I Want to Be a Wedding Planner: Online Wedding Planner Course Review

I kept looking and looking, but despite my best efforts, I couldn't find any substantial, in-depth information about online wedding planner courses online. So, I decided to jump in and start my own blog so others could benefit from my experience as I learn how to become a wedding planner online. Enjoy!

My first shipment of materials are here!

I'm really impressed ... I signed up for Penn Foster's bridal consultant class on Monday and only three short days later (today is Thursday), my first shipment of materials is here! Penn Foster is located in Scranton, PA and I'm in Northern Virginia, so it didn't have a long way to go, I suppose, but I'm still happy everything got here so fast.

So what's in the first shipment?

  • a Welcome letter from Chris Schweitzer, the Chief Instructor
    • "Dear Student ... yaddha yaddha yaddha ... "

  • Penn Foster's Student Handbook
    • which is also available online on the school website, but nice to have here

  • the Professional Bridal Consultant program outline
    • basically, a mini-syllabus for the class

  • My official student ID card
    • nothing too special here, just a paper card

  • 2 study units:
    • Learning Strategies
    • Doing It Right, The Proper Way to Act

  • .... and last, but not least, a Penn Foster Career School bumper sticker!!
    • I think that's pretty cool ... nice touch!

I'm usually the type to just jump into something without reading the directions, but I want to do this right, so I'm going to take my time and go through everything, piece by piece.

I'll report back to y'all soon!

Good luck with everything!  The bumper sticker really is a nice touch!  Unexpected, but definitely nice.  It's great to show some school pride! :-)

About weddingplanner2be

When I got married last year, I was involved in every single little detail ... and I loved every second of it. (In fact, I still buy bridal magazines!!) I have recently come to realize that I should pursue my passion ... which is to be a wedding planner! I know alot of hard work is involved, but at the heart of it, I know that I am ambitious and determined. Wish me luck!
