Wedding Planners Course

Turnham2b, 19 September, 2009 at 11:56 Posted on Just Married 0 4

Hi I hope someone can help and I'm not doing the wrong thing, but I don't know who else to ask!

I am going to be doing a wedding planners course (I know everyone who plans their own wedding thinks, hey this is easy I’m going to do this as a career right? the thing is I have always worked in events and have always wanted to organise weddings, but I have finally decided that I should get on and re-train and actually do what I want to do with my life!). The thing is before the course we are supposed to ask people who have been married in the last 5 years a few questions about their wedding, well I don't know anyone who has been married in the last 5 years (apart from people I know from work and for obvious reasons I can't ask them!). So I wondered if anyone on here can help, everyone has been so helpful while I have been planning my own wedding, so I figured it was worth a try!

So if you have been married in the past 5 years I would really appreciate it if you could answer the questions below:

What went particularly well?

What did you find stressful?

What went wrong?

What would you change if you could go back in time?

And as a guest at a wedding....

What were the best and worst features?

What was memorable or unique?

How well did the wedding fit the couple?

What could have run smoother?

Which bits of the wedding do you rarely enjoy?

Thanks for your help

    I’m not yet married so I’m not be of so much help on your first set of questions. As a guest, I think the best features are the speech of the groom and bride. You could also suggest having the groom dance with the mom and the bride dance with the dad! Those were some tips that I have noticed on being a guest on a wedding. ?

    What went particularly well? - church service, drinks reception, morning prep and getting ready

    What did you find stressful? - my 1st venue going bust !!

    What went wrong? - see above !! also the car broke down but wasnt an issue as we had 2 cars and church was less than a mile away !

    What would you change if you could go back in time? nothing I had the best day with perfect weather ! maybe I would slow it all down a bit if thats possible !!

    hope this helps you

    So if you have been married in the past 5 years I would really appreciate it if you could answer the questions below:

    What went particularly well? It went amazingly well, couldnt of been more perfect.

    What did you find stressful? I loved every minute of it all, the planning the day itself, hence why I am now a professional wedding planner myself.

    What went wrong? i know its hard to imagine, but absolutley nothing went wrong.

    What would you change if you could go back in time? i wouldnt change anything, I loved every aspect of my wedding. I knew what I wanted and on a tight budget and I got what I wanted.

    Thank you all so much for your help. I must apologise for not thanking you all sooner, but just after i had posted that i had stopped receiving emails they only started again just before christmas! All very odd, but basically i have only just realised people had replied to me!!!

    Thank you all so much x
