"After completing the SuperWeddings Certification course I have gained all the needed knowledge to not only start a wedding consulting business, but to make it a huge success. I liked the fact that everything I need to know about being a wedding planner was fully covered in this course from start to finish. Examples that were given in the training manual and lessons really helped me get a clear picture of what scenarios I could expect. A job well done in compiling a program that I'm sure all students will understand and also enjoy. Knowing that I could always contact my instructor if I need to, gave me ease of mind that I don't have to worry if I didn't understand anything.

I definitely recommend this course. It's easy to follow and you learn a lot. There was not a thing that was not covered in this course. And I like that there is the option to further your studies if you want to through more advanced and specialized courses from SuperWeddings as your career and business develops. Thank you for proving me with all the knowledge I need and making studying fun. I would gladly provide you with a letter of reference for this course if requested".

"I was very pleased with all of the material that this course covered, and how thorough it was. It covered everything that I had concerns about - and even things that I did not really consider, but now realize are very important. I think that it was a very smart choice to take the course from SuperWeddings.com instead of all the other choices I had. I give this course my recommendation. I think that it covered and explained everything that a wedding coordinator needs to know".

"I have to tell you that I am really enjoying the course and am very pleased with the amount of information you have put into the course material. I am on my second read-through of the course manual right now. I have taken many other wedding planner courses over the years and have not felt that they gave me the necessary business aspects to start my own wedding planner business.  Some of those courses were even offered by local colleges in my area. None of the other courses provided the practical or useful information for running a wedding planning business that your course has given me, or the detailed guidance on dealing with vendors, pricing, marketing, etc., even though that was supposed to be covered. I feel that with the information your course  has provided, I am going to be much more successful since you cover it all, including so many ways in which to market my business.  Thank you so much for such detailed and thorough information".

"I just thought I'd drop you an email and let you know that I actually had an opportunity to review the course material for another wedding planner certification course prior to enrolling in your course. The course was from the Professional Career Development Institute (PCDI), a course I originally considered before I enrolled in this one. I am SO GLAD I DID NOT REGISTER WITH THEM. It's unbelievable. The manuals read like they are trying to teach 8 year olds how to be bridal consultants. There is a whole chapter on how to follow directions. They repeat these directions over and over again on how to study, when to study, how to set goals, etc. It's just a bunch of stuff to fill up pages and make it look like there's more than there is. The tests at the end of each lesson are a joke. I'm sure that unchallenging approach works for some people, but definitely not me!! Who would take certification from a program like that seriously? All I can say is that The SuperWeddings Certification course is 100% times better. The assignments were more in depth, more detailed, and gave me a better understanding of concepts rather than just making me memorize things, which anyone can do, but that doesn't mean they'll actually know how to do this. THIS is what is going to enable me to be a good wedding planner, have happy clients, do my job well, and therefore be successful. I am so glad I didn't choose the other course (and spend way more money). I just wanted to tell you from someone who has actually sampled other programs, yours is FAR more professional, educational, and challenging. THANK YOU. I will put this into my more formal written recommendation for you once I receive my certification".

Thanks,

I knew this course was the way to go from the very beginning, just from reading the information on the website and then reading the testimonials. Besides knowing that this was the course I wanted from the very beginning I do have a friend who is also studying wedding planning through a different course, so I do know what her course entails and the price she's paying. I found that your course offers much more insight into the industry and provides you with every possible aspect of professionally planning a wedding and running your own business.  I personally think that this course is indeed priced fairly even with the exchange rate (I am in South Africa) as with this course you are going to gain knowledge of not only to be a successful wedding planner but also to successfully run a business which is great!

"Linda,

Thank you for your feedback on my assignments! I feel that I really learned a lot from this course and it is the best out of the three courses that I have taken. Since finishing your course I have obtained clients and lots of them. I have done five weddings since completing your course and all the clients have been very happy with my services. I credit the knowledge that I received from this course for the success of my business. It has made me look more knowledgeable and taught me so much. Thank you for your wonderful course. I will write more for you to use as a full reference letter. I will definitely keep in touch!

"This is the best decision I have ever made. To be quite honest, I was very skeptical about reading the home study course on my own without attending any lectures or seminars. But to my greatest surprise this course training manual is laid out so clear that I found it so motivating, and I just could not stop reading it!

I feel very confident about starting my wedding consulting business now!

I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants to become a professional wedding consultant. It covered EVERYTHING I needed to learn. It is a necessary course for anyone who wants to be in the wedding industry. I like the fact that you get to do the reading in your own pace.

I am really glad I did it!"

"Linda,

Your program works for me! I just wanted to share some great news with you. I was able to already secure two accounts even without receiving my certificate of completion of your home study yet. This proves to me that if you work at it you can have it. I am still working on my advertising programs but networked with people that I met in the supermarket and in my daily interactions like the mall, just as the program advises. Thanks and I look forward to receiving my certification soon.

"I was extremely satisfied with this course. It was almost half the price of other ones, yet it was more detailed and informative than the higher priced ones. Every question I had going into the program was answered throughout this course. I would defiantly recommend this course to anyone. The course covered all the areas and topics I had hoped it would - and even some things I hadn’t even thought about. I enjoyed the course and was pleased at how easily it was to understand everything. It was extremely organized and will be a great tool in starting my business. I will keep it in my library to refer back to whenever needed. My instructor was also helpful and encouraging".

Dear Ms. Kevich,

I am extremely happy to have found your Professional Wedding Consulting & Coordination Course. Becoming a Wedding Coordinator has been a dream of mine and you helped my dream come true!

I researched many different Consultant Training Programs and your program immediately caught my attention. The cost of the course was affordable and the course material was exactly what I was looking for. The information was extremely detailed and easy to follow, and with having a full time job at the time of studying, the SuperWeddings.com program allowed me to work at my own pace.

The SuperWeddings.com Professional Consulting & Coordination Course gave me the confidence to coordinate two weddings and participate in two bridal shows even before completing my assignments!

I highly recommend this course to anyone that has a dream of becoming a Wedding Coordinator!

Thank you for making Simply Stunning a dream come true!

"Dear Linda

Today I received my course materials and an email notifying me that you would be my mentor. Needless to say I'm delighted that you will personally be mentoring me since my research on wedding planning/consulting led me to may mentions of your name. I took my time to research which online course to take and am thankful that I did. In taking my time I thwarted signing up for another course that was more expensive and less extensive!

I'm looking forward to working with you Linda. Your reputation in the industry and your knowledge is of the highest standards -- I'm honored!

This program was by far the least expensive of the ones I looked at, yet it is also the most detailed of all the programs.  I like that you get an actual training manual to keep for reference. Some of the other programs just have you download the material from their website onto your computer.  Another program I looked at was almost $1000.00 and they cram everything into a three day seminar which just doesn't seem realistic to me.  I also like the support that this program gives, so even though you are doing it at home there is always someone to help you.

"A friend of mine (my business partner) researched a few courses. But I didn’t feel the need to research any other programs once I read information on Super Weddings. The thoroughness of the course immediately drew my attention. Initially, my friend and I did not intend on enrolling in a course, but the more we gathered for meetings, the more we figured out we DEFINITELY needed help. The items listed indicating what the SuperWeddings course covered had EVERYTHING that we needed information on. On top of that, it was about $200+ less than the other courses my friend had researched. But as I mentioned, I personally did not feel the need to research other programs".

"Hi Linda!!

I finished session 1 and I am ready for my first assignment! I cannot believe how informative this course has been so far. I am thrilled. I never fully understood the specifics going into setting up a wedding planning business, or for successful marketing, but now I have so much to work with, and I definitely will be referring back to my training manuals all the time. I feel more enlightened and better able to start. I actually feel like I have a leg to stand on! I've already started scoping out the local market and making plans for how I will arrange my office/consulting area!

Please send me the first assignment as I cannot wait to see what it is and move forward with it!!

"I totally recommend this course to any person interested in being a Wedding Consultant. I have searched for so many months to find a course in Australia but only to find Event Management courses and it required 2-3 years to complete. As a mother of a 9 month old, I was so ecstatic when I found the Wedding Consultant course through SuperWeddings / International Institute of Weddings. It is extremely in depth and extremely affordable. I could study at my own pace without leaving my home. Our instructor Linda is on hand to help out where need be and her feedback from the assignments is really encouraging. I'm now looking forward to my new career for myself and my family. Thanks Super Weddings!

