The Course
This course gives you the nuts-and-bolts of professional wedding planning, from the first client call to the last dance. You’ll map budgets and timelines, source and negotiate with vendors, craft cohesive design boards, and master day-of coordination. We’ll also dig into contracts, risk management, cultural and religious considerations, and the smart tech stack that keeps everything running smoothly.
Expect hands-on practice with real scenarios: mock inquiries, proposal writing, site-walk notes, crisis drills, and a capstone production schedule. By the end, you’ll have a polished portfolio, plug-and-play templates, and the confidence to launch or level up your business—booking clients, collaborating with venues, and delivering stress-free, memorable celebrations that actually turn a profit.
What you will learn
I started this course after years of planning weddings to help beginners avoid overwhelm and costly mistakes. It’s carefully crafted from real client work, distilled into bite-sized lessons, checklists, and templates you can put to use on day one. As a starter, you’ll move from foundations to booking your first client with clear modules on pricing, timelines, vendor outreach, design boards, contracts, and day-of coordination. Everything is organized in a logical sequence with quick wins, practice prompts, and plug-and-play docs so you build confidence without guesswork. By the end, you’ll have a repeatable system, polished tools, and the know-how to deliver stress-free, beautifully run weddings—without feeling lost along the way.
