How to become a Wedding Planner

We don’t think we’re being biased when we say being a wedding planner is the best career! So if you’ve found yourself asking the question, “How do I become a wedding planner?” we totally understand, and more than that, we can help!

You see, it helps that we have been in that exact position before, asking the world…

how do I become a professional wedding planner?!

We found the answers, worked hard and now live our dream creating and planning amazing weddings across the UK for couples all around the world. Our experience as professional wedding planners, we like to think, more than qualifies us to answer your question of how do you become a wedding planner like us?!

First things first. Experience is key. For both of us, we made sure we got a broad range of experiences in the wedding industry before taking the plunge. As a result, we have both worked with caterers, photographers and wedding venues of varying descriptions before arriving at our calling: independent wedding planning.

For almost a decade, and over a decade for one of us, we have worked in this industry with many hats on. But our favourite by far is the one we wear now, directors and head wedding planners of The Wedding Planners! It’s our years of experience that led us to want to help others join this awesome industry - all those brilliant folk that like you are asking “how do I do THAT, how do I become a wedding planner”. So we launched our TWP Academy to give all those people some support for free. Offering advice and work experience though a free Facebook group. So there’s number 2 on your list: come and join the TWP Academy, it will help you grow in knowledge and experience.

After a few years of working hard with members of the Academy, we decided we wanted to go one step further so we curated a 10 month training course called Wedding Planning Perfection. The course was originally going to be a short term training programme, but we soon realised we just had too much to share! SO, we developed it into the 10 month, 10 module course that it is today, that teaches you not only how to plan weddings professionally but also how to set up your own business.

You get us on tap during that time, live training, downloadable workbooks, a private Facebook group to share with the other students in your class and with us. Plus we often throw in some awesome bonuses, completely free, on the side! There is a catch though, we only run this course once a year, just so we can give every student our focus and one-to-one experiences.

The good news is, if you’re reading this blog live, then you can join right now! Applications for WPP 2021/22 are open from Monday 26th July to Monday 2nd August 2021. To read all about it and join the course simply click here. That’s definitely one excellent way to become a wedding planner! But if you’re not reading this live, then you can use that same link to join the waiting list for when the course next opens.

So there you have it, several great ways to become a professional wedding planner. We hope to see you in the TWP Academy, or indeed on one of our courses very soon!

Happy Planning
