The added value of our professional training for wedding planners is undeniable.
At a time when this profession didn't even exist outside the United States, we have developed our expertise over the past 19 years to give you the best possible start in this industry.
Planning events and weddings is a passion for many, but turning this passion into a successful business requires more than just enthusiasm. We experienced this ourselves in 2004-2005, which prompted us to thoroughly analyze our profession.
Our professional training goes beyond theoretical knowledge. It includes years of experience in entrepreneurship, event planning, hospitality and advisory services. We have spent a lot of time laying a solid foundation for our participants.
We not only share knowledge about the profession; we also have practical experience. This means that we know what it takes to be successful as a wedding planner. Setting up a successful business is crucial, and we provide comprehensive guidance and support in this area. We look at your unique talents and help you develop a market approach that suits you.
Our personal guidance answers your questions. Whether you want to know how to get started, who your clients are, how to differentiate yourself from other wedding planners, or where to find your clients, we have the answers and solutions.
We understand that everyone learns at their own pace. That is why we offer a flexible learning environment that is adapted to your needs and pace.
This year we have taken an innovative path and will only provide tailor-made guidance to our participants from the autumn onwards. Our goal is to help you turn your passion into a successful business, with an approach that is fully tailored to your unique situation.