"I just want to add that it truly has been a 'rare and unique opportunity to have trained under the personal direction of a recognized wedding industry expert such as Linda Kevich. This experience has done wonders for my wedding career and really broadened my expertise. I've been involved in the wedding industry for a while now, so I read everything and anything I come across pertaining to weddings, and I had seen Ms kevich mentioned as a wedding expert in many articles in newspapers and magazines, as well as online. In one article in either a newspaper or magazine she was quoted right along side Colin Cowie. That really shows the stature and esteem she has as a wedding expert, I and I feel really privileged to have learned directly from her. So when I found out about your program, I immediately recognized its credibility and value. I probably shouldn't say this, but I am amazed that you don't charge a much higher price for this course and the mentorship you offer to students. I know people would absolutely would pay more for this particular program. I've personally taken other courses that don't hold a candle to this course, and they cost much more. Now that I've finished this course, I can tell you, you're under priced!! I actually knew this before I registered, but I wasn't going to suggest you up the price before I enrolled!"

"Hi Linda

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 words 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.

I was asked a few weeks ago to be a guest speaker at a World Conference to discuss Wedding Planning. The Conference was today - (Valentine's Day - how perfect!) and it went great! I can honestly say that the information you taught me through your course was a life-saver! While I wasn't able to share everything with them on how to put together a wedding (it would take much more than the hour I was allotted!) I was able to touch on the highlights and give them some helpful tips. It was a great experience.

Needless to say - it's a little hectic around here! I'm thrilled about the way things have gone with my business - and am so glad I was able to apply all I've learned in the course to help my daughter have her dream wedding as well!

I cannot tell you how impressed I am with your manual, it definitely is worth every penny. Your manual really goes into areas where others don't - such as pricing, levels of service etc. I has taken me 10 years to figure it out, there does seem to be a big secret around alot of these areas. I definitely have gotten some great ideas for my new brochure, advertising plan and what my next step will be in specialization in the field of wedding coordinating.

It seems when the student is ready, the teacher really does appear, I feel your manual is taking me to my next level. I am sooooo excited.

Anway... I am ready for the assignment for session I. I am looking forward to beginning Session II. I am sooooo jazzzzzzzzed!

"I have read the first session of my training manual and am ready to work on my assignment. I'm really enjoying this as it is very informative, well written and right to the point! It makes me want to go out and start drumming up client's! I have to say, this course is very sound in its business principals. I really didn't know what to expect for the money, but am very pleased with what I have read and learned so far. My husband has his own transportation business and had to develop a business plan, concept, advertising budget, and so on... This course touched on everything his accountant stressed to us before we started his business. I am looking forward to completing this course and building my business over the next year or so to where I can retire from the medical field. I am looking forward to the next part of my studies.

Sincerely yours,

"I am very satisfied with the course. It was a great help. The confidence in my ability to start up my business has grown immensely through doing this course. I know I could not have started this business without it. I now have a clear idea on how to get started, and trouble shoot if the need arises. I would recommend this course to anyone who wanted to start in this business".

"In deciding to go with this course, the price was a big influence, as others were so expensive -- but when I looked at the amount of information covered, I knew that this course was the one for me. I don't think that there is a single subject not mentioned in this course. I know I have made the right choice".

"It has been a pleasure reading the course materials and getting excited about starting a new business in weddings and events. I would definitely recommend this course to others who might be interested in entering the wedding consulting profession, or even existing wedding consultants who would like more detailed information on the planning process. I was pleased with the ease of understanding the course materials offered and the detailed information that was supplied in both sessions. It was quite a value compared to other courses I researched. I feel the materials have helped to walk me through the processes of planning weddings and helped me to see the things that I will need to look out for. I am already working with 1 client and have 2 potentials on the way. The step by step approach listed in these materials has helped me to create a checklist of things to follow so I won't miss a beat. Again, it has been a pleasure taking this course and I'm ready to start putting all that info to good use! Please feel free to use my comments [as a testimonial]".

"Hi Ms. Kevich,

First let me tell you thanks for the advice. Especially the thought about [proprietary information; edited]. That's great. I'll be grateful if you used some of my pictures on your site. After all, free press is great. The bridal show went quite well and I've attached a picture from it for you to see. I actually went with the colours fuchsia and orange to stand out and it really worked. I've also attached a picture of a wedding I did two weeks ago. I look forward to receiving my certificate. Please let me know when you're doing classes on theme weddings!

"...Also, I did some research on wedding planners in Toronto (where I live) and a number of them were associated with SuperWeddings™. Many of them had the SuperWeddings™. name on their website, which furthered my decision to take the course through you.

When I realized that I wanted to pursue wedding planning professionally, I began my research on the Internet looking for a legitimate course to take. I'm a busy person and I was looking for something that I could do at home, on my own time. I came across a few, but after comparing, chose this one.

The price of this program played a small factor...but it definitely was not the deciding factor. I looked carefully at the depth of the information that was covered as well as the topics. This course covered a number of topics that the other programs did not. And also, when I requested information from the other programs, I felt like they were harassing me and pushing me to take their course. I liked how SuperWeddings respected my space and gave me only what I requested".

Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for your response and advice! WOW, how helpful &ldots;I have printed it off and am going to sit and take it all in. Your hints and tips are fantastic. I’m know you helped already ten fold with your kind comments and boosted my confidence also. The radio station actually contacted me after finding my website and just had a chat and then from there they asked me to appear&ldots;yikes!! This is something I would never normally do! I just thought this was a fantastic opportunity and a huge learning experience for me and has huge advantages for me. Thanks once again for all your help and I will of course mention you and Superweddings.com and the International Institute of Weddings in my radio spot!

"I was in the market for a good quality training program for a certificate in wedding consulting... I was reading some online suggestions from different men and women who have received their training from you, and it was HIGHLY recommended. So I checked it out and found that your program was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I looked at other programs, but chose this one because I was impressed by the depth of information covered, the price, and the reputation of the SuperWeddings site. I liked the fact that I'd be able to write you personally and get a response if I have questions or need help- rather than winging it on my own!"

"Dear Linda

I have to say a big THANK YOU for helping me through this course and guiding me to becoming what I believe will be a great wedding consultant. I would like to thank you personally for your kindness and friendship through these past months when I was doing my Professional Wedding Course.

Your staff at SuperWeddings.com was a very big help to me as well and guided me through this course, and for that I am very grateful.

The Superweddings.com Certification course has provided me with the resources and knowledge required to succeed as an independent wedding consultant.

I am sure that in no time at all I will develop my own natural flow that was demonstrated in this SuperWeddings Course.

Most other wedding certification courses do not offer the ongoing guidance and support that SuperWeddings offers - it is quite a unique program that allows you to get started in this industry with a full network of resources.

For anyone that is looking for a truly professional course in wedding consulting, SuperWeddings.com would definitely be the one.

Linda you are a truly unique lady and I am glad that we have crossed paths through your website. I shall keep you informed at what I am up to with my business and will hope to continue the friendship in which we have.

God Bless.

The concepts and ideas are applicable to all settings, including mine in the Caribbean.

When I read about the classes offered and the details they provided, I knew it was the right class for me. I compared this program to 8 other programs. I picked this one because this course offered so much more useful information than the others, but yet it didn't cost as much as the other programs".

"I was impressed at the extensive coverage this course offers. I had done a lot of prep work on my own before I signed on for the course work, assuming it would be more of a logistical step to get certified. I was on the right track, but this course made me complete some of the important tasks I was intending to skip over. It really is there to ensure you are prepared for the wedding coordinating business and almost ensures your success upon completion. It is very thorough and more intensive than I ever expected".

"Linda,

The wedding this weekend was quite the experience! I did not meet the bride until about a month ago; therefore, I only had to help with last minute details. Boy was I glad I had read the first section of this course! I was able to truly exercise the problem solving section.

