedding planner. Shes been doing it for over 15 yrs. Next time I see her I'm going to have to grill her on how she got started!

Re: getting into the wedding/ event planning business.
I actually looked into it..... here in PA.
From what I read and saw, you have to intern for a long time first...... I'm not a fan of not getting paid... lol.

Re: getting into the wedding/ event planning business.
I would love to do somethintg like this but I think I am tooo over organized.   Not sure how to start. you have to have a knack for things though. Design, planning, etc. I wonder if there is a degree for wedding planning.

Re: getting into the wedding/ event planning business.
I am an event planner (not weddings) it is a lot fun but extremely stressful at times. I actually have sent my resume to several of the Wedding Planners on here to see about an industry change. Wish me luck!

Re: getting into the wedding/ event planning business.
Thanks. I have other certifications -- I will have to look into the other courses. I find it more to be about experience and networking then classroom knowledge but that is my opinion.

I was an event planner too and I agree. My meeting planner certifications courses and other courses were useless. You learn everything as you go and you learn things at your events that you would never learn in a classroom. But, some companies require the certifications and it never hurts on a resume.

Not all of them do. It depends some time on just how "corporate" the company is whether they want you to actually be certified or not. Most of the more creative companies don't require it, internships and experience w/in the company itself or industry, and especially contacts, are more important.

A girl I work with is certified. It pretty much means you can buy at wholesale. She helps plan weddings and is a birchcraft retailer, she gets a great discount and passes the savings to her clients... of course she makes a little something too but the clients get a big discount from the retail prices.
