WEDDING EVENT PLANNING
According to the Washington Post, over two million weddings take place every year with an estimated retail sales of over $30 billion. When you add meeting and special event planning to that number, you can see that these are multi-billion dollar industries. Does it sound like there may be a need for you to start your own business as a professional wedding planner/consultant or event planner? Completion of the three courses included in the wedding/event-planning program will help you prepare for employment in this area or to start your own business. It is suggested that you take the courses in sequence, but that is not a requirement. The instructor, Cassandra McMillion is a Certified Wedding Specialist through Weddings Beautiful and the National Bridal Association who has worked in the business since 1985. You will also hear success stories from guest speakers who have completed the program. The textbooks suggested for the courses are: Wedding Planning, by Elaine Parker, Affairs of the Heart, by Nancy Gluck, Starting Your own Wedding Business and Starting Your own Event Planning Business, both by Eileen Sandlin. All are available from Amazon.com
