WHY SET-UP THE WEDDING PLANNING COLLEGE?
After being inundated with requests for instant advice & practical training, Lisa Hilliard (from Lisa Hilliard Wedding Planning) & myself, have joined forces to launch The Wedding Planning College
There will be few weddings as prestigious as Prince William & Kate Middleton, but with the number of weddings expected to increase, it won’t only be the rich & famous that will look to hire the services of a wedding planner. However, wedding planning is unregulated & there are no mandatory qualifications required to set-up a wedding planning business.
The Wedding Planning College offers Training Events, Mentoring & On-going business support
WHAT DOES THE WEDDING PLANNING COLLEGE OFFER?
The Wedding Planning College prides itself on offering real, honest & professional advice through training events, personal mentoring & long term business support. The graduates from the college will be encouraged to become part of an on-going network that aims to bring best practice to their businesses.
Watching films such as The Wedding Planner can sometimes paint an inaccurate picture of what’s really involved in planning the most important day in someone’s life. This kind of romantic media results in many people aspiring to wedding planning as their dream job.... which it can be ... but it’s also a lot of hard work, both emotionally & physically!
Lisa & I will personally mentor people to achieve their dream but our support will be based on practical learning & experience. We believe that as established and trading wedding planners we can offer real training & advice to enable people to become successful planners.
The Courses have been designed by REAL Wedding Planners
WHERE & WHEN WILL THE TRAINING TAKE PLACE?
Using the fabulous training facilities, on the 6th Floor of the new CASA Hotel, in Chesterfield, we aim to attract people from the Midlands & Yorkshire to our “Train to Plan” two day training events. Each event will take place over a weekend and includes a mixture of factual based learning, individual exercises, group activities & guest speakers, from the industry. Lisa & I will guide & mentor delegates through each session, offering honest advice, sharing real examples and working with individuals to inspire their own wedding planning business development.

WHAT TRAINING & BUSINESS SUPPORT IS AVAILABLE?
Training sessions will include “Setting up a wedding planning business” & “How to plan & coordinate a Wedding”. The first ones are due to be held on the 1st/2nd October & the 5th/ 6th November.
There are opening offers for the first 16 delegates. Please check the website for details:
Lisa said “There were no specific practical wedding planning courses when I started my business & I went in to it somewhat blind. General courses helped with the business side of things & an on-line course taught me an overview of the wedding planning industry, but no-one actually told me what I really needed to know”
All Train to Plan events offer REAL honest advice, guidance & support
