How to become a Wedding/Party Planner?
I’m 14 years old and want to become a wedding/party planner . . . But I don’t know much about it. Can you get diplomas in party planning or do degrees and can you do them when you are 16. What is your advice on how to become one i know i have start my own company but what do i have to do. Thank you for any information you can give.
I have looked into event planning myself, because I want to get involved in running fundraiser events for charity. You can actually be a certified event planner with about 1 year of school.
Most programs have a set list of courses to teach you how to plan any type of event, like event planning basics (marketing, PR, logistics, running an event planning business, etc) and then you choose certain courses to specialize (Wedding planning or non-profit fundraising, Volunteer management). So you can specialize in Wedding planning if you choose.
The thing with the wedding industry is it is very experience-based, so if you need to get a certificate/professional training so that people will take you seriously and it will allow exposure to the industry. Some programs are 1 year full-time, but I’m doing a fundraising/non-profit development certificate part-time (one evening course a week per term) so it will take me a couple years. I’m doing it this way because I need to be working full-time to make money and save for my own upcoming wedding. lol.
Look into training/certificates at your local community college, you of course need to be finished high school to be accepted into the program (so 16 is kind of young). The program I am taking is a continuing education program, so you need either 3 years of direct experience, a college diploma or a university degree (I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in honours history and business). But most full-time programs do not require this, you just need ot be finished high school (in good standing to be accepted).
Good Luck!
