Imtazur Rahman on How to Become a Wedding Planner: Steps for Success
You may be reading this blog post because
you are interested in becoming a wedding planner. Or, maybe you have been
planning weddings for years and want to take your skills to the next level.
Whatever your reason for being here, I am happy that you found us!
– Wedding Planner: This is usually someone
who plans weddings, but it could be an actual vendor like the venue or florist,
etc.
– Wedding Consultant: As with any business
consultant, this person provides advice on how to go about planning your
wedding as well as helping plan other peoples’ weddings.
– Weddings: These are sometimes held at
venues that specialize in catering for them, such as hotels or halls that can
accommodate large numbers of guests and provide entertainment during the
reception, including live bands, DJs, etc.
How to become a wedding planner?
Imtazur Rahman: The first step is to
determine if wedding planning is the right career for you. What are your
interests and skills? Do weddings interest you, or do you have any unique
talents that would make an excellent addition to one’s business, such as event
design (invitations), cooking, floral arranging, etc.?
Some general tips by Imtazur Rahman
– Consider what type of weddings you are
looking to plan – Weddings, Corporate events, etc.
– Get the necessary qualifications for your
area and country, including event management courses or a degree in wedding
planning? The internet is a great place to find such systems online.
– Take some time off work as there will be
periods where you need to take on large projects, which can mean long hours
without regular breaks, so it’s best not to have any other commitments during
this time.
– Work with other suppliers who offer
wedding services, such as photographers, venues and florists, etc., by
assisting them at their events when possible so that they get an idea of how
hardworking you are and would want to work with you in the future.
– Get to know people working in this field
and make a connection by getting advice on how to progress, volunteering for an
organization that can offer opportunities, or even following wedding planners
on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook so that they keep up with your
achievements.
– Network as much as possible either through
face-to-face meetings or online networking websites such as LinkedIn etc.,
which will allow you to establish connections over time without feeling
uncomfortable about approaching someone on their own.
– Join organizations related to weddings
where other wedding professionals gather such events, seminars, and
conferences, all of which have one purpose: To share information and learn new
skills rather than just spending hours at home doing research alone!
How does it work?
– You need to have a good understanding of
what the job entails or at least get an idea from someone who has been in your
position. It will allow you to focus on relevant skills for this line of work,
and if not, it is permissible to take up subjects other than wedding planning,
such as marketing and communications, etc.
– Once you have a clear picture of the
profession, make sure there are enough hours left after completing all course
requirements before applying for jobs so that you can search for internships
first! It would be wise to use these opportunities wisely by trying out
different organizations that might offer new challenges within their
organization.
The most important thing when considering
whether one should become a wedding planner knows oneself. Be sure to ask
yourself what it is that you like, what are your skills and abilities. You can
then keep an eye out for the following steps to take!
– Know who your consumer is.
– Learn about wedding planning etiquette
among different cultures: Western vs Eastern culture; Catholic weddings vs.
Hindu or Muslim weddings etc.
– Network with people in this field by
making contacts at local events where many vendors gather, such as bridal expos
or exhibitions, industry conferences, seminars, etc.
Find work experience opportunities that will
help provide marketable job skills and hands-on experience working within the
profession – even if unpaid. For example, internships offer invaluable insight
into how things run from behind the scenes in certain places of work.
These steps can be quickly followed by
anyone interested in wedding planning or making weddings happen! Good luck!”
How many hours per week should I be working
towards my goal?
“To reach success, I would recommend you
spend at least 20 hours per week working on your goal for maximum speed.” –
Imtazur Rahman.
What should be my long-term and short-term
goals?
“Your goals may change depending on what
stage in life you are currently. If you’re a young graduate, the next step is
to build up experience by interning or volunteering with an established wedding
planner. It will demonstrate your abilities and prove that you’ve got what it
takes.
Once this has achieved, start setting some more ambitious but realistic targets such as raising funds through crowd funding, advertising you locally in magazines, etc., making sure there’s always something new happening to keep things fresh.”
