To get started:

1) Decide who your market will be - presumably soon to be married couples in a certain area.

2) Decide what services you are going to provide and at what price.

3)Decide where you are going to advertise.

4) Get going!

You don't need any qualifications to run your own business - just good business sense and perseverance.

Web sites - look at guru.com, elance.com, rentacoder.com etc.

Answer 2

You don't need qualifications but experience is definitely a MUST. Event planning can be very stressful and very difficult especially if you don't know what you are doing. I am going to assume since you want to start a business of this type you have some experience. You can get a certificate from your local community college in Event or Wedding Planning and that will give you more credibility with your prospective clients. The course usually lasts a weekend and can be really helpful. However you don't need to do it.

One of my recent clients just started a planning business. We helped them with every aspect of their start-up from the company branding and website to consulting to put together their business plan. I would love to help you out and my company is priced well below what my competition charges. Our quality is fantastic and I have a lot of experience.

Wow, you're brave - I actually have a chum who did this and appealing everyone seems to be fairly puzzling... yet sturdy for you whether that's what you like! inspect different wedding ceremony planners first - do your learn - what they provide, what they cost, success cost, different planners on your area. How they circulate approximately their business enterprise (i.e. visits, etc). you will additionally ought to enhance a sort of providers - florists, invitation makers, hairdressers, dress shops etc and haggle to get the terrific deal. sturdy success with it, yet learn is the main serious subject you're able to do at first.

Answer 4

you dont "need" to have any qualifications, so to speak, but it would be nice to have examples of your related work, or certificates, or something.

Remember, people are coming to you for one of the most important days in their lives, they dont want if screwed up, and they will be fairly reluctant to accept a rookie wedding planner.

In the beginning, youll largely be selling yourself, as opposed to later, when your work will sell you. So, making yourself seem as experienced and knowledgeable as possible may help you along.

I suppose things as simple as having a florist certificate would help out.
