Finding the Right Wedding Venue

Finding the right venue is one of the most critical parts of planning a wedding.

If you can find a good venue, this can actually make several parts of the rest of the planning process much easier.

Finding a good venue is about more than finding a beautiful space.

The space needs to suit the couple’s needs for their wedding or wedding party, as well as being aesthetically pleasing. Of course, it helps if the venue you choose is stunning on its own. But in this module, you will learn all about the different components that make up the perfect wedding venue for your next event

Planning a Wedding Theme

Printed materials may consist of invitations, place settings, menus, thank you cards and anything else that is created to give to the guests attending the wedding.

A Day in the Life of a Wedding Planner

Every wedding is different and every couple is different. As a result, there is not a typical task that wedding planners do every single day.

A wedding planner is more than just an event coordinator. A wedding planner is a shrewd negotiator, a purveyor of taste, a shoulder to lean on, a multi-tasker and a problem solver.

Wedding planners are personal assistants for the happy couple. They are also accountants who specialise in wedding finances, as well as people with great creative visions. When a client comes to you as a wedding planner, they want to know that you can take their ideas and turn them into a reality. They also want you to manage their budget, make sure that everything goes right on the day, and help you finalise the details of the wedding once the big day is over