My main job was the reception, so I did not attend the actual ceremony. I arrived at the reception site at 3:00 p.m. to make sure the cakes were delivered and the caterer arrived on time, etc. At 6:30 I realized the band had not arrived. The caterer and I decided it would be best if I called the band (I had not helped with this part of the planning). The band leader answered the phone and told me that he would not be there until 9:00 p.m. (The mother of the bride had told me to expect them at 9:00 a.m. !!!!) After explaining the situation to him, he quickly made his way to the reception hall. The ice sculpture arrived at 6:45 p.m. ... BROKEN. The shrimp table was bare, so I called my husband to bring in back up crystal containers from my collection...no one knew the difference. The next bump... the bride and groom did not arrive at the reception until 9:15 p.m....the photographer informed me, while we were waiting, that his time was up at 9:30p.m. I had exactly 15 minutes to get the bride and groom to cut their cakes, make a toast and have their first dance in order to have pictures to mark the occasion. I DID IT!!!!

Everyone was soooo impressed, they wanted my card (the photographer, the limo driver, the videographer, as well as a couple of the bridesmaids who will be getting married within the next year). All in all, I'd say it was a success! Many guests were surprised at how much pressure I had taken off of the mother of the bride.

Thanks for all of your help - your material has been a tremendous help!

Thanks again,

"I am extremely satisfied with the course and I would like to add that although it is geared specifically for wedding consultation, it has helped greatly in our overall business endeavor. Your course gently guided me through the process of a business plan, marketing research and business projection, not to mention budgeting and the proper method of preparing a press release - which, by the way, was published in our local newspaper! My daughters and I have successfully started our new business wedding florist shop and wedding consulting service, and we are grateful that I was taking your course during this time, because it was so relevant to what we were doing, and gave us much needed guidance. I have appreciated the personalized contact and the encouragement that has always been available.

There were no areas or topics which I had hoped the course would cover which it did not. None at all, in fact, the course was even much more than I had expected.

I would certainly recommend this course to anyone interested in becoming a wedding consultant - but only if they would be doing business in another area - your course is so informative, I'm afraid that anyone you train would be too much competition if they were going to be operating in our immediate area!!"

I was so happy to hear that I can still turn to you when I have problems or questions even now that I've finished the course.

"I was very satisfied with the course! The course goes into explicit detail to give you a very good idea of what is required to be a successful consultant, yet still remains clear and easy to understand. Further, this course delves into the business requirements and really prepares you for establishing and entering a business, which I found other courses severely lacked. I also appreciate the availability of continued support from the instructor, answering any questions and giving helpful feedback during the course. Beyond that, I can still have help after my business and career are underway. It is definitely nice to know that a personal interest is being taken in you and you are not just a "sale". I would highly recommend this course to anyone who would like to become a wedding consultant. I would especially recommend this course if someone needs help understanding the business aspect of starting this career, since other courses don't seem to provide this type of information. However, they would need the understanding of weddings and what a consultant's role is, and this course provides that information in great detail as well. They can't go wrong with taking this course. There were no topics which were not covered in this course. I was very pleased".

... Lastly, I'm so excited about completing this course. It's been so much fun learning more about a business that I've always loved. Upon completion, I feel like I can be a success in the wedding industry and I'm excited about showing this area that there is someone in town who is capable of taking the stress out of wedding planning. This course has made me feel competent and confident. I'm ready to dive deeper into pursuing my goals of being a wedding consultant.

Thank you for all the kind words of encouragement you have given me. And I appreciate the level of personal attention I received from you through this home study. That means a lot to me.

I will keep you posted on what is happening in my new business. I'm hoping to give you a few success stories soon!

I feel it has put me in good stead to start up my own business and has given me a head start above others who might not have done the course.

I found the course very helpful and it gave me an idea of where and how to start in what, potentially, is a maze of questions. I would recommend it without a doubt. I felt everything I needed to know was covered".

I feel this course is very well organized and detailed in information. I am truly impressed by the course and what it has to offer each student.

"I was searching for event management courses available in Australia that would give me the necessary skills to work as a wedding planner. I was beginning to get very disheartened, because all courses required up to three years full time study, which I could neither afford the time or money to commit to, and I really did not want to wait so long to get started in the industry. When looking up "wedding planner courses Australia" in the search engine, a link led me to a testimonial from a lady in Queensland who had taken the SuperWeddings Homestudy Program. This then linked me to the SuperWeddings homepage and I knew I had found the perfect study program for me.

Of course for me the first thing that captured my attention to the SuperWeddings Home Study Program was the fact that you catered for overseas students and your reputation on the international scene was excellent. I was also very impressed with your competitive prices. Your website is very detailed, outlining the course details and other information, and the testimonials and letters of reference were very helpful in making my decision. You come across as a professional, honest and sincere organisation. The level of support you provide to your students was also critical to my decision".

All of the concepts you teach make such good sense to me. If I am naturally thinking like you, maybe I really do have a chance of being successful! I have eagerly "consumed" the first session and think I am ready for my first assignment. Thank you again!"

"I have been very pleased with the depth of information this course has provided. It has given me the knowledge that I feel will help me stand out from my competitors. The assignments were essential in this learning process and have really helped put together my processes for my business. Without the assignments I would not have actively retained the information in the course. The money spent on this course was well worth it!!

"I am very satisfied with the information gained in this course. It covered everything that I need to know to make my business a success. I was already doing weddings prior to taking this course, so I was really happy to see that there was still a lot the course was able to teach me. In the course I learned about things that I had never before done or encountered yet, so fortunately I now know to do many things that have made my business better, and my work easier. I definitely recommend this course. There were no areas it did not cover. In addition to being a wedding planner, I have another job. Plus I am caring for an aging parent and also doing weddings, so I never seemed to have more than a few hours at a time to work on my training. Thank you for allowing me all the time that I needed. Feel free to use me as a reference".

"I feel like this course was much better than I could have expected from any other wedding planner course. It covered every aspect of the wedding consultation industry and I now feel confident in starting my own business as a wedding planner. I'd definitely recommend this program. I enjoyed this course and the way it was presented. It was thorough and well written, easy to follow and understand. The assignments were very helpful in laying the foundation for my business and the exams were a way to measure my actual knowledge that I had retained from the course and assignments. I am very satisfied with this course".

I am so happy to see that you are my instructor! I got my package less than one week ago and am done with section one and am ready for my test. I am very pleased with my purchase. The book is very informative and complete. It has answered all of my questions so far. Thank you for this!"

I feel that your company is really trying to help individuals to enrich their careers, not just to get you through the course and onto the next person. I was really impressed with the fact that you do have a payment plan, though I did not take advantage of this".

"Linda,

Thank you for your feedback. It is very appreciated and encouraging! I registered for the course on the 12 month installment plan, but I was so excited once I started the program and wanted to take advantage of finishing at a quicker pace, I was able to upgrade my installment agreement. I am now on the 8 month installment plan!

One of the most rewarding parts of this training is that I am in the midst of planning a wedding and the course is proving very useful and mind-opening into the process of coordinating and navigating all that is and can be involved.

Thank you for such a wonderful and helpful course! I look forward to each unit and the homework."

"Hi Linda,

I have completed Session I of the Wedding's Consultant manual. After reading the material contained in the first session, I have to say that I had no idea how much was involved in being a wedding consultant. My husband has owned and operated his own business for a number of years now, with me operating in the background maintaining the office, and I thought I knew a lot about business. I have been interested in becoming a wedding consultant for a few years, so I was quite thrilled to see this course offered at a reasonable price. I'm looking forward to my first assignment. Thanks!"

I found you to be open, honest and forthright with information and instruction as to what was expected.

Although I have been in customer service, sales, and management in my employment career, and have planned many family weddings and events, SuperWeddings gave me much more to think about that I may have otherwise learned about the hard way over time.

I thank you for the time and effort put forth.

The price of your program was really good compared to other training programs. Also, the depth of information covered is excellent. I gave the information about this course to an established wedding consultant who I assist, and she was so surprised at how much information was covered in your program. When I took her the binder to look at after I received it, she was shocked at how well written it was, and how much it covered".

