Many people think that not much is required to join the ranks of wedding professionals, perhaps some experience planning parties, a few event-planning contacts such as caterers, florists, etc., and penchant for hosting celebrations. But there is much more to creating a lifelong memory for the bride and groom - it requires the skill of a consummate wedding professional. A wedding consultant, says Linnyette Richardson-Hall of Baltimore, MD-based Premiere Events, has the primary function of helping a couple to discover, implement, and manage all of the necessary tasks required to host a successful wedding event. In laymen's terms, the role of the wedding consultant is that of facilitator, mediator, money manager, artisan and constructor of dreams. Mayai Chatman-Whitfield, author of “I Do…Weddings”, a manual for both beginning and seasoned wedding consultants and founder of Wedding Day, Inc. in New York, provides a wealth of useful details on how to start your own wedding consultant business. She describes each step precisely, from developing a business plan, to promoting your business, to coordinating each aspect of the ceremony the day of the wedding. This handbook is not to be overlooked for those serious about becoming a professional wedding consultant. “I Do…Weddings” is also a guide for brides- and grooms-to-be to use in planning their own ceremonies. Ms. Richardson Hall
and Ms. Chatman-Whitfield are both members of the Association of
Bridal Consultants. Purchase “I Do”… Weddings - Guide to Starting Your Own Wedding Consulting Business by Mayai Chatman-Whitfield |
