Career Prospects
Imagine having an exciting high-paying job that lets you use your creativity to organize the happiest day of people's lives. Welcome to the world of wedding planning!
There are few careers that offer so many benefits. As a wedding planner you will have a job that is fun, interesting, and rewarding. If you start your own wedding planner business you can enjoy the freedom of being your own boss.
The prospect of becoming a wedding planner has never been more bright. In the United States alone there have been 2.5 million weddings in the past year alone, 110.000 in Australia and 306.000 in the United Kingdom. In many cases a wedding planner also known as a bridal consultant, wedding consultant, or wedding coordinator was hired to manage and plan for the special day. Couples are increasingly 'time poor' and with demanding career commitments many couples lack the time to organize their own weddings. This trend is only set to continue!
In addition to the possibility of running you own Wedding Planner business graduates will typically also gain positions with the following organisations:
-Want a Cinderella career?
It's a glamorous job! Remember Jennifer Lopez in the movie 'The Wedding Planner'? How would you like to be the glamorous Wedding Planner who gets to have all the fun of organizing a wedding and being paid to do it all? Picture this:
A young couple, madly in love, signs you up as their Wedding Planner. You get to dress up and visit all the fancy hotels and wedding venues, and taste the gourmet food provided by wedding caterers. Plus you'll get to check in to the latest boutiques shopping for the bride and even having a blast at the bridal shower and hen parties!
Picture yourself calling the shots and signing contracts with clients and various wedding vendors, being 'in' with the best fashion boutiques in town and always knowing exactly what's hot and what's not!
And at the end of the day, when you finally put your feet up, it will be with the satisfaction of knowing that you have just played an important role in making two people's life's very happy.

I'm sending this email to let you know that Paul is very accommodating and responsive. He immediately responds if I have questions/ inquiries regarding my assessment and gives me detailed information on things I need to learn with regard to the course.