I have completed my second reading of Section 1 of the Wedding Consultant Home Study Programme and taken many notes. I congratulate you on a very comprehensive guide to this very exciting industry. I feel with this as my "bible" I will be ready to face the challenge of not only becoming a wedding consultant/coordinator, but of setting up a home-based small business. I feel confident that with the knowledge you have given me I will be a success. A degree of that will depend on me, but I am highly motivated. So I now feel ready to start on my first assignment. I will be eagerly awaiting its arrival! Thank you."

"I have learned a great deal of valuable information from this course. It covered such a wide variety of information. I think most people get excited about going into business doing the thing they love; but often they don't consider the "business" side of it, because that is not the fun part of it. However, it is necessary to know and consider these other factors to be successful in your business.

I have already recommended this course to an acquaintance, and I will recommend it to others in the future. There are other courses available at a much higher cost, but I cannot imagine what they would teach that this course did not to justify the cost difference! At this time I do not know what else you could have possibly covered".

"I was searching online for Wedding planning certification programs and saw several home study programs. After coming across SuperWeddings.com and reading through the extensive information provided about the homestudy course, along with the affordability of the course, it was an easy choice. I was impressed with the competitive price. Other programs ranged from $600 - over $1000... money which I simply did not have. I was hesitant at first with taking the SuperWeddings program because I thought "it's too good to be true"! But I'm sincerely happy with my decision. The course manual I received speaks for itself. Thank you".

Rachel Avila

 
"I chose this program for my wedding consultant training first of all because I was impressed with the amount of information your site offered. It was detailed and helped to ensure that your course would discuss all the parts of the industry I wanted to know more about. The content list seemed extremely thorough and well developed. The price was definitely a factor considering most of the other courses were well over $800 and they didn't seem near as thorough. I read the comments from other students which inspired me. I was also interested in being associated with a group that might help to make referrals in the future. After receiving the materials and looking them over, I know I made the correct choice".

"Many of the wedding consultants in my area are not certified. Not only that, many of the wedding coordinators in my area do not follow the correct, formal processes as taught in this course. They do not use a professionally learned process as the one I'm learning through the SuperWeddings Certification Course. This course alone has taught me how to be one of the best wedding consultants in my area. Using the knowledge that I have acquired from this course will definitely set me apart from other competitors in my area.

"I found this course to be of great benefit to my new business and myself. It has covered everything that a wedding consultant should need in regards to operating a successful business. This course has provided me with all the information that I would have hoped for to becoming a competent and knowledgeable wedding consultant. It has provided me with the resources and knowledge required to succeed as an independent wedding consultant.

From learning the proper wedding industry terms to learning how to handle wedding day mishaps, the course has it all. The pace and order of the materials and topics are well thought-out, and the assignments allow you to apply your newly learned knowledge and skills immediately. The training materials provided gave me enough guidance to be able to go out on my own and start my new business. I am sure that in no time at all I will develop my own natural flow that was demonstrated in this Superweddings Course.

The Superweddings course also contains unique ideas on marketing and wedding planning assistance to brides in my area. These are the key factors, which will allow me to excel in this industry as an independent wedding consultant. Most other wedding certification courses do not offer the ongoing guidance and support that Superweddings offers - it is quite a unique program that allows you to get started in this industry with a full network of resources!

You treated me with really great customer service and you always returned all my e-mails;. Above all you had my complete confidence throughout the course knowing that you were only an email away should I need your assistance.

I have to say a big THANK YOU for helping me through this course and guiding me to becoming what I believe will be a great wedding consultant.

I know that Superweddings.com have other courses available which I would love to look into in the near future.

I would be more than happy for you to include my feedback in the form of a testimonial.

"Dear Linda,

Thank you, so very much for your time and patience in allowing me to complete my studies. If you recall, I mentioned to you last year (when you graded my first assignment) how much my income goal for this year was. Well, I am proud to say that I have surpassed that goal and I still have two weddings left to do this year! It has truly been an awesome year for me, and I thank you and your staff...

When I discovered Superweddings.com I was surfing the net for new decorating ideas for weddings. I came upon your website and became interested in finding out more about being a certified bridal coordinator. Your manual has been a funnel of information, it is easy to read and understand, well indexed for quick referencing; a logical approach to the running a business. I had looked into many other programs but they were more expensive and much less impressive. More importantly, there was no on-line support or mentor to assist me with the rough areas. I have taken a long time to complete this course, not because of lack of interest, but because I have been applying everything I have learned in this course along the way which has kept me very, very busy.

When I first started this program I treated it like any other college course -- I read the entire manual first, then started answering the questions. Session I was very detailed. I had already been working as a consultant, but for someone who is just starting out, the first session has so much information there that it is really more like two sessions in one.

I have a few associates who assist me on site and they have shown some interest In learning more about being a wedding coordinator. I have suggested that they take this program.

In my opinion, every aspect of starting a business in wedding coordination was covered in the manual and if someone thinks that it is lacking anything, then maybe they did not read the manual.

Please feel free to use me as a reference for students who would like purchase this course.

"This is a great course & very helpful. Would I recommend it? Absolutely! There are so FEW programs out there that offer this kind of specific information about the wedding consulting business [Editors note: This student has previously taken courses offered through other organizations & is therefore very familiar with the content of other programs]. This course described what a person needs to know about day-to-day operations in order to be successful. The course was very complete with information on how to actually plan events, as well as the business aspects. Anything that I needed further clarification on, all I had to do was ask, and the question was answered in great detail".

"In taking this course I would have to say that my satisfaction level is extremely high. I came across your website in search for a school that would give me the necessary training to open up my own Wedding Consultant business. I am very confident that SuperWeddings.com has educated me with the knowledge that I will need to be most successful in my business venture. I would most definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in entering the field of wedding consulting. The course was very informative and yet easy to follow. The assignments are designed to not only check your understanding and readiness of the material, but also to serve as a foundation for you to build your business upon. There were no topics that were left uncovered; All the information that I will need has been covered in this course. Lastly, I just want to emphasize how much more confident I am in succeeding as a wedding consultant. Before taking this course with SuperWeddings.com, opening my own consulting business was just a dream. Now, with the in-depth knowledge that I have gained, this dream is not just going to come true, but I am confident that it is going to be extremely successful. I learned simple aspects that I would not have known to consider on my own; as well as the much more complex aspects. By all means, please feel free to use my comments as a testimonial on your web site. I want others to know how great and well informed this course is. I'm proud to be associated with such an outstanding company".

"This course met and exceeded my expectations. The course taught me thoroughly in all areas which I had believed would be a necessity to become a professional wedding consultant & coordinator. It also educated me in many areas of the profession, that I had not yet considered.

I would highly recommend this course to any friend, family member or acquaintance who is interested in becoming a professional wedding consultant. I would recommend as well that they not entertain becoming a professional wedding consultant/coordinator until they have taken this course.

There are no topics or areas which I had hoped the course would cover, which it did not. In fact, as I stated previously there were many topics and areas covered by the course which I did not expect.

I want to thank-you for this course. It has been educational, highly informative and motivational. It has given me the information and training I so desired to feel like a professional consultant/coordinator. I feel confident and secure having gained the knowledge this course provided me."

"The ink isn't even dry on my certificate but I just had to write and tell you my breakthrough! I made it into an upcoming bridal show. The show it is being sponsored by a local newspaper and they are providing a supplementary for the show. In speaking with the sales rep at the news paper I mentioned I was certified and I asked if they would consider allowing me to write the wedding consulting editorial in the supplementary...they agreed! I cannot tell you how thrilled I am and I really wanted to thank you and your training program because I would never had attempted this had I not been certified. Do you have any suggestions for me...do's and don'ts....? I will forward you the column when it is published.........!"

"I have enjoyed the personal feedback received from my first assignment, this was a very influential part in my decision when choosing this course, most vocational courses are accompanied with a simple tick answer sheet; this is ok if you want to quickly progress through the course but not actually learn anything, but I needed to gain a deeper understanding of the wedding industry and I feel that I have accomplished this, through the course and the feedback.

The level of information in the course especially the advertising and marketing aspect is brilliant, its full of useful ideas. The business advice for start ups is very good, it was refreshing to see a course that wanted to help you get your business off the ground besides being a good wedding planner. The information on writing a press release was really useful, I have attempted this before but now feel more confident, just by knowing the correct layout.

