I want to start my own wedding planning business but?

March 11th, 2008 | by admin |
Mind Your Own-You know who you r asked:


I want to start my own wedding planning business but I don’t have any experience working for a coordinator because nobody in my area has that type of business. (I’d be the first!) Any suggestions on how to get me going without an education or hand on training? I know alot through my own interests, friends that have gotten married, and all of the literature I’ve read on the industry of weddings.

      I have a few suggestions to get you started:

      1st: If you haven’t already, go to the library and check out as many books and magazines as you can on the industry.

      2nd: try to find a mentor- I know you said that there aren’t any in your area so I would start looking nationwide. Go online and check out some other wedding planners websites. Try to find one that seems to mesh with your personality and give them a call. Have a list of questions prepared before hand so as not to waste their time. Explain your situation and ask them if they would be willing to offer you some advice. Try finding 3 or 4 because the 1st one might turn you down, but for the most part people like to talk about themselves and give advice so you should be able to find someone.

      3rd: Do some research to see if there is a wedding planners networking site. A lot of industries have networking sites where people get together and share ideas and support- there may be one for your industry.

      4th: check out the small business administration website at they have tons of information on starting your own business.

      I hope this helps you!
      Good Luck!
