You're wedding is done, and you realize that wasn't just the best day ever--it was the best EXPERIENCE ever! Or maybe you’ve got a knack for organization, a love for love, and the Pinterest boards to prove it—so naturally, you’re wondering: “Should I become a wedding planner?”
The short answer? If your heart skips a beat at the idea of turning chaos into beauty and helping couples create unforgettable memories, the answer is yes.
But here's the thing—loving weddings isn't the same as building a wedding business.
Where Most New Planners Get Stuck
Many aspiring planners start with a passion, a few styled shoots, and maybe a friend's wedding under their belt. But then reality sets in:
How do you actually get clients?
What services should you offer?
What should your contract say?
Do you need a website? A CRM? An LLC?
And then there's marketing (hello, Instagram overwhelm), pricing (hello, imposter syndrome), and the constant comparison to planners who seem to have it all figured out.
The Truth No One Tells You
The wedding industry can be incredibly rewarding—but also incredibly confusing when you're just starting out. It’s not just about picking pretty linens and calming down a nervous bride (though there’s a little of that too). It’s about building a real, sustainable business that supports your life—not consumes it.
So if you're at that "Where do I even start?" moment, you're not alone—and you're in the right place.
