Wedding Design Institute Wedding Planner Certification Courses Coming to New Orleans August 15-20

Aug. 4, 2011 - PRLog -- NEW ORLEANS – Wedding Design Institute is bringing its wedding planner certification courses to the Doubletree New Orleans Airport on August 15-20. The courses are specially designed to help people gain important knowledge and experience to start their own business in the wedding planner industry.

“Our certification program is perfect to help wedding planners launch their dream business,” said Wedding Design Institute Founder Stacy Parker. “We cover all of the necessary information wedding planning consultants need for the perfect event.”

Courses at Wedding Design Institute were developed with practical knowledge and experience in mind. Each course provides hands-on opportunities to learn and apply the material to real life situations that enhance the marketability of the certification program.

“We developed strong curriculum for our course offerings that provide important value upon completion,” Parker said. “Our courses provide aspiring wedding planning business owners with real return on investment. The first client they book will basically pay for the cost of the course.”

Wedding Design Institute is offering two different courses in New Orleans.

The Design and Planning Certification Course is a week long program that takes students through every step of the wedding planning business--from starting and running their business to creating a wedding plan and executing flawless spectacular events. It helps planners learn to negotiate venues and vendors, create contracts and appropriately price and market their services.  Priced at only $1295, this comprehensive course is perfect for those starting their business as well as planners looking to gain certification to take their business to the next level.

For those interested in bypassing the planning process and focusing on the execution of a great wedding day, the one day Coordination Certificate Class priced at $495 is the perfect solution. It begins with a brief review of the information needed to jump start a business and then teaches students the steps to organizing the activities involved in and around the wedding day. This course is custom designed for those interested in a part-time wedding planning business to supplement their income or can provide a great refresher for the established planner as they obtain a professional certification.

Space is limited and filling up quick for the certification courses. There are daytime sessions, evening sessions or a Saturday coordination class. All of the courses will be held at the Doubletree New Orleans Airport located at 2150 Veterans Memorial Boulevard in Kenner.