The amount of information available when starting a new business is very overwhelming in the UK, it is sometimes hard to know where to start, the course helped to put things in the priority order, I even have a well developed marketing plan to see me through the next six months.

I definitely recommend this course to anyone in the UK, or anywhere else".

"... Lastly, I want to thank you for your help. I was in such a mess because I didn't know how to handle this situation. I was really worried to pieces! So finally, upon deciding that I couldn't just leave it as it was, I emailed you for "HELP!!!" And you did. I am so appreciative to you for your guidance. I was more at ease just as soon as I read your response. Everything you said made sense to me, but I just couldn't figure it out on my own. I am glad to be associated with you and SuperWeddings.com. You not only gave me the tools to learn about being a wedding consultant, but you also care enough about your students to help them out of tough predicaments, even when they are no longer your students any more. Thanks again".

I just wanted to thank you so much for everything. I received my certificate two weeks ago, but I've been so busy with my first wedding, and working on getting a position full time at the Venue that I haven't had time to email you earlier. The wedding is coming along nicely, and I am going to be meeting with the other venue that I may be working at tonight. I'm excited that I'll be gaining experience, building relationships with vendors, and getting customer referrals all at the same time. Linda, I saw that you sent me an e-mail, but I accidently erased it. I didn't know if you were giving me some more advice in it, but if you were, I would love to hear it. Thanks again for everything, and don't worry, I won't be a stranger. :-)"

"Linda, It was so nice to hear from you. I consistently get calls from prospective consultants inquiring about the course, and am happy to recommend it to them.

I just produced my 2nd wedding expo. The first in August went really well; the one I just held last weekend was incredible, though. I had 40 different vendors including some very large chains, an hour-long fashion show, large give-aways like a trip to Jamaica, and nearly 500 people in attendance. My vendors were all very happy, really lavished praise about the organization and professionalism of the show, and I believe, will easily sign up for next year!

My business has really picked up this January. Just within the last week, I have picked up several clients.

After being in business for 2 years now, I am starting to get referrals from some very good sources...like well known department stores, local well established caterers and bakers, several venues and other wedding businesses.

I credit a lot of my budding success to the business principles I learned through the course.

Thanks again for writing. It means a lot to me to know that you continue with client service even after 2 years.

Sincerely,

"Hello Linda,

I am just writing to say hello and how are you, I received your evaluation of my first session. I was better than pleased. Thank you, for all of your kind and supportive words. I am sure you are so swamped with new students coming into this business that it is truly not funny. Since I reviewed my first session, I have participated in two bridal shows, WHICH WERE FANTASTIC!!!!

I have been so busy with directing, consulting and decorating I can hardly see straight.

Linda, I now have three people who assist me when I have weddings over 200 guests - which every one I have had this year has been!

This weekend I do not have any weddings, no appointments set. It my birthday but all I want to do is finish my session II, if that is all right with you and I will forward it on Sunday.

"Before registering, I had contact with another of your students who couldn't have made your course sound any better if she tried!

Then, when I made inquiries, your company answered my emails so fast, it told me everything I needed to know - and your program appears to cover just about every topic I could ever dream of relating to weddings!

I found another wedding consultant training program about 10 months ago with [name deleted by editor] - it took them 3 weeks to answer my original email of very basic questions. Not impressive when I am so far away.

Linda, I am looking forward to completing the course. I have finished reading session I, and am going to read it again. In fact, I will probably re-read [the training manual] 100's of times!

In fact, we have made it a requirement for all business partners of A FIRST CLASS AFFAIR, LLC.

There were no topics which were not covered in this course. The course exceeded all of my expectations. It truly lived up to its' description listed on SuperWeddings.com. The course has really broadened my knowledge of my job as a wedding consultant/coordinator. I am looking forward to receiving my certification and being able to list my credentials on my business cards.

By all means, please include anything I have submitted in the form of a testimonial. I look forward to sharing more success stories with you in the future. Prospective students can contact me via email at: zaremon@yahoo.com and I will be more than willing to provide you with a letter of reference to keep on file.

"I was pleasantly surprised when I started to read the material after receiving it. I couldn’t believe the detail and information that went into this particular course. Being a stay at home mother of two, not only is it costly to find childcare in order to take a local course, it is not my preference to leave my children in a daycare or with a babysitter, so this course allowed me to have the best of both worlds. I could take a course and be at home with my kids at the same time. This was a great option for me. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and I am anxious to use the skills and tools that I have learned in this course".

"I loved this course. It really helped me prepare for my future in consulting. I already have recommended the program. I learned so much from this course. What makes it great is that it not only teaches you about wedding consulting but it also opens up doors to recognizing marketing strategies. The reason I found this to be so valuable is that it is helping me weed out vendors who will not contribute to my success.

"I have been very satisfied with the course. The material is very applicable, easy to read, and clearly presented. I was concerned that the course would not include information about the business aspect and was pleased with the content. I would absolutely recommend this course to anyone interested in becoming a wedding consultant, in fact, once I received the course material, I recommended to my business partner that she also take the course, which she is doing. The course covered all of the information necessary to start the business which is what I was looking for. I found the course to be excellent and the assignments to be very applicable and useful. I would be more than happy to recommend your program to anyone interested in starting their own wedding consulting business. I cannot imagine trying to do it without this very valuable information.

"A friend of mine has recently been certified through another program. After watching her go through their program, and discussing it with her, I felt I needed a program with more depth than what she received. So I went searching on the internet and found your website and was very impressed. I compared this program to others as well but chose this one because of the depth of the information and the price for all the information given"

I searched many course offerings before making a decision to enroll with SuperWeddings, and have not seen any others like it. This course envelops every aspect of starting and opening your business (which I was able to do before I even finished the course)!

I would Absolutely recommend this course! It was very detailed. It is wonderful to be able to work at my own pace, since I already work full-time and have also taken college courses at the same time.

Thank you very much for offering such a wonderful course!".

I finally feel that I am going to obtain the training I have been seeking all these years. I have been feeling my way in the dark, and although I have coordinated some weddings, always felt that I was missing something. Thank goodness I found you!"

"Before starting the SuperWeddings training Program I did a great deal of comparison shopping. I also checked out four other programs. Your price was competitive in comparison to the above. Some were outrageously priced. Your course seemed more in-depth and some of the others required membership along with the courses. Not saying that is a bad thing, but I am not sure I am ready to join an organization until I feel more comfortable with what I know and am able to accomplish. Since first finding out about your program only 3 -4 weeks ago, I have certainly learned things I didn't know from your course and am certainly glad I decided to take it. I also referred someone else inquiring about becoming a wedding coordinator. Thank You".

"I chose this program because it was business oriented - not a "what to do if it rains" program. Every other program seemed shallow and fluffy. Having just completed the first assignment, I must admit that I found it more challenging than expected for a home study course. However, I do understand why each question is asked and can see that you are helping students prepare to set up a well-run small business. I am quite impressed with this course of study".

When I visited SuperWeddings.com, I came across information about the wedding consulting course. After reading the information about the course, I decided that this program would compliment my cake decorating business. I didn't even consider looking at other courses. This one impressed me with the information provided and the assistance of an instructor who has great credentials. The coursework seemed to cover every aspect and made the program very attractive to me!"

"...I would also like to say that I find this course to be a wonderful teaching source, and I have learned so much from it already. The wording is easy to understand and cancels any doubts that a person may have that they cannot complete any portion. I used to be intimidated by certain subjects and this has broken it down into manageable pieces that make me further believe that I can do/conquer anything. I have started a lot of the approaches suggested within the course with this reassurance. Thank you again, I look forward to my first assignment and to a future as a successful Wedding Consultant, thanks to this program.

Sincerely,

I would recommend this course to anyone interested in this business. I look at your course as a blueprint. Your course provides a detailed method of procedure to perform the responsibilities of a wedding consultant. I have found the information straightforward and concise.

Still working hard on my assignment. Just wanted to let you know, however, that I have my first wedding!

The bride is thrilled, as were her parents and we are starting the initial process straight away. The catch is that the wedding is in December, which is only 3 months away! I am sifting through venues to help get a move along with the bookings. The sooner the better is my motto of the moment!!

