I would definately suggest going to at least a 2 year college for a business degree, especially if you want to be your own boss. I'm not sure there are classes for wedding planning, however it probably wouldn't hurt to have a hospitality degree, another 2 year degree.

I'm not aware of specific classes for this, but just read everything you can about event planning, party planning, cooking, bands, managing staff, etc. There may be books about this...
