Hello to all our followers - we are interested to know, how many of you are graduates of WPS and alumni. We would love to know, drop a little comment below if you are, we would love to catch up! 🤍

Are you preparing for your big day? Would you like your WEDDING planned and coordinated for free?

Extra help on your special day is not only useful but also reassuring. Imagine being able to switch off and fully enjoy the moment without the stress of planning and coordinating. And when the assistance is not just free but also comes from qualified professionals, it’s even better!

Our graduates have undergone comprehensive training or study before their placement. We'll be there on the other end of their phone during the planning process. Whether you're on a tight budget or a minor royal with unlimited resources, our graduate wedding planners have successfully assisted hundreds of couples and can do the same for you.

If you believe some additional support leading up to your wedding, as well as on the day, could make your experience even more memorable, simply send us a DM. We will share all the information you might need.

Embarking on a career in wedding planning can be incredibly rewarding, with top-tier event planners delivering six and even seven-figure weddings regularly. They count high-net-worth couples and celebrities among their clients, travel the globe, and create unforgettable events.

However, this level of success doesn't happen overnight. It takes years of dedication, hard work, and skill refinement. Finding your niche, becoming the best within it, developing strong relationships, and establishing a stellar reputation in the industry are essential parts of the journey.

Our top 3 tips to help you work towards this goal are:

1️⃣ Invest in your team
Ensure you have the right people on the ground so that you can focus on the more important tasks - this extends beyond just the day of the events. Make sure that throughout the quiet time of the year, you are delegating your admin so that you can take 'strategy days' and focus on how you are going to grow your business. Not sure if you are ready for a team? Why not have one of our placement students assist at your next event.

2️⃣ Invest in your systems
Ensure you are using the best software that will help you streamline your processes. Invest in a professional website, social media presence, and CRM systems.

3️⃣ Invest in yourself
You are your most valuable asset! Not only do you need to invest in courses and workshops (something we can help you with), but ensure you are investing in your wellbeing too to avoid burnout.

Is your business ready to level up?

DM us if you would like our support with additional training or a placement student at your next event.

Unveiling 2024's biggest wedding trends and the ones that have us most excited here at The Wedding Planner School: 💫 Candlelit Dinners for Drama and Intimacy 💫 Draping & Hanging Florals (we suggest not mixing these with candles! Consider using flameless candles instead.) 💫 Sumptuous Oversized Bows - a trend straight from the catwalk that seems to be here to stay, whether on brides, chairs, or tied around candelabras. 💫 Mix & Match Bridal Parties - because whose bridesmaids really all have the same colouring and body shape? 💫 Champagne Towers - these can be a wedding planner’s worst nightmare, but if that's what the happy couple wants, we are here to oblige! 💫 Cinematic Wedding Videos - aside from a wedding planner, this is one of the best investments the bride and groom can make. They can't be everywhere at once, and a spectacular video commemorates their special day. 💫 Content Creators - for couples that can't wait, these are becoming more and more popular. They provide access to photos and videos the day after the event and although they won’t replace traditional photographers, they are gaining popularity. 💫 Oversized and Elaborate Buttonholes for the groom and groomsmen. 💫 An Explosion of Colour in Florals What trends are your couples asking for? Are there any that terrify you as much as champagne towers terrify us?
