Wedding Planners Must Have Strong Organizational Skills

Continuing with my series for those interested in pursuing a career in wedding planning, this week I thought that I'd highlight the skills that it takes to become a wedding planner. In my conversation with Marsha Ballard, owner of Stardust Celebrations Corporation in Dallas, I learned that the typical full service wedding planners manages about 12-20 weddings each year, and a wedding day coordinator handles about 50. That's a lot of brides, and it takes significant organization skills. Last month my exchange with Ballard highlighted what it takes to start a wedding planning business.
