"Thank
you so much
for getting me started with my wedding
planning
career! My business, Storybook Weddings, is booming!
I
have even had to turn away clients since I don't like to double-book.
It's
amazing how quickly word spreads. I have done very
little
advertising so most of the jobs come by word of mouth.
That
makes me pretty pleased since it means my clients are
happy
enough to recommend me to their friends!
Thank
you again!".

coordinate all his weddings!!! I am on such a natural high at the

wedding consulting service, all presented in an easy to follow, fully
comprehensive and in-depth 320 page course manual.
The course is
designed so that you can study at your own pace, in your free time,
and reveals highly effective strategies to enable you to begin
business operations from your own home, generating income, in a
relatively short span of time. The course manual provides in-depth

operation of a wedding consulting service, from understanding bridal
psychology through to proven marketing & promotional methods and
operating procedures for the homebased wedding coordinator, complete
with proven and highly successful business concepts you can model

Your Business Soon,
Full
or Part Time |

the thought of becoming a professional wedding coordinator interests
you, this course will provide you with the information and training
you require to get started soon and to be in business with very low
overhead and very low start-up expenses, all while enjoying the

from home because of the many advantages that offers. Such advantages
include, but are not limited to, tax advantages, comfort and
convenience, and of course, family benefits.

Weddings
Are Big Business |
If
you've recently been involved in planning, or paying
for a wedding, you are likely well aware by now that WEDDINGS ARE BIG
BUSINESS! Every year a whopping $45 billion dollars is spent by
consumers on their weddings. The wedding industry is a healthy,
thriving, prosperous market to enter for anyone who has a genuine
love of weddings, great people skills (a must!),
and who is looking to establish a business of their own.
Have
you looked at the cost of planning a wedding in your area recently?
Today's bride is spending more money than ever before in order to
ensure that her wedding day - the single most important day of her
life - is planned to perfection. In the US and Canada, the average
wedding in 2002 came in at a cost of approximately $23,000. By 2008
the cost of the average wedding had jumped to $29,000, and many
couples spend far in excess of that amount. And it's not just in the
US and Canada that weddings command such cash, in the United Kingdom,
the average couple spent £14,500 in 2002 and that figured rose
to £17249 in 2008 . Big money is being spent on weddings in
countries all around the world, and as such, the field of wedding
consulting is growing on an international basis.
Wedding
coordinators play an important role as professionals within the
industry. Consultants can save the bride time, money, and
considerable stress. A good consultant will be a wealth of
information, ideas, and contacts for the bride-to-be, ensuring that
her wedding day ends up being more wonderful than she had even
envisioned it, and often times far more spectacular than it would
have been had a consultant not ben involved. As such, professional
wedding consultants are compensated well for their knowledge, talent,
time, and expertise.
Through
the Wedding Consulting Course offered through the Professional
Development Division of SuperWeddings.com, one can acquire the
knowledge and training required to become a professional wedding
consultant, quickly, conveniently, and extremely affordably.

