Becoming A Wedding Coordinator or Wedding Planner.
A wedding coordinator or wedding planner is considered one of the toughest jobs in the wedding industry.
Firstly, a wedding planner is a wedding professional who will help plan the entire wedding or parts of the wedding. Therefore, a wedding planner can help find vendors and venues, create timelines and budgets, and manage logistics. A wedding coordinator helps a couple that has already planned everything but wants someone to care for and manage the inner workings of the wedding day for them.
The Wedding Blues
While going to cake tastings, selecting flower arrangements, and helping clients decide on the perfect font for their invitations is undoubtedly a lot of fun, there’s a reason that being a wedding planner is considered one of the toughest jobs in the industry.
That is why when the wedding planning and the wedding day come to an end, many couples experience post-wedding blues. Nevertheless, wedding blues are real and common. One solution is to become a wedding coordinator or wedding planner.
The Pros and Cons
If you’re considering becoming a wedding coordinator or wedding planner, there are a number of stressful and unpleasant aspects to the job that you need to keep in mind. Be prepared for years of working Friday, Saturday, Sundays, holidays, and weekday evenings after 6 pm taken up with answering clients’ questions.
Fundamentally, this career will test every relationship in your life. It doesn’t matter if it’s the worst day of your life, it’s the best day of someone else’s so you show up and do your job even if you are crumbling on the inside because that’s what you sign up for. If you’re prepared for this and go in with your eyes wide open, then go for it.
- 1. Write a business & marketing plan.
- 2. Conduct industry research.
- 3. Establish clear-cut wedding planning goals.
- 4. Consider formal wedding planner training.
- 5. Get Hands-on Experience.
