Question by .the..rest..is..still..unwritten.: Do you need to have a degree in event planning in order to become a wedding planner?
My community college has a partnership with a wedding planning online certification school, and I was wondering if that was enough to be certified in to start planning weddings?

No, u can do the course corrospondence. If your interested, just help out friends etc with their weddings free of charge. Go and meet dif suppliers for flowers,photographers etc,cars, receptions and caterers etc so you can research what’s avail for dif budgets. I wanted to do that. but got side tracked. Good money in it if you can handle bridezilla’s and have passion for romance. All the best. also googling helps.

No you don’t need a “degree” – it just is (supposed) to sound/seem more impressive to potential clients if you tell them you’ve got a “degree” in wedding planning. But think about it, if you’ve got the connections, talent/flair for it and some experience – go for it – otherwise, you might consider taking classes to get some connections, tips, etc.