I am so very excited and know that this will be a huge learning curve for me. Any way, I have an engagement party to attend!

Speak to you soon,

Dear Linda,

Hi there! When I got the materials, I was so excited to start. I was even more amazed to find out that the topics you discussed were above my expectations. They are so informative, thoroughly discussed and very exciting and fun! In fact, I couldn't even put the manual done when I started reading it!

I'm already finished reading the first session and I wonder if you could send me the first assignment. I can't wait to start with it. I am also looking forward to reading the 2nd session!

Thank You!

"While planning my wedding, I did a great deal of research on the Internet. One of the sites I used a lot was SuperWeddings.com. After the wedding, I started doing research about getting into the consulting business and bought a book about becoming a wedding planner. The book recommended taking courses to become a certified Wedding Planner. I looked at the courses they recommended but I didn't want to spend as much money as they were charging so I did more research on the Internet and ended up back on SuperWeddings.com and read about your course. I liked the fact that there were no additional charges after the course was finished and I liked the fact that you are there for support.

The main factors in helping me decide to choose your course was the price, the information covered and the continued support you provide for students. I like the idea of working at my own pace. I found that SuperWeddings.com was a very informative site while planning my own wedding and I used it a lot. This also helped me decide to use your course. Some of the other courses I looked at seemed to be overpriced and they really didn't provide very much information up front. Some of the other programs sounded stuffy and intimidating. Your course is friendlier and more comfortable for me!"

"Dear Linda,

I have finished Session II and am submitting it for your review. I am so excited and can hardly wait to get started. We are shooting for a May 1 "go live" day. As soon as you give me the go ahead I'm printing my business stationary and starting on my vendor base with brochures and business cards in hand! Thanks so much! This has really been very informative. This course was both challenging and a lot of fun. It really got me motivated to finally "just do it"!

For the money I must say it is quite impressive. There are so many suggestions and creative ideas offered that I probably would not have thought of. Like for instance, the silver tray of chocolate truffles&ldots;LOVE that idea and plan to use it right away when consulting for that initial contract. It’s those little extra details that will set me apart and I appreciate the efforts that are inspired by the author of the course.

Would I recommend this course to someone who is interested in becoming a professional wedding consultant? If I lived in a larger area I probably would. But to be very honest, I plan to keep you a secret so I won’t have any competition out there using the same techniques I have learned. I’m sure they would prove a worthy opponent!

I Can’t think of anything this course did not cover. I feel like I have gained much needed knowledge in certain areas I wasn’t sure of, but now feel rather confidant.

Now I just wish SuperWeddings.com would hurry up and put the Wedding Floral Design Training program into place. I am also interested in adding that to my business. My daughter wants to pursue the floral end of this venture&ldots;She was so impressed with my eagerness to get my certification in consulting, that now she wants the certification behind her name as wedding floral consultant. we are planning on getting REALLY BIG in this little area! In fact, we both just finished reading your “How to Start Your Own Wedding Floral Business" manual. LOVED IT TOO! Lots of good ideas and suggestions!

You can most definitely use my feedback as a testimonial. I’ll be more than happy to send an official reference letter on my “new business stationary letterhead. Thanks SuperWeddings”!

I wanted to keep you up to date with Dream Weddings. I have a 4 o'clock appointment with a possible client. I'm looking forward to speaking with her. I know that she has already done a lot of the planning for her July 7 wedding, but she said she has a lot of things on her mind and would like to give up some of that stress.

So far, I have helped out people who are working with a budget as small as $2,000 and as large as $13,000. I don't know if this has any bearing on where my business will take me, but for now, I'm just doing what's needed for any style of wedding.

" For my own benefit I went on line to see if any of the local colleges offered any course pertaining to Wedding Consultant studies. I did not realize until I was surfing the net that one could indeed receive certification in this field. After reading about programs from some 40 companies, I found Superweddings. I narrowed my decision down and after comparing SuperWeddings with [names removed by editor for discretion], I decided upon you, of course.

After hours of reading, I found Superweddings to be the most informative of what was offered in the course, had an instructor at proper disposal for questioning, and had the most reasonable price that I didn’t have to finance. Since I was downsized, price was one of the top priorities after quality.

Ms Kevich, thank you for responding so quickly to me, and thanks again for your time and knowledge".

"After almost a year of research trying to find the best course to be certified as a Wedding Consultant, finally I found SuperWeddings.Com and registered. I've already finished with the Session I of the training, and it has been very interesting for me because there are a lot of things that I never realized I must take care in starting a new business in the Wedding Coordination industry. I am very excited and motivated to continue, and ready to take the first assignment of the training".

Cordially yours,

"I chose this course after comparing it to one other. I decided to take this one because I wanted an intensive program that would provide me with everything I need to start my own business as a wedding consultant, and teach me all I need to know about being a good wedding consultant. I found this program to list all aspects of what I want to learn, and it has detailed information as to what you will receive as compared to other courses. I have just received my course and I am very pleased with the information it contains.

Thank you,

"I did send away for information for another course for about the same price. It did not have nearly the same amount of information available as this course does. I couldn't believe all the topics covered in the SuperWeddings program. It seemed like such a great deal and I love the Super Weddings web site".

Judy W.
Professional Wedding Consultant

 
"I compared this program to others before registering, however, I can't recall their names. This program impressed me with the price, the excellent information, also the fact that so many people have found success after completion of this course made my decision final and a lot easier.

Jaimee Gessner
Professional Wedding Consultant

 
"I did not check out other programs prior to registering for this course because the table of contents provided all of the content that I would want in such a course, and the price seemed very reasonable. I was impressed by the comments sent by people who have taken the course. The depth of information covered was the most important thing for me. Also I liked being able to check out information on Linda Kevich, the IIW, etc., about this industry.

I liked that it is stated that not every single person applying for certification would automatically get it -- that it is based on each person and how they have presented themselves and their ideas... I like that there is a business coach/mentor and that there is an ability to get some support once the certification is awarded. I liked that there is a certification and the ability to belong to an association if I desire. I liked that there could be seminars to go to later on if one chooses, but that it is not a requirement in order to get the information to get started. I like that it is a self-paced program".

Joy Santer
Professional Wedding Consultant

 
"I compared this program with numerous others before registering. The number one reason I chose the SuperWeddings program was for the content and reputation. Some of the other classes offered long term payment plans, but seeing that Superweddings.com was exclusively experienced in wedding consulting courses, unlike some others, such as [name edited out for discretion] which offered courses in a wide range of topics, not specializing in just one. Also, the depth of the outline was much more vast that that of several other courses. I like that extensive information about the course is presented to the prospective student so that they can make an informed decision. It is all on the website, spelled out in black and white, where as others just gave you a broad overview of the course syllabus and the pricing structure and had you request additional information. Then when the additional information came, the brochure and information was no more detailed than their websites. SuperWeddings.com seemed like the best bang for the buck and after contacting Savannah, she was very accommodating! with flexible payment options".

"I saw no need to look at other courses before enrolling for this one as this course appears to fully meet my interests. I was very impressed by the content of information on the site and had been contemplating certification in this field. I have received my materials and am impressed with the information that I have covered thus far".

Ruth Crossman

"I was doing some research on the wedding consulting industry and this program was suggested to me by a wedding consultant. I also looked at other courses but your website provided the most in-depth description of the course, and I really felt that I it explained everything that would be covered. It seemed to be the most thorough course available (based on the poor descriptions provided by other courses), and it was offered at a very reasonable price".

Angela den Hoed
Professional Wedding Consultant

 

 
"I was looking at different wedding consultant programs on the internet. I noticed that this program was developed by the international institute of weddings, and I had seen that name frequently on websites that I had visited. I looked at 2 other programs but was impressed by your price and also that it was a home study class where I could work at my own pace".

Karen Sakala
Professional Wedding Consultant

"Before registering for this course, I looked at the programs of 5 other organizations. Superweddings course outline was one of the more detailed and comprehensive of the programs. I felt that it was the best value for my money. I also received recommendations about this course by other wedding consultants I've met up with."

