Education & Training

There are no formal requirements for becoming a wedding planner, and many people enter the industry without any specific training. But anyone interested in a career as a wedding planner must be very knowledgeable about the wedding industry and the businesses associated with it.

A number of wedding planner associations offer programs, courses, and seminars on the required skills of the industry. Many courses are available for home study. Some associations offer their own certification if you complete their specified program, but this is not required to pursue a career as a wedding planner. See the Other Resources section for a listing of associations.

In order to become a successful wedding planner, you must have a solid business background. College courses in areas such as computer applications, accounting, marketing, and business administration will help prepare you for the demands of running your own business.

The wedding industry encompasses many different types of businesses, so it helps to be familiar with them. Taking college courses in areas such as photography, fashion design, catering, floral design, event planning, or hospitality and tourism would certainly be beneficial. Focusing on one area of the industry—such as catering—may allow you to offer specialized services. If you do choose to offer such specialized services, it may be a good idea to enroll in a college program in that field.

Other Suggested Qualifications

Know weddings inside out! Do some research on the wedding industry, and familiarize yourself with its products, services, and related traditions. Offer to help a relative or friend plan his or her wedding. This will help you understand the requirements of planning a wedding and introduce you to the hectic pace that’s involved.

You should be friendly, energetic, outgoing, and have a positive attitude, even when situations become very stressful. Wedding planners also have to be calm under pressure and be able to solve problems quickly.

Other important qualities include being very orgnaized and paying close attention to detail. You should have a creative flair and a strong sense of fashion, style, and design. You should also have a good knowledge of different religious and cultural traditions.

Work experience in areas related to the wedding industry will give you a good background. For example, you could pursue job opportunities in banquet halls, fashion retail, or catering. It is also possible to gain experience by training with an established wedding planner. Most wedding planners, however, work on their own and may not be able to pay an assistant or dedicate time to training someone.

Accounting

Certified public accountants, or CPAs, make up one of the most well-known and respected groups of professional accountants. Some work for large public accounting firms. Others have their own small practices and advise neighborhood businesses. Still others work in the financial or accounting departments of large corporations. Many of the chief financial officers of Fortune 500 companies are CPAs.

CPAs are qualified to perform a broad range of accounting, auditing, tax, and consulting activities. Their clients may be corporations, governments, non-profit organizations, or individuals.

Typically, a CPA will concentrate on one aspect of accounting. Many concentrate on tax matters, such as preparing individual income tax returns and advising companies of the tax advantages and disadvantages of certain business decisions.

Other CPAs concentrate on consulting. Consultants may offer advice on matters such as compensation and employee health care benefits, the design of accounting and data processing systems, and controls to safeguard assets.

Some CPAs specialize in forensic accounting. Forensic accountants investigate and interpret bankruptcies and other complex financial transactions to determine if fraud has been committed. Still others work primarily in auditing. These accountants examine clients’ financial statements and report to investors and authorities that they have been prepared and reported correctly.

Other specialties include environmental accounting, information technology services, and financial management.
