How do I get into the wedding planning business?
December 2, 2009
I would LOVE to be a part in planning weddings for a living. But I have no idea how I would get into a business like that Like, I guess I’m wondering how I would get to be an apprentice or intern to a wedding planner. I just dont know where to begin! If anyone has any suggestions or info please let me know! Thanks!

Well get the following;
a name
your own phone number for your company
business cards
an office
advertise
and if a friend or family member is getting married and the planner does an ahmazinn job, then yeah, intern there for about a year, then do what i said on the list.
