Wedding Planner Jobs

Well, go to college and major in design and/or business. In the wedding industry, you need to have a creative eye and be talented with designs, colors, styles. But, you also need business sense. You need to know how to run a business efficiently and how to deal with people in other industries (such a vendors, reading contracts, legal rights, etc)

However, when I get to college, I’d speak with an adviser and ask them what are some possible internship options. Some schools require you use their internship opportunities. Other schools allow you to find your own internship opportunities. If you can find your own, start researching local wedding planners. Also, consider getting a part-time job in a bridal shop, at a reception venue or at a wedding florist. Just some place that’s involved with the industry. When it’s time for you internship, write those local planners and ask about interning.

I don’t think any typical 4-year colleges offer wedding planning/party planning as a major. Maybe a design, fashion or techinal school? But, I don’t think you need a degree in Wedding Planning. You just need related experience and good knowledge in business.