Lisa Stelmack
Professional Wedding Consultant

"I was impressed with the outline of the program and how detailed everything was. I had also looked at one other well known program but was much more impressed with your program. Definitely the depth of information was what made me decide. I printed out all the information for both programs and spent about 2 days comparing. I was so much more impressed with your program. At first I thought theirs would be the best because it cost more, but after reviewing it I feel I have made the best decision!"

Jill Cornelius
Professional Wedding Consultant

"I decided to take this course because the course seemed to be incredibly informative, and professional also it seems to be the only course that offered a recognized qualification in this field"

"In my process of making a career transition to wedding consultant, the factors that persuaded me to choose SuperWeddings.com were the depth of information covered, the one-on-one mentoring, and the price of the program. The program appears to provide information regarding the planning of a wedding, as well as running a business. I believe the business functions of being a wedding consultant are the foundations for success in this career".

Debra Davis
Professional Wedding Consultant

"I have been researching wedding consulting courses for over a year. I first heard about yours about 2 months ago. I did quite a lot of comparing. I compared it to several other well known Wedding Consulting courses. The depth of information covered in the program was probably my biggest consideration factor when looking through the programs. I was very impressed by the course outline of your program. I was glad the price was so much more manageable for me. I also liked the fact that I was able to complete it at my own pace and if I had any questions it was just an email away. I was very impressed when I wrote in with a question to Savannah; she was very prompt in her answer and it helped me convince my 'other half' that it was a good idea".

"Hi Ms. Kevich,

I have just finished reading the first section of the training manual - not once, not twice, but would you believe three times?! There is SO much wonderful information there. I've made so many notes along the way! I have enjoyed the first section very much. The material is so well written and interesting - as a college graduate, I hate to admit that I've generally found educational reading to be boring, but not this time! After having completed the reading for the first section, I have become so 'psyched' about getting my business going. In so little time I feel I have gone from really not having a clue, to really feeling confident that I know what I'm doing now. I'm very much looking forward to embarking on the first assignment - please forward it to me when you have a chance - and I can't wait to continue on to the next section of the course. One last thing - I just have to add that I am SO glad I choose this course for my training. I'll admit I considered other programs, but in the end, it is obvious I made the right choice. I knew that from the moment I cracked open the manual and saw the gold mine of information you have in there. It's like a whole new world has opened up for me, which I really had no idea existed - and I can't wait to be part of it! Thank you so much for this terrific program, and for the time you put in to answer the first couple of questions I already sent you. I appreciate your helpfulness more than I can say. Ms. Kevich, I already have a couple of prospective clients lined up, and I owe it all to this program!".

"I read about this course on the internet. In reading the overview I felt this was the best course for me to take. I did look at a few others, however kept coming back to your site. I am looking forward to beginning my course and learning more about this industry. I am currently the wedding consultant at the church I attend, but my goal is to eventually become a wedding consultant outside of the church".

Amy Francis

"I compared this course to several others before enrolling. Price was a factor for me as well as the content the website showed the program having. I also noticed that there really was no short term time limit. I want to learn as much as I can and go over the material at my own pace to get the most of out it, so time was a factor for me as well. I look forward to working with you! :) Thanks again,

"This course provides some of the most in-depth professional training available in the wedding industry. The home-study was intensive and comprehensive. I would definitely recommend this course. It is unique and well informed. This course has very clear and concise information and the support that is available make it very helpful. I cannot think of areas and topics that were missing from the course. It was just what I was looking for. Very informative, interesting and helpful. The 300+ page training guide is my referral bible&ldots;.I do want to be one of the wedding consultant recognized as highly skilled professionals who offer a very specialized level of expertise. It is the most intensive training programs through home study for wedding consultant that I found. Now that I finished the course I have confidence, knowledge and competence which are evident to my clients.

The course has provided me with the most thorough and practical education possible, in addition to providing ongoing opportunities for professional development and advancement. It offers a highly affordable home-study which provided me with detailed, specific and extremely thorough instructions.

I have finally started my Wedding Consultant Business. I love it.

Thank you SuperWeddings".

"Since both my partner Janice and I work full time at the present, price, flexibility and value were what attracted us to your program. The course appears to be very organized, loaded with information and affordable for our current economic situation. The on-line study also attracted us since time is at a premium for us both and attending day or weekend seminars is rather difficult to arrange at present".

"I was very satisfied with this course. I learned many aspects that I never knew before, and things that I never thought could be done in a different way. To be very honest, the course was full of lots of information and material and it couldn't be better. All I can say is that it was a great experience to be in, especially in a field that I adore.

I learned to be extremely careful with the vendors I use, and with the contracts my clients sign because of the things that we never think of. I used this knowledge when I worked on a wedding in the summer; I would go with the bride and groom when dealing with vendors, and help guide them with the procedures.

I related some areas of the course to that wedding and it made lots of sense. It made me realize how the brides can be emotional to a point that they don't realize what's in their best interest because they are looking for a dream day and this is all that they see in front of their eyes. It's interesting to see these things happen.

I would surely recommend this course to a friend or acquaintance who is interested in becoming a professional wedding consultant, as long as they are serious about it. I say that because from my experience, this course is a serious program of study. You need to be organized and a good time management person to be able to go through the course in a successful way and to comprehend the information. It will give you a clearer vision of the subject matter. Again, it was a great experience.

The course, as I mentioned before, was really full, filled with plenty of information that will help us start and go through all the procedures we need to do. The forms, the lists and the sheets, and all the examples of contracts, etc. are a very big push and a helpful hand for our growth in this field. And with pleasure you may use my feedback in the future in the form of a testimonial.

"Starting out [in determining how to get started as a wedding consultant], I gathered a list of wedding consultants in my area. I then emailed out a letter to every company and asked for any internships/apprentice positions. One consultant from Bellissima Events was kind enough to email me back with information on how she started in the business and what steps she took to get there. She recommended the certification program from SuperWeddings.com and so I explored both SuperWeddings.com as well as the ABC. My final decision to go with this program was based on the testimonials that I found on the website about this certification program. I was impressed.

 I first heard about the program about a month ago. I then took some time to do research about other programs. After looking closely at 3 other, I decided to order your training materials.

The factors in my decision to choose superweddings.com is 1) testimonials and 2) pricing was within range with what I wanted to spend.

"Dear Linda,

Thank you very much for your reply. It is very elaborated and thorough. Appreciate it! Cheers!"

"Dear Linda,

In Australia, to get the required learning [for a career in wedding consulting] all that is available are three year full-time management courses, which give you only limited exposure to event management. I was very disheartened. But then I found SuperWeddings and I knew then that my dreams may finally come true. So here I am. I am encouraged by many of your students' testimonials that I could make this happen for me too, even though it is something very different to what I have ever done. I am delighted to have you as my tutor and mentor and look forward to future our correspondence. I thank you for your vision of helping people world-wide to realize their dreams".

To watch this company come together Linda is so breath-taking that I can't put it into words.

I received your comments back from my assignment two, and I thank you for giving them to me. I'm definitely using those assignments throughout the start of my business because there is so much involved that I'd never remember it all. I also wanted to thank you for responding to all of my e-mails. They have definitely been inspiring and helpful at keeping me going forward with this business. Thanks Linda!"

I thought the price of your program was very reasonable and the program looked very thorough. I look forward to the class, it will definitely be more enjoyable than others I have taken".

Lynette Brown

"At this point in my life it was time I took a direction into where I wanted to go and I decided to take the next step. Being in Australia they do not offer such courses where wedding consultants are concerned. I searched through google.com and came across your site as I also did with other sites. I read your site from top to bottom and found it so personal as if you were only talking to me and the site was just for me. You are a truly special person and your site was fantastic. I have gained a lot of information from your site and that is when I decided to join the program. I also like the part where when we have finished the course we get a certificate which states that we are certified. In my eyes that is a very good step into the right direction and also in your portfolio as not many people are certified it is by experience only. I believe in any direction you take in life that bit of paper will take you a long way in your life.

I looked at a couple of other programs before registering for this one. This site was by far the best I have come across in that it was in depth, the price was great and how much information I got. I also like the fact that it is recognised not just in America but also international which by living in Australia is good for my business"

"I did compare this training program to others before I decided to purchase it. The others were all very expensive with a lot less learning material. My reason for choosing this program above the others was definitely the price and depth of information covered. Even after reading the first session, I'm still amazed at how little I paid for all of that information. Your material does not only tell how to go about getting my business started, but it even offers lots of suggestions, along with examples of how to format a press release, and how to create your tag line. I didn't know what a tag line was until I read it in this course. There is so much more that I could say, but I would not have enough room to write it".

