If you loved planning a wedding, do it for other people. Event concepts, logistics, budgets and the wedding day itself. Then pricing, suppliers and clients, on the business side.
Two modules go past the day itself, into planning and operating a wedding business of your own.
Budgets, risk, suppliers and logistics. The part that decides whether an event runs or unravels.
No supplier list, no venue contacts, no brand. The pathway assumes you are building all three.
Event work sits in venues, agencies and on your own ABN. Most planners start by coordinating someone else's events before selling their own.
Timelines, suppliers and the day itself, on the ground.
Logistics and crew across a venue's calendar.
Site visits, quotes and turning enquiries into bookings.
Staging, suppliers and the run sheet on the day.
Filling seats and selling tickets before the doors open.
Corporate clients and the functions they book each year.
Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every role is different, and some need more study or experience. The training here is not nationally recognised. Running a planning business carries its own cost and risk.
Events first, weddings next, then the business.
Events and weddings are close but not the same trade. This teaches both, then hands you the pricing and client work that sits under them.
Corporate events and weddings each get a full certificate, not one module apiece.
Financial management and risk sit inside the event certificate, before the staging.
The Institute of Hospitality reviewed this programme and put its name to it.

You finish with a Certificate of Achievement, endorsed by the Institute of Hospitality. The college is accredited by ICOES and the CPD Standards Office.

Picture a bride hugging you at the end of a day you built.
