Hi, ok so recently I have decided that I want to become a event/wedding planner. I am only 16 so I still have time to decide. But I was wondering if there are any colleges that you can major in event planning? And do they make a lot of money? Thanks!
You can pretty easily find certification programs but you’ll be hard pressed to find an accredited bachelors degree program. I know I haven’t.
You might consider related courses of study. Wedding planning is about business, leadership, project management, fashion design, interior design, and even some performance arts.
Wedding planning is primarily is a trade skill. No matter how much education you get, you’ll still have to be shown the trade.
Just to be perfectly clear, a college education helps ANY career. That being said, you should look at organizations like the Association of Bridal Consultants and the Association of Certified Professional Wedding Consultants.
You might also consider getting some experience planning some small, simple weddings while you are in college. Being able to say that you’ve been in the business for four years is pretty good.
