George Washington University has a great event planning program. Also colleges with Marketing programs usually offier a course or two in event planning. At the Community College level, if they offer tourism, hotel, and catering, then most likely they will offer an event planning class. Fab.com offers books for about $25 on how to become an event or wedding planner. It is a great resouce to help you decided whether to fork over lots of money for a certification program. You can purchase the book or down load it.
I graduate next year and plan on becoming a wedding planner. Thompson Education Direct has a great program for wedding consulting. Check it out at www.learnbridalconsulting.com. It's a great program and right now they are running a sale on all courses. $300.00 off. Good luck to all of you who are looking to become a bridal consultant. I've just started classes and they're awesome!
For any of you who live in AZ, if you want to be a special events coordinator, there is a Bachelor of Science degree at ASU Main/West for Recreation & Tourism Management, they offer Recreation Major with a minor in special events, that is my major, & so far I love it! Even if you decide that particular area is not what you want, there are SOO many things you can do within the major, including Bridal consultation.

To become a Wedding Planner look online for classes. I just finished mine fromThomson Education Direct and by finishing I became a member of the Association of Bridal Consultants. There is also PCDI that offers at home training as well.
According to the articles I've been reading you really don't need special classes to become a wedding planner. You do have to be organized, have personable qualities, the ablitiy to talk to vendors and get your clients what they want, etc. I copied one of the articles on what it takes to get started in the business down on the thread titled Becoming A Wedding Planner Information.

There is a course beginning in August (around the 6th) in Pleasanton, CA (near San Francisco). This course is being taught by experienced consultants with over 15 years experience. It's not inexpensive but well worth the time to take it. Practical, good information and given by people who have walked the walk for years. You can email me for more information if you're interested.

I have wanted to be a wedding planner for years now. Hint- my e-mail address. I even had two weddings of my own marring the same guy twice. We had a very small wedding in my mother-in-laws backyard and we also had a larger church wedding.

Where do I go from here. I run a at home day care right now but I am doing this so I can be at home with my children. Once my youngest daughter enters school, I know that I will not want to run the day care any more. I want to be ready to re-enter to work forse once that happens. Is there any classes that I can start taking part-time to get ready?
Thank you,
Sandra
You dont need any schooling to be a wedding planner. I am searching for tips also - hoping to be a wedding planner in the next 3 months. You need flyers, business cards, a web site, and some photos of work that you have done. I would try to contact Modern Bride, The Knot, The wedding Channel...etc. To post my web site. Does that help any?
GWU offers an entire event manaagement certificate program. Association of Bridal Consultants offer a home self study program and some other associations do the same.

HI, my name is Anabel and I'm 17 and about to graduate High School. One of my dreams is to become a wedding planner. Every family wedding that I gone to I enjoy because it's so romantic and I love everything about a weddings. This year as class of 2006 Vice President class officer I planned our Homecoming dance and realised that this is what I like doing, planning things for a big day. I enjoyed it so much and in the end everyone was so happy and said that I "I have done a good Job". That made me proud of what I accomplished. I'm starting to apply at colleges and I want a career in Wedding Planners. My question is, how do you become a Wedding Planner? I want this to be my future, planning weddings is what I want to do. Please send me some information about the steps to becoming a Wedding Planner.
Thank You,
Anabel Ochoa
Hi, I'm 18 and i'm going to graduate in a few months. I want so much to be a wedding planner but i have no clue about what college cources i would have to take or even how i would go about getting into the business of a profeshional wedding planner. I know hat i do have most of the base skill for the job, and i've always loveed planning parties and anything else i could, i like making people's dreams come through, and seeing the expression od happyness on their faces anything i plan any type of events. Plus i have a talent for desighn so i really believe this would be the perfect career for me.
It's true, you don't have to go to school to be a wedding planner, but it's a good idea to be certified.
I took a Bridal Consultation Course with PCDI (Professional Career Development Institute). The books are sent to you, and you study at your convenience. Tests can be taken online or sent in. For more info go to pcdi.com
Good luck!
