Thank you for your interest in our Wedding Certification classes. These classes are intended for those wishing to be wedding planners -- or those wishing to learn more about planning their own weddings! We are blessed to be able to hold some of our classes at the beautiful Robinson Ranch in Santa Clarita, California. The wedding industry is a HUGE business and this is one of the hottest careers available right now. You can expect to make anywhere from around $1,500 to $4,000 and up for a typical wedding in Southern California. Brides will want to know, however, if you are a CERTIFIED wedding planner -- if you've had classes or training in the field and if you are qualified to coordinate their wedding. This class will give you a Certification from The Wedding Resource Center, complete with manuals and class materials. Due to an overwhelming response to hold a one-day class, we began holding one-day classes; however, it was a lot of information to cover in one or even two days. Therefore, our 2-day class has been extended to 3 days and our 8-week class has been extended to 10 weeks, so that we may cover all of the information and still have special guests and hands-on learning in the classes. The class will cover the following topics in all aspects of wedding and event planning, with the emphasis on weddings: - How to plan weddings and other events - How to choose the best vendors / recommendations and referrals - Location, rentals, invitations, gowns, wedding styles, florals and decor - Wedding supplies and services, cakes, pastries, favors, transportation - Photography, videography, officiants, linens, wedding party attire, attendants roles - Pre and post-wedding parties, destination weddings, other events - Etiquette, table setting, music and entertainment, catering , bars and menus - Budgeting and contact management - Wedding ceremony and reception timelines, rehearsals - Trends, themes, colors, wedding styling, fabrics - Customs, traditions, facts, stats, wedding history, cultural events - The consultant's role and how to carry it out, meetings with brides - Working with professionals, families, emergencies, emergency kits - Small details and tricks of the trade - Business concepts, marketing your business, where to find clients - Advertising, networking, press releases, business plans, schedule of fees - Contracts and agreements, how to negotiate your services, client interaction - Seating arrangements and charts, floor plans, diagrams, layouts - Much more! This is a fun, hands-on class; you will also have a project that will need to be completed after you've taken the class. The class is $1,500 for the 3-day class ($1,800 for the 10-week class), which now also covers your material fee, certification and a binder / workbook. Additional books, manuals, wedding music CD, workbooks and more are available an an additional cost, if you choose those. Keep in mind that you are able to deduct these items on your taxes, as you intend to start a business and/or obtain training for a career in wedding planning. Contact your tax professional for more information or contact us (we have a great tax service that we use). Your instructor has had 24 years of hands-on experience in planning all types of weddings and events. For more information, please see the "About Us" page.
