Leaving Your Job to Become a Wedding Planner

Want to become a wedding planner but you are not sure how you are going to transition from your job. Changing jobs has been known to be one of the most stressful and hardest decision people will make; especially when the decision to leave a paying job is yours. The good thing about a wedding planner career is that most events and appointments can be made at night time; you can begin a part time job or business as a wedding planner without quitting your date time job.

Take the time to learn what is required to be an event planning business. You can do some research on what others are doing and how they begin. There is a lot of information on the internet that can help you get plenty of knowledge on what other event planners are doing and offering their clients. There are blogs, forums, articles, wedding planners associations and websites that are offering plenty of information.

A good source of information can come from recently married people. They can give information on what did the wedding planner do for them and where the areas that the wedding planner could of improved. The help that this couple can give you will benefit you by making sure you do what the wedding planner did right and making sure in whatever areas the wedding planner was lacking you can improve it.

Do you think you have what it takes to be an event planner? Many can not imagine that there is more than just being glamorous. Are you creative, do you have organizational skills and I can mention many more but the fact is that beyond being your dream to be an event consultant you need to ask are you a people person? This is a business where you will give service to your client; and the client will always be right even if you think they are not because this is a business where you are going to fulfill other peoples dream.

Ask as many questions as possible before leaving your steady job; also ask yourself if this is really a passion of yours. Maybe you might be interested to start it as a hobby and work your way into a full time business. This way you can ease yourself into it and you will not disappoint anyone including yourself if it turns out that this field of work is not for you. Test the waters first by helping to plan your family and friends events to see if that might be a good career move for you.

After doing all of the above research and you have done some volunteering help some your families events and you are still interested then decide you next step; will you need additional training or do you feel that you are ready to embark on either a full or as a part time worker or set up your own business; it might be a good idea to start off by going work for someone else and learn as you go. Make sure that before you leave your job to chase a dream educate yourself about all that is required to make it as a wedding planner.
