Wedding Planning Tips

I feel that Event planning is probably the job that works for me, so I’m trying to find colleges that will help me. But it’s difficult researching because it’s hospitality and tourism in general, it’s not specific courses. I’m interested in wedding/party planning, I don’t want to really plan business meetings or someones vacation.
I live in Washington state, and out of state schools are going to be way too expensive. I need in state. Could Western or Central washington in Ellensburg be okay? Those were the colleges I wanted to go to the most before, I don’t really want to go to Washington state University. If it’s the only option that I guess I’ll go.
Any advice/tips on this? thanks!

I am currently in the process of starting up my own events company and have got to the point where I need to think of my business name. I have recently completed a course in event and wedding management but am stuck on a name choice!
I personally don’t like the cliche names such as Special Occasions, Planned to Perfection etc so would like an original name with a ring to it.
I currently have ideas such as:
Coco Blush Events
Coco Belle Events
Coco Rose Events
Please offer any opinions and constructive criticism regarding these name ideas – are you likely to use this business if you saw this name advertised?
I will be offering event planning and design for events such as weddings, birthdays, christenings, showers, bar/bat mitzvahs etc and would like to offer a bespoke, boutique style service.
Many thanks for your help!

I really want to be a wedding planner but i do NOT want to have my own business i just couldn’t do it. What should i take in college that will give me experience in that field?? I am going to Solano Community College and they do not have event planning. So don’t know what i should take for it

I hired a dj for my wedding for like$400 was my budget and i met with him in person and everything showing me all the songs he had and i gave him a list…..and he played NONE of them..only stupid rock and oldies songs! Didn’t even announce the bride and groom : / kind of embarrassing

I would like some opinions on the best way to become an event planner. I can’t seem to find programs to enroll in specifically for event planning. I dont want an online school. I currently am enrolled at a community college, Ive already taken business classes but id like to really be specialized in event planning. So how should I go about this? Are there any trade schools in the U.S for event and or wedding planning? or should I just study business? Any ideas?!?!?!

I have a school project. It’s my Senior Career power point presentation. In my power point I must include an “interview” with a person who has the same career as the one I’ve chosen. I’m seriously considering being an event planner. Though I have many interest, for this assignment it’s the career I’ve chosen out of the few I’m interested in pursuing. SO if you could answer 5 of my questions that would be lovely. Possibly leave a name and email because my teacher needs some kind of Proof. You can email me if you want @ Jamiec1993@yahoo.com. I will post this question a million in one times if I have to, my grade is very important to me. I need answers! Anyway here are my questions.
Question 1: What made you decide to pursue a career in event (wedding) planning?
Question 2: How do you currently feel about your career? Do you still love it?
Question 3: Do you believe you need some kind of talent/skill to be a successful event (wedding) planner? If so, what?
Question 4: Did you have a degree that you feel has helped you become more successful in event (wedding) planning? What educational/training do you feel is required to be successful at this career?
Question 5: What is your favorite thing (or least favorite thing) about being an Event (wedding) planner?
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Does anyone have a contract for an event. I have googled things but am unable to find something that I think would work. I dont need one specifically for a wedding. Just an event in general.
Also how much should I be charging? I know that some professionals charge 10-20%. However if I were to charge a flat fee how would I determine that.
Thanks for your help!!
Any other info would be greatly appreciated

i am currently trying to decide between qc career school and us career institute to become a wedding and event planner and i was wondering if anyone had any insight on which is better? or if anyone has any ideas on an alternate online school that might have a better program than those two?
