The Wedding Planners Guild UK
provides wedding planning
courses, workshops, regional
meetings and study trips. The
three-day course aspires to
ensure that its students are the
most successful in the
wedding-planning industry both
in the UK and abroad through
in-depth teaching throughout a
wide variety of topics including
health and safety regulations
and customer service.
The training programme is
ideal for both individuals wanting
to pursue a career in wedding
planning and businesses such as
hotels, florists and photographers
wanting to build on their existing
skills and enhance their already
established business.
Director at The Wedding Planners
Guild UK Yvonne Bennett said:
“A Wedding Planner is essential to ensure the ‘big day’ runs
smoothly and does so by sourcing anything that comes with
organizing a wedding, including
catering, photography, invitations
and locations. Training at The
Wedding Planners Guild UK is
designed for aspiring wedding
planners and already established
businesses in the industry, and is
located in Liverpool. The training
is classroom based, after which
students are required to complete
a portfolio within six weeks to be
forwarded to our Liverpool based
Head Office for assessment.

“The guild currently offers two qualifications to students. Firstly,
The Award in Professional Wedding Planning, which is an intensive
classroom course compromising mainly theory based learning,
which teaches students about marriage and wedding plans,
themed weddings and weddings from other cultures. Following the
course, the student will then be allowed six weeks to build and
complete a portfolio which will be sent back to us for evaluation.”
