2011 is fast becoming the year of the celebrity wedding. In addition to the much publicised Royal Wedding at the end of this month, music stars Lily Allen and Noel Gallagher and supermodel Kate Moss have also announced wedding dates this year.
Even Mr Playboy himself, Hugh Hefner, has a 2011 date in the diary.
With weddings continuing to be big business despite the recession, there has never been a better time to become a wedding planner.
ICS, Britain’s oldest and one of the world’s biggest correspondence course providers,offers an easy-to-follow, flexible wedding planner course for those seeking to pursue a rewarding, new career in a thriving industry. Or those who simply want help in planning their own special occasion.
All too often, prospective brides and grooms are caught out by the incredible amount of creativity and organisation required to make their wedding day run smoothly. This is why wedding planning is not only a growth business but also one that offers great satisfaction.
What types of marriage services are available? What makes a good wedding band? How difficult is it to organise a wedding in a castle? Imagine being responsible for what is often the biggest day in someone’s life. A wedding planner creates memories that live on for years to come, giving everyone who was there the chance to remember how special it was, for all the best reasons. It’s what makes a wedding planner career fun, sometimes nerve-wracking, interesting, yet always rewarding.
The ICS ICS wedding planner diploma is one of the qualifications recognised by the UK Alliance of Wedding Planners or UKAWP, a trade organisation for the industry.
The course itself provides all the information and skills needed to begin a new career.
Every component is covered from thinking creatively, planning the day, and breaking it down into manageable elements, such as venue, decor, catering, photographers, entertainment and the guest list. Business advice is also offered – including how to set up an office, securing advertising, finding clients and maintaining client relationships – giving students a valuable grounding in the business essentials.
ICS prides itself on being an expert in home learning and all its courses are designed to fit easily with students’ lives. All study materials are specially designed for distance learning and students have access to tutors both online and over the phone, as well as the ICS online student community which allows students to chat to their peers – perfect for those looking to discuss their own or someone else’s big day.
