Couples don't hire a wedding planner for the pretty things. They hire judgement, organisation and calm: someone who knows what to ask, who to call, what things cost and what to do when it rains an hour before the ceremony.
The Wedding Planner's Handbook teaches all of it. Built on The Wedding Academy's Certificate in Wedding Planning and taken further, it covers the whole job in 20 chapters: winning and guiding clients, budgets, design, venues and suppliers, timelines, inclusive and sustainable weddings, running the day, contingency plans, and the business itself.
Every chapter includes case studies drawn from the situations planners meet, practical tips, a one-page summary and a set of worksheets (139 in all) for your own clients and business.
Written by Jac Bowie, owner and CEO of The Wedding Academy, which has taught more than 11,000 students since 2004. For new planners, career changers and working planners who want a proper system.
