Paid to Plan Weddings
Imagine
having an exciting high-paying job that lets you use your creativity
to organize the happiest day of people's lives. Welcome to the world
of wedding planning!

There
are few jobs that offer so many benefits. As a wedding planner (also
known as a bridal consultant, wedding consultant, or wedding coordinator)
you will have a job that is fun, interesting, and rewarding.
If you start your own wedding planner business you can enjoy the freedom
of being your own boss.
In
our busy society, an increasing number of couples need to hire a wedding planner
to plan their special day. According to the Association of Bridal Consultants,
the percentage of couples using wedding planners doubled in three years.
With more than 2.2 million weddings taking place
in the United States alone in 2008, there are more opportunities
to become a wedding planner than ever before. Whenever
a couple marries, someone is needed to oversee all the details to
ensure the wedding is a success. That "someone"
- the wedding planner
- could be you!
As
long as you have the desire, you can become a wedding planner. No
special education or experience is necessary to break into a career as
a wedding planner and succeed.
If
you would like to be paid to plan weddings, the FabJob
Guide to Become a Wedding Planner is for
you! In this book you will discover how you can get started and
succeed in an exciting career as a wedding planner.

"I
have just finished reading your wonderful Become a Wedding Planner book.
The information was exactly what I was looking for to start up my own wedding
planning business. I have helped family members and friends plan weddings
before and was wondering how I could turn this in to a paid career as a wedding planner. The
information on getting clients, dealing with vendors and how much to charge
for my services was really helpful, and the worksheets like the timeline
schedule and budget sheet will be very useful. I can't wait to get started!"

"AWESOME
wedding planner book! I bought it on the weekend and didn't think
I would get much for such a low cost but I was delighted. I will definitely
recommend your Wedding Planner guidebook to any of my friends who want
to get into wedding planning."

"I wanted to thank you
for your book about becoming a Wedding Planner, which I received on my computer in one minute.
The book has given me so much insight and information towards my new career as a wedding planner.
I am very happy and would
absolutely recomend your products to anyone looking for a new career."

"Thank you so much for this
excellent guide! I had made the decision to set up business as a Wedding Planner when
I came across your guide and decided that even if you could give me just a
few tips it would be worth the price. I had only "speed read" the first 50 pages (of over 200!)
when I knew I had made a purchase which would be worth it's weight in gold! Even though I live in
England and some of the advice is not applicable here there is more than enough which is applicable
for me to make more than my money back with my first assignment."

"I recently purchased the FabJob Guide to Become a Wedding Planner. Like many people, I was
skeptical of paying money for any sort of "how-to" guide, especially off the internet.
I assumed that by helping out with several weddings, I knew most of what I needed to get
started, and I'd learn the rest along the way. When I stumbled across the FabJob website,
I was intrigued, and browsed the table of contents for the Wedding Planner guide. I realized
there was a lot I needed to learn BEFORE getting started. After taking the time to look in
several bookstores I realized there was nothing remotely similar to what the FabJob guide covered.
The other books were all aimed at brides, and a professional planner has to know more than that
(otherwise why would a bride need a planner if a book would do?). I took the plunge, ordered
on-line, and did not regret it! Don't waste your time or money looking elsewhere. This guide covers things you didn't even know you needed to learn about, it will pay for itself in confidence alone!"

"I noticed your web site for How to Become a Wedding Planner some time ago, but dismissed it as yet another
wedding planner guide for brides. Well, this year after finally launching my own wedding planning
company, I decided to see what your wedding planner book entailed. What a wonderful surprise! The wedding planner guide is informative, detailed
and jam-packed with tips for the aspiring wedding planner! (I was so
impressed that I ordered two more unrelated guides for friends.) Specifically,
your wedding registration form helped me with the revision of a form I
had created for clients, I picked up some great marketing ideas too. I would encourage anyone considering the purchase of this wedding planner
guide to go ahead and order... right NOW!"
