My experience with the wedding planner training has been nothing short of great. From the very beginning I felt completely supported and understood by Daniëlle. This course offers a unique and personal approach, where you can always be yourself and choose your own path.

You're never forced into a corner that doesn't suit you, which is a relief. You become empowered!


The structure of the course is designed in such a way that you undergo a complete development process, both on a business and personal level. The curriculum has been carefully crafted to not only provide the theoretical knowledge required for a successful career as a wedding planner, but also to help you grow personally and increase your self-confidence.


What really sets this course apart is Daniëlle's constant, quick availability and support. She is always ready to help you with questions, advice or just a listening ear.


This personal approach ensures that you never feel alone in your learning process and that you always have someone to fall back on.

Upon completion of the training, I felt fully prepared to enter the professional field.

The practical experience and extensive knowledge I have gained have given me the confidence to successfully start my career as a wedding planner.


This training has not only given me the skills I need, but also the conviction that I can really make a difference in the wedding industry.

Years ago I saw this training and I knew; As soon as there comes a time when I want to do this, I want to do this training first. At the end of December 2020, I finally started the home study, to 'get some inspiration' for my childhood dream; guiding couples to their dream wedding. Halfway through the home study and after a good telephone conversation with Daniëlle, we decided to really pursue that dream and start the Wedding Planner vocational training in September 2021 and ultimately convert it back to the tailor-made professional program.


Fast forward, many on-site sessions, master classes, online meetings and a Wedding Planners Congress, later ultimately taking a completely different path than expected, everything Danielle said on the first day was correct; that this was going to be a road with ups and downs, you would grow as a person and that as soon as you knew 'it' you would notice it.

Actually, Danielle has always been right in that regard, because I have been searching for a long time and also had the feeling that I could not (completely) express my creativity. However, since I knew which direction I wanted to go, this creativity has also been running at full speed and because Danielle offered a tailor-made final assignment, I was also able to shape this creativity.


I have developed myself in all possible aspects and I am very grateful to Danielle for this. Without this process of this education, I would not be where I am today.

So if you want to become a wedding planner, sign up for a training course at Weddingplanners International!

Danielle and Fleur really know what they are talking about.


The training is not only filled with information that is really useful to you, they also reinforce it by sharing their experiences and expertise.


You can also contact them outside the training, where they not only organize fun/educational trips, but also meetings and master classes so that you can continue to develop!

"A wedding planning course at a professional level. Guidance is really good!


Daniëlle and Fleur are a super fun but above all super good team and offer support and coaching where necessary.


I found the standard home studies not so extensive and more suitable for "organizing a wedding sometime".


This training covers all the ins and outs and gives you all the tools you need to get started as a professional wedding planner.

Nina Worst


"In 2008 I completed the training as a wedding planner at Weddingplanners International.

At that time, this profession was relatively unknown in the Netherlands and The Wedding Planners Institute was one of the few training companies, or perhaps the only one, that offered complete wedding planner training in the Netherlands and Belgium.


To this day, I am grateful that I took this course and successfully completed it.

This has allowed me to turn my dream into a successful company that has now been in existence for 16 years.

I followed the tailor-made wedding planner course and this was the best choice to realize my dream with self-confidence and a dose of knowledge. The training taught me all the ins & outs of the profession based on the 2 books of wedding plans and entrepreneurship & Daniëlle supported me in creating my own vision and authenticity through personal guidance and pleasant brainstorming sessions.


What is extra nice is that the order and pace are tailored to my ideas and time schedule.

Flexible, educational and fun vocational training with a lot of involvement from Danielle. Thank you Daniëlle for helping me put the puzzle pieces of my path to becoming a professional wedding planner in the right order!

Definitely recommended!

In September 2021, I started the professional training to become a Wedding Planner at The Wedding Planners Institute. I felt completely at home from day one. The personal and motivating approach that Daniëlle offers plus the creative challenges in the form of concepts have provided me with the tools to develop myself incredibly from day one. I enjoyed these creative challenges and in the meantime I discovered my strengths. In January I took the step to convert the Professional training to the Custom training. By taking this step I was able to develop myself even further. Together with Daniëlle, I looked at who I am and what I want to stand for as a person and as a company. I was given assignments tailored to my vision and working method. In addition, Daniëlle was always there for me. The many online meetings and flexibility offered are very nice and made it possible to take this course in addition to my work. Lady boss Daniëlle has a lot of knowledge and loves to share this with her students and fellow entrepreneurs. Her passion for the profession and entrepreneurship is conveyed in a warm way and is very inspiring. I would 100% recommend this course to all adventurers who want a future in the wedding industry. I'm sure you won't regret it!

I thoroughly enjoyed following the professional training to become a wedding planner at Weddingplanners International in 2011. This is where my entrepreneurial journey began 12 years ago and after all these years there is still a line. That's what makes it so special. ✨Weddingplanners International as an institute is so much more than the name suggests. It is a professional company with a personal touch. Danielle is an entrepreneur par excellence. And also a fantastic woman who put the Wedding Planners Industry in the Netherlands on the map. I learned a lot from her and am extremely grateful that my entrepreneurial journey started here. For me it was a springboard to something else and that is separate from the profession or the company, because this will always have a place in my heart. 💘When I think of Wedding Planners International, the words: Joy, Connection & Quality are the first that come to mind. To anyone who is considering working as a Wedding Planner, I can highly recommend this professional training course!

What a journey this has been. Starting the training to become a Wedding Planner and having no idea what would come my way. I could already organize things, but what does a wedding entail? That's what I wanted to learn during the training. Danielle and I had to get used to each other. Or let's just say, I had to get used to Danielle. Why? She can throw you into the deep end and just let you figure it out. Quite intense at first, but during the training I started to understand her better and better. It's not bad at all to swim every now and then, Danielle won't let you drown. She is always willing to help you with the questions you have and provides you with feedback.