unattainable to many individuals who may be unable to travel to a
seminar due to family obligations, employment obligations, financial
limitations, or a variety of other reasons. The Professional
Development Division of SuperWeddings.com believes that it is not
appropriate to exclude individuals from the ability to learn for such
a reason.
In the experience
of the developers of this program, attending a seminar does not
necessitate a better quality of learning experience. The course
material has been carefully developed with the home-study situation
in mind in order to ensure a quality of learning as high, if not
higher than many courses in which travel to attend a seminar is mandated.
Further, every
student of this program is assigned an instructor who works with
them, as long as they remain in good standing*, in order to ensure
the highest quality of learning experience. The level of one-on-one,individualized,
personal instruction each student receives is superior to that which
is possible in most seminar or classroom environments.
In fact, the
instructor interaction we provide at no additional charge to every
student in good standing can very much be likened to the services of
a personal business 'coach', and often goes well beyond the typical
instructor- student relationship.
Q: I
have seen other courses on this topic offered at $650 to well in
excess of $1000. Is the course offered through The Professional
Development Division of SuperWeddings.com equally as thorough?
A:
Yes. In fact, the depth, level, and
quality of information, as well as the detail in which we teach about
this business, in some cases far surpasses that offered in courses
which are much higher priced. At The Professional Development
Division of SuperWeddings.com, our philosophy is to assist
individuals in pursuing their professional goals and dreams within
the wedding industry at a reasonable and realistic cost which is
easily affordable to individuals of even the most modest means. Being
able to enjoy the pride of business ownership while doing what one
loves can be a life enriching experience in a wide variety of ways.
Denying individuals that benefit due to cost is to deny them of
the opportunity to change and better their lives, or to live a higher
quality of life. The Professional Development Division of
SuperWeddings.com is committed to leading people with aspirations and
dreams to a more fulfilling and rewarding place in their lives,
through the sharing of expert information, experience, and knowledge.
As such, we price our courses as low as realistically possible, our
focus being placed on providing the greatest possible learning
experience, in place of turning the greatest possible profit.
Further, we have
had several students who have been certified through other more
costly programs and who subsequently turned to our course for further
training because they simply did not feel that they had been properly
prepared and equipped to begin operations through the previous
training they had received. Based on the reputation of
Superweddings.com and our Professional Development Division, they
felt confident that this program would successfully launch their new
careers - and indeed it has!
Q: How
is The Professional Development Division of SuperWeddings.com able
to offer such low prices on it's courses?
A:
Plainly put, we simply take less
profit than others who are charging significantly more. This is in no
way a criticism of those who assign a higher price to this type of
training information. Indeed this information does have a very high
value, and almost always, those who are now providing it to others
have first acquired it at a very significant cost. Particularly
considering the value of years of experience, knowledge and
expertise, as well as the financial cost of training and education
paid by many of the experienced professionals & experts who offer
such courses, one may see that the value of the information offered
in courses such as ours is great indeed. These individuals and
companies are certainly well justified in charging the rates which
they do. We simply operate by a different philosophy, and strive to
set our pricing so that our program is not financially unattainable
for any individual with a genuine love of weddings and the firm
desire and commitment to make them a career. As such, we charge you
only for the course manual, and provide the personalized interaction
of an instructor and eligibility for certification free of charge to
all students in good standing*.
Q: What
if I have questions while going through the course?
A:
The
Professional Development Division of SuperWeddings.com assigns an
instructor, free of charge, to every student in good standing in
order to assist them through the study process, answer questions, and
clarify any possible trouble spots. Your instructor will work with
you to identify any areas of weakness in your business concept or
approach in order to ensure the highest possible likelihood of
success. She will offer advice and suggestions, where applicable, to
make your business concept, formula, and approach stronger. Think of
your instructor as your own personal business coach. At every point
through out your studies, your instructor is an email away, on hand
to assist you. This level of personalized instruction and in-depth
training is simply not heard of elsewhere in the industry at such an
affordable price point.
Q: Does
The Professional Development Division of SuperWeddings.com offer any
other forms of support to assist me as a wedding coordinator or
bridal consultant?
A:
Yes.
As just one example, this training program is offered through
SuperWeddings.com, the popular online wedding planning guide.
SuperWeddings is a site devoted exclusively to the subject of wedding
planning, and is visited by thousands of brides-to-be each week.
Consultants who have successfully completed program are eligible for
special opportunities for exposure for their businesses on the
SuperWeddings site or for promoting their business online, such as
the opportunity to have one's business featured on SuperWeddings.com,
inclusion in international wedding consultant referral service, along
with a host of other possibilities for widespread promotion.
SuperWeddings also offers a Wedding Business Resource Center to
further assist and support you with the growth and expansion of your
business once you have successfully completed the course. The whole
purpose of The Professional Development Division of SuperWeddings.com
is to help people achieve the personal satisfaction that comes with
successfully owning a business in a field which one loves - the
wedding industry. We are constantly looking for new ways in which to
do that, and for new opportunities to make available to our students
to expand their businesses and further their professional
development. We keep in touch with students who have completed our
program, and encourage them to keep in touch with us so that we may
lend our support and assistance as their businesses develop. We offer
ongoing opportunities for professional development through a variety
of courses, seminars, and services, all of which are available at the
student's option.
Q: Are
students from countries outside of the US or Canada accepted into
the program, and is the course material relevant to international students?
A:
Absolutely. This course is used to
provide training to wedding consultants internationally. This course
is administered in assocation with The International Institute of
Weddings™, an organization dedicated to the provision of the
highest quality of training, support, and professional development
for wedding professionals on an international basis. We are proud to
have students in many countries around the world, including New
