5 Top Tips to Consider Before Establishing a Wedding Planning Business

Has the last few months got you thinking about a new career? Are you an organized person who likes to help others realize their dreams? Have you binged every wedding show available and thought, ‘I could do this’? A career as a wedding planner is an excellent job if you love working with people and want to have the variety that different brides offer. Consider the tips below before jumping in and starting a wedding planning business.

How to get started? 


Firstly, as with any new business, you will need to come up with a business plan. This will act as a basic how-to guide in getting your business off the ground and getting your first clients.

Getting yourself a professional-looking website and social media presence is a must for any business, especially if you will be interacting with potential clients and contacts daily. You need to be visible and easy to find.

Business cards that have these details on will go a long way too! 

Have Practical Financial Objectives

With the business plan in mind, you will need to set financial goals, both for what you will spend on the business with marketing and what you will need to earn to make it a viable career. 

Wedding planning can be an exciting field. Here are some tips to help you create a successful business! Click To Tweet

Network and Build Relationships 

Nurturing and building relationships with various vendors and wedding professionals can help generate referrals for your newly established wedding planning business.

Don’t just think local, but aspire to broaden your networking borders and build credibility. 

Apprenticeship as an On-Site Wedding Coordinator


This can be a great way of learning the ropes while working under someone else’s wedding planning agency. It can help you gain on the job experience instead of starting your own wedding planning business without having any prior knowledge.

Working as an entry-level wedding planner can help you have a stable income source without having to shoulder all the financial risks linked to owning and running your own business.

It also grants you an opportunity to collaborate and network with different wedding vendors ranging from photographers to bands to wedding caterers, and start building the contacts you will need in the future.

Consider Investing in Education

If you are looking to start a wedding planner business venture, some professional bodies provide educational and accreditation programs related to the wedding planning niche.

These programs can assist you in becoming more knowledgeable in aspects that go into running your own business.

Build a Business That Resonates with Your Wedding Planning Approach


Before a client meets you, they will see your brand. You need to build your wedding planner brand to reflect a keen attention to detail and style. So, potential clients are more likely to choose you if you appear to be professional.

    Very interesting post, thanks for sharing! I definitely wouldn’t be able to be a wedding planner, it’s just not my thing. It’s good that there are those out there that enjoy doing it though!

      I think wedding planning would be fun to some extent but I’m not sure I could pull it off either
