What attracted you to become a wedding planner and what is your favorite part of the planning process?
Five years ago, I discovered my passion for wedding and event planning by attending beautiful weddings, planned a beautiful baby shower, and planned numerous unforgettable vacations. It wasn't until I successfully organized my own wedding, that I knew that the wedding industry was for me. The feeling of satisfaction that came from seeing everything come together seamlessly was exhilarating. From that moment on, I knew that I wanted to pursue a career in wedding and event planning. I enjoyed every aspect of the process, from coordinating with vendors to creating the perfect atmosphere for guests to enjoy. Planning parties and trips has become more than just a hobby for me - it has become my calling. The joy I feel when I see the smiles on my clients' faces is truly priceless, and I am grateful for the opportunity to bring people together through my work.
What advice would you offer someone considering to become a wedding planner?
My advice for someone considering to be a wedding planner is to do your research. Meet vendors around your area. Build your network. Do not undersell your time or value. Make sure to have a good contract in place. Continue learning about the wedding industry, it is always changing. Find what makes you unique and sets you aside from other planners around your area.
What are your favorite online resources and softwares for wedding planners?
My absolute favorite softwares are Timeline Genius, Rock Paper Coin, and Canva. My favorite resources are Heidi's Wedding Business Collective, IAP's wedding planning course, Jamie Wolfer's Union Mastermind and the Master Plan courses, and QC Event School's Wedding and Events, Destination Weddings, and Luxury Wedding courses.