Zealand, Ireland, Australia, South Africa, Luxembourg, France,
Barbados, Cayman Islands, The Phillipines, Greece, Egypt, Israel,
Brazil, Japan, West Indies, as well as countless others, in addition,
of course, to the United States and Canada. All training is done very
successfully via correspondance (distance learning) and all students
receive the same level of personalized instruction with a tutor who
is assigned to work with them via email. All assignments can be
submitted to your instructor via email. Students are able to
communicate with their instructor to ask questions, seek guidance,
etc. via email anytime they require additional assistance, and we
pride ourselves in being extremely responsive to our students.
The course was
developed to be relevant to students on an international basis. The
qualification you receive is internationally recognized. This program
is used by students literally throughout the globe. Our focus in
developing this course was to ensure that it would be of benefit to
students around the world - not just in the US or Canada. We
offer ongoing support to all of our students, regardless of their
geographic location. We are very interested in developing long term
professional relationships with our consultants, and we encourage
students of our program to remain in touch with us after completing
the program so that we can continue to provide them with assistance
and opportunites for exposure and further professional development.
Keep in mind that the SuperWeddings site also has a large
international audience - it is by no means limited merely to US
visitors. Each day the site is visited by brides in an average of 74
different countries (at the last count)!
Q: How
long do I have to complete the course?
A:
The course contains very thorough
and extensive material, and it is designed to literally lead you
through the start-up stages of establishing your wedding consulting
business while you study. Because of it's in-depth nature,
most students find that it takes between 3 and 6 months to fully
complete the program. This time frame, however, is not based
on full-time study, since most of our students have other commitments
which would make it difficult for them to undertake full-time study.
If you are able to devote all of your time to your studies, it
is possible to complete the course more quickly. It is important to
note that we do not severely restrict the length of time a student
may have to take to complete the program, but rather, we allow
students to study at a pace which is comfortable for them, and which
is compatable with their current schedules and existing commitments.
We understand that most of our students are either presently employed
full time, involved in other full time studies, or may already be
running businesses in the wedding industry, and we have structured
the course to accomodate these realities. We do not believe that
causing a student to feel pressured or rushed is conducive to
providing a quality learning experience, particularly when the
learning material is as extensive as that which is contained in this
program. We want our students to truly experience enlightenment through
our program, so that when they complete it, they know precisely how
to go about launching their careers as professional wedding
consultants, and are fully equipped with the tools necessary to
accomplish that. We therefore prefer that our students take the time
they require to completely focus on the concepts taught, and to fully
absorb the material, rather than turning this into a "speed
reading" assignment! Keep in mind that because of the way the
program is structured, you will actually be performing many of the
tasks involved in getting your career started while benefiting from
the guidance of your instructor, as you study - that's all part of
the highly practical approach used in this program. The result of
this approach is that immediately upon completion of the course, you
are ready to begin operations as a professional wedding consultant -
unless, for some reason, you would prefer otherwise. This is why the
consultants we train experience a particularly high success rate in
actually establishing their businesses within a very short time of
completing the course! Note: Though it is rarely required, students
are allowed up to one full year to complete the program and submit
all course work. In the event that circumstances should ever
necessitate a student to require an extention beyond this time frame
- for example, in the event of illness, acts of war, acts of God,
etc. - the instructor shall consider any request made in writing, and
which she deems to be valid.
Q: What
are the credentials behind this course?
A:
The
Wedding Coordination & Consulting Course offered by The
Professional Development Division of SuperWeddings.com was developed
under the direction of internationally recognized wedding expert and
professional wedding consultant Linda
Kevich (click for full bio). Ms. Kevich is currently the
editor-in-chief of the popular online wedding planning guide
SuperWeddings.com, and Director of the International Institute of
Weddings. An examination of the content, quality,
depth, and accuracy of the information contained within the pages of
the SuperWeddings site offers a testament to Ms. Kevich's vast and
extensive knowledge of weddings and wedding planning.
SuperWeddings.com is among the leading sites on the internet for
quality wedding content, and is a content provider to other wedding
related sites and portals in the US and abroad. Further, in January
2003, it
was announced by TrafficRanking Inc (similar concept to the Neilson
Ratings) the premier online market research resource for comparative
statistical data, that based upon independent research and
statistical data, Linda Kevich's SuperWeddings.com is now ranked
among the most visited sites on the internet (taking all categories
and topics into consideration). With over 40 million web sites on the
net, to achieve such stature is a significant achievement -
particularly when one considers that SuperWeddings.com is one of the
few 'dot-coms' which is privately held and, unlike many of the more
popular sites on-line, has never been dependant upon financial
backers or investors for funding, preferring instead to let the
quality and merit of its content speak for itself and drive it's
success. In it's statement, TrafficRanking said, "Independent
market research has shown SuperWeddings.com to be one of the most
popular websites on the internet".

and bridal show production. Brides-to-be who depend on Ms.Kevich's
extensive knowledge and advice have affectionately named her "The
Etiquette Queen". She is the designer of her own line of
wedding accessories and also writes extensively on the topic of weddings.
Ms. Kevich's
educational background on the university level was carefully planned
for her intended career in the wedding industry, and clearly it has
served her well. She studied Human Ecology, specializing in fashion
design - with an obvious emphasis on bridal, marketing, and
merchandising - as well as studies in communications, family studies,
marriage and family, sociology, and psychology. Following her
university education she studied to become a professional bridal
consultant and went on to launch a ten year career in the wedding
industry. Her warm, approachable manner and genuine love of weddings
and the industry as a whole has earned her the admiration and
endearment of brides-to-be, as well as other members of the wedding
industry community.

shares her expertise with other members of the wedding industry as a
business and marketing consultant, and has authored several
industry-related training materials.

called upon by national media to share her expert advice on weddings.
