| I've studied Interior Design and am now working in my brothers business who designs cakes and I am in the wedding side of the business. I started just to help him out and I've been there for nearly two years. I really didn't think I would love it this much. I've always been girly when it comes to weddings and I really want to get into the industry full on. Can anyone please give me some advise on how you or anybody you know who is a wedding coordinator etc please let me know how to get started? |

| A good way to break in to this is to get hired on to a hotel, resort, country club, as an event coordinator in the catering department. |

| The cool thing about a job like that is that you can do it however you want to do it - there's no need to go and do an internship or anything; you just go with your own ideas.Read bridal magazines and visit trade shows to get ideas and to learn about the industry. Then just launch your own business. Start by networking to get yourself some clients! Talk to everyone you meet, use online communities to advertise your services, get friends to tell their friends, and so on. Once you've done a few weddings succesfully, those people will refer you to their friends, etc.The good thing about starting up a business such as this is that you need not invest very much money to start with. You can work from home, and you will probably only need to get some business cards printed and maybe a seperate phone line installed, and that's it.The other good thing about it is that initially, you probably won't be able to generate enough business to support yourself, but you can easily work part-time at another job as the hours here can be as flexible as you want.When you start getting busy, make sure you see an accountant to help with that side of the business. |
