Re: How to become a Wedding Planner??

its best to do a course geared toward event professionals. they'll teach you how to find and keep clients, how to market yourself, how to write and negotiate contracts, and how to manage and plan events. contrary to popular belief, an event planner does more than just pick the wedding colours and decor- thats the fun part but there is a lot of work that goes into it behind the scenes. i'm not sure if there are any specific event planner courses in pakistan- but i do know several colleges in toronto offer these courses.
