The Wedding is one of the most glamorous and momentous moment in a man and woman’s life. the one amazing day when 2 people become one. The influence of a wedding can last for an entire person’s life. Its influence will affect generations that will follow that couple, but exactly who is the most important person in a wedding? If you skip the obvious people such as the couple, the families, the friends, the caterers, the drivers and so on, we’ll eventually get to the Wedding Planner.
The Wedding Planner easily has the most important job in a wedding, they make sure that the most important day in a person’s life becomes as smooth and stress free as possible. Think of the wedding and couple as a gigantic robotic machine operated by dozens of workers which are the various contract services for the wedding. While the Wedding Planner isn’t the captain of the machine, the Wedding Planner happens to be the 2nd in command for the machine that is either psychic or has an impressive radio communication system. The Wedding Planner’s job is to make sure the machine functions properly without making the captain worry.
But beyond being a psychic lieutenant for a gigantic machine, a Wedding Planner is also the person that makes sure nothing wrong happens in that wedding. Of course as their name denotes, they Plan the wedding. So when becoming a Wedding Planner, you have to have at least a very well versed Problem solving skill set, be an amateur accountant, be great at time management and of course be calm and patient. When starting out as any Wedding Planner you have to have at least experience, experience will usually come from helping out a friend or a relative for their wedding. It is during these testing grounds when you will truly be exposed to the rigors of being a Wedding Planner. Besides the rougher or less formal approach of working for a friend, you can also become a Wedding Planner by working for an already established Wedding Planner or by working for an Event Planning firm. Of course if you are an inexperienced planner you will definitely start out as an assistant while you observe and learn the ropes from watching your master.
Remarkably for those willing to become career Wedding Planners, one can take up a college course in Event Planning, where they can take a much more systematic approach.
