What were your highlights studying with The Wedding Academy? 

I love the detailed feedback received while working on the certification project. The supportive community and experts on the board also keep me updates with ongoing trends and educations!

What is your role now in weddings? 

Destination & Multicultural Wedding Planner

How did you find your course assisted you in your career? 

The self-pace study materials covering planning, styling, business, and marketing aspects helped set me up as a newbie in the industry.

Any advice for aspiring wedding planners or stylists? 

Learn from the best and keep investing in your education! The wedding industry is very unique and changing fast. We have trends, ideas, creativity, techs, and different people involved all the time. So general knowledge courses often don’t apply to us. By learning from wedding experts, you’ll have enough resources to set yourself up, connect with clients, and thrive in your career!
