Description
Couples don’t hire a wedding planner for the pretty things. They hire judgement, organisation and calm. They want someone who knows what to ask, who to call, what things cost, and what to do when the rain arrives an hour before the ceremony.
The Wedding Planner’s Handbook teaches you to be that person. It’s built on The Wedding Academy’s Certificate in Wedding Planning, then taken further, with more detail, more examples, the wording to use with clients, and a full section on running and growing a planning business.
What’s inside
- The planner you’re becoming: what the job really involves, how planners think, and who your ideal client is
- Winning and guiding clients: how couples decide, the first consultation, proposals, pricing and budgets
- Designing the day: concept, theme, colour, flowers, decor and installations
- Suppliers and logistics: venues, site inspections, your supplier team, food, drink, music and timelines
- Every couple, every wedding: inclusive, cultural, sustainable, budget-conscious, intimate and virtual weddings
- The day itself: run sheets, your team, your emergency kit and contingency plans
- The business: setting up, marketing, reviews, referrals and growth
Every chapter includes
- The teaching, explained plainly
- Stories from the field
- Practical tips
- A one-page summary
- Worksheets that end with “apply it to your business”