I really enjoyed developing concepts, creating detailed scripts and using my creativity. Contact with my 'fellow Wedding Planners-to-be' has often made me think. During the live days they give you food for thought about points that you have not yet considered. For me this has been a very important part of my training and I am very happy that we still have good contact with each other.


The training has made me think about what I want to bring to the 'wedding industry' and has therefore brought me closer to myself.


Thank you for this beautiful journey.


love,

In addition, Weddingplanners International guides you in setting up your own business through assignments such as writing your own business plan and master classes given by professionals.


An absolute must for anyone who wants to become a professional wedding planner!

The home training suited me well, great support and enough space to spend your own time. You can use the assignments and materials as you wish. It is a great springboard to become an entrepreneur as a wedding planner or something like that


Home study (2022-2023)

We have been working with WeddingPlanners International for some time. Within our collaboration, transferring knowledge of social media to students is the main focus. It is good to notice that Danielle focuses strongly on what you really need as a wedding planner within the curriculum and it is nice to know that you always get that, plus a little bit more. Top organization!Hashtag Junkies

Because I initially found it very difficult to actually do the home study alone, Danielle gave me an option to do part of the training with her guidance. This gave me more certainty before handing in an assignment. This has helped me enormously, also in my own development! Danielle is an optimistic person, mainly sees your positive sides and knows how to emphasize this.

Positive: QualityProfessionalism, Value

For years I had been looking for where I could express my creativity, which is not really expressed in my work. Two years ago, Weddingplanners International came into my picture and I contacted them. I have not regretted it for a second, it was nothing but fun from the start! Creating concepts, being creative, fully arranging an internship wedding, working on a styled shoot. Not a moment felt like studying and I finally found something that I really just love! I went into it with an open mind and have personally developed a lot, got to know very nice and sweet people and of course got to know Danielle. She holds a mirror up to you when necessary, has a high level of empathy and I am grateful that I got to know her and learned a lot from her.

reviews professional wedding planner training

The training to become a wedding planner involves so much more than just arranging an unforgettable day for the bridal couple. It is also about entrepreneurship and everything else that comes with it and they know how to deal with that very well at Weddingplanners International. The guidance is really great, clear and direct. They teach you to think and look differently so that you also grow enormously personally and after your training you have a good foundation to build on in all respects. To this day, I have no regrets that I took the training! Since October 2019 started a year of coaching with Danielle and it is so nice that someone watches you and who you can brainstorm with so that you can help your company further. She is very honest and clear. Sets goals with you and ensures that they are manageable and achievable. I got a lot out of it. So much so that I extended the one-year program for another year!

After a good telephone conversation with Daniëlle van der Lee, I decided to start the Wedding Planner training in 2020. I am still very happy with that decision. Especially now that I have completed my training (except for the internship wedding) in November 2021! Thanks to Daniëlle's wonderful guidance, I have learned so much about the profession of a wedding planner. And, just as importantly, Daniëlle gave me the confidence and some beautiful life lessons that you need as a Wedding Planner. Wedding Planners International: highly recommended!

My training adventure started in January 2019 and I was proud to complete it in January 2023.


I started the training with a lot of energy and enthusiasm. What I quickly noticed is that a lot was expected of you in terms of independence.

This training is really entirely your responsibility and you are expected to be the driving force behind what you need from this training.

Experience and listen carefully to yourself what you need. There are many possibilities with this training. You can follow the training at home, in a group or individually.

I started in a group and then I invested in doing it individually and it was well worth the investment.

The team is there for you as a trainer, coach, but also as a person and I think the latter is the most important.

My life, like many of you, has been quite turbulent in recent years due to Corona. Despite these difficult times, Daan and her team have always been very flexible and a listening ear.

In addition to these crazy times, as I call it, I have unfortunately also experienced a lot privately during the time of setting up my company. Daan and her team also helped me think about how to approach certain matters.

After learning enough tools, but especially the network you come into contact with during your training, I completed my first season as a wedding planner last year (2022).


Thank you Daan and team for a special journey!

Don't just rely on our words

Positive: Communication, Quality, Professionalism, ValueAlmost 2 years ago I FINALLY started my long-delayed dream. Wedding planner training! I had set my sights on The Wedding Planners Institute in Bunnik! I had high expectations because the costs were quite high. I really didn't know what exactly to expect, but I was always looking forward to making the entire trip to Bunnik! It was small-scale in a cozy setting with personal attention. Every lesson was a very nice lesson from Danielle! Because she doesn't just teach... Each time you were made to think and at home you could open the book and work on your concepts. This course is not a course where you are given everything as is the case with many courses. But here you are made to think about discovering or creating your own USP (Unique Selling Point)! And Danielle certainly succeeded!

Started the wedding planner training at Weddingplanners International in 2020. Due to corona and my extensive experience in the events industry, I was looking for a new challenge that should be an extension of what I was already doing and opened the door to starting my own company. During the training I learned a lot about the wedding planner profession. In the first phase I mainly received feedback from Fleur and during the writing of the business plan I had regular contact with Danielle. I have always experienced the (personal) contact with both as very pleasant, they look at your unique situation, background, learning goals, vision of the future and adapt their advice accordingly. In addition, they are also very pleasant ladies who you can always contact for questions, tips and inspiration in addition to study assignments! :-)

I was trained at Wedding Planners International in Bunnik. There I learned everything I need to know to give every bride the most beautiful day of her life. I met all kinds of wonderful people during this course. Together we have the same mission and are therefore not competitors of each other. Every wedding planner is unique. We can only learn from each other and join forces. Thank you for the wonderful years Danielle and Fleur!