"When I first read about Bridal consulting it immediately struck my interest. I knew I would enjoy doing that for people, plus I could operate my business from home. So, I looked at a number of courses on wedding planning/ bridal planning. I compared what courses and topics were covered and from each as well as the cost. Not only was this course the least expensive of them all, but the greatest thing was your program offered the most learning. Being that I had never planned a wedding before, I needed as much of the specifics as I could get so that is how I came about hearing of Superwedding.com"

"I did a lot of comparison before deciding on your program. I also looked at six other programs and was most impressed with your curriculum -- the amount and depth of the practical information your offer that enables a person to start up their own wedding consultant business as soon as possible after finishing the coursework. I'm also the type who needs to have my coursework in book form. I cannot have all of my reading material on a computer like with some courses -- I am most comfortable holding a book in my hands. I wanted to be able to obtain some form of certification, as I think that it gives one more credibility in a competitive world. These are my main reasons for choosing Super Weddings. The reduced cost in comparison to many others was simply a bonus reason".

I heard of the SuperWeddings.com Certification program from the SuperWeddings website. While searching on Google.com there were always many hits displaying www.superweddings.com

The depth of information covered and the cost of the program was my deciding factor in taking this programme from Superweddings.com. The information covered by the SuperWeddings Certification programme covers a wider area of information, and the options of the installments plans for those who cannot afford the entire cost at the moment was really my deciding factor. Because I inquired about installment plans and saw that it was available I decided to go with SuperWeddings.com because it shows that they really want to do what ever they can to help individuals get into this business. The other courses prices were outrageous and some did not cover a lot of information concerning the various types of weddings. I'm happy to have chosen this course over the others".

"I compared your program with three other leading programs. SuperWeddings.com's price was at least $100 cheaper than any of the others. Additionally, I knew nothing about business and your course was the only one I found with thorough business education along with wedding education. I have begun studying the course and I am enjoying it to the fullest and learning a lot. I am so glad it teaches the business end. It gives me more confidence to begin, since I now know more about getting off and running".

"If feel that this course was very through and it went through all of the steps, from start to finish, in regards to being in the business. I would definitely recommend this course to my friends and whoever else is interested in becoming a wedding consultant. There were no topics it failed to cover. Also, I felt that the staff at Super Weddings was also very friendly and professional/helpful in any questions that I have had in regards to their products/services, and in regards to the course itself".

"I think this course is a wonderful tool for training to become an independent, professional businessperson. It can be accomplished at your own pace, so that you can go through the course as quickly or as leisurely as you prefer. Once the course is completed, you have a base of knowledge which can support you in beginning your business on a small scale, or on a larger scale, depending on your needs and wishes".

"I did compare this course to others, but chose this one definitely because of the depth of info covered. I strictly look for the best, because I want to achieve the best, and I believe I've found it in this course. Thanks for taking the time and effort to know me better. I'm thoroughly excited to start!"

"Thank you very much for your thorough response! You answered all my questions thoughtfully and candidly which is much appreciated in this day and age! As seems to be the case with other potential wedding consultants, choosing a course was a rather arduous process! Since the industry is not regulated it is difficult to know which organization or association will provide the most comprehensive and useful course, and which one of those will stand by their product. I came upon SuperWeddings.com one day as I was searching for wedding consultant courses online. I was impressed by the course outline and was immediately prepared to send in my money. It is incredibly overwhelming to know which course will be worth my investment but instinctively something is telling me that The International Institute of Weddings in association with SuperWeddings.com is the best course that I could spend my much hard earned money on! I am so excited to get started with the course!! Thank you again for taking the time to answer my questions so comprehensively!"

"Hi Linda,

I am honored to have you, the editor in chief of Super Weddings, to be my instructor. Thanks, for your support and being there to answer any questions that I may have. I received my home study course last week and already I am sure it will help a lot. I have been searching for quite a while [for a wedding consulting course], in which I did find a few other home study courses. I had been debating on which course to take for quite a while. I wanted a course that I could get my money's worth from and which would benefit me the most with more information on how to start my home business. I am very anxious and looking forward to completing the home study course and getting started in the wedding consultant business. I am convinced I have chosen the best from the rest - "SuperWeddings"! Thank you for your guidance!"

"Ms. Kevich,

I have completed the first section of the training manual just one week after receiving it. I was reading and taking notes every chance I got. I guess it just goes to show how excited I am about this field. I was thoroughly impressed by the content of the first section especially the business start up and marketing portions. It contained practical, useful knowledge on how to get started which is exactly what I am looking for. I can't believe you even share with us your trade secrets!

When I first heard about this course just 2 1/2 weeks ago, I would definitely have to say that the depth of information as well as the price were the deciding factors in making up my mind to purchase it. I compared your program to several others - I even created a comparison chart to aid in my decision. I was extremely impressed by all the information that was contained in the SuperWeddings website alone even without purchasing the training manual.

Now, I will be waiting in anticipation for my first assignment. I look forward to future communication with you.

Best Regards,

"Ms. Kevich,

  Thank you for taking the time to help me with my situation. I couldn't believe you responded so fast. Your advice helped tremendously and gave me peace of mind. Thank you again,

"I have loved taking part in the course. I was surprised that I completed the sessions so quickly. I couldn't tell you how many hours it took me to complete the Training Guide and the Assignments because it didn't seem like I was working or studying, I enjoyed the content so much that it felt like I was just reading a book. A very thorough and specific book, but fun enough to look forward to reading the following chapters!

I would recommend the course to anyone who has a real aspiration to be a wedding coordinator. I was thrilled at the opportunity to shortcut my way to success, rather than putting my time and money into university courses that offer training in a broad scope and offer me no direct contact with wedding consulting. This course is a good foundation for starting a home based Wedding Coordinating business."

"Prior to purchasing the SuperWeddings Wedding Consulting course, I had pulled one more site off the internet [which offered a wedding consulting course]. I can't remember the name of the company, but it was triple in price and I would have had to go to a seminar. The price of the course and the reputation of SuperWeddings.com were influences to my decision. I had also e-mailed your company a few questions to which I received wonderful thorough answers from Savannah Carrington. This impressed me. She also gave me the name of a reference to call, which I did. The reference was happy with the program, and that pretty much led me to choose SuperWeddings.com!"

"I wish to say a Big Thank you to all of you. I received my home study training manual pack yesterday in very good condition. I am so excited about this. I am ready to begin what has been my dream. Thank you very much!

"I choose this program because I felt the depth of information was beyond the other programs. The price of the program was also excellent. I also like the fact that it was not necessary to purchase a professional membership before taking the course, and that two projects were offered to use the skills learned".

Janelle Williams

"We decided to take your course because the course content seemed much more in depth than others and pertinent to us especially the "running a business" section. One thing I am sure about is that before I actively seek out clients I want the accreditation. I know I wouldn't be comfortable dealing with anyone who has not had extensive training. I look forward to continuing on with the course".

Karyn Bagnall

" I felt no need to compare your program to anyone else's; I was very impressed with the details, it was exactly what I was looking for. The price was good, I liked the fact that I could do it in my spare time, and the level of information is brilliant".

"I just wanted to send a note to let you know that I received my certificate yesterday and am now having it framed. I can't wait to hang it in my office to show my prospective clients. Prior to taking the SuperWeddings Wedding Consulting Course, I had actually taken one of the other more expensive courses. After completing that other course, I still felt entirely unsure of how to begin, and very unprepared to operate as a wedding consultant. I was disappointed and discouraged. About 6 months later, I was still no closer to becoming a wedding consultant, but I met up with a girl who had taken the SuperWeddings course, and she had nothing but praise for it. She told me that after completing the course, she felt entirely prepared, and very confident, and she told me that in her opinion, the course had 'left no stone unturned'. What really impressed me was that she had just recently finished the program, and already had paying clients. She also said Linda Kevich was absolutely wonderful when she had questions, and was very motivating. This convinced me that this course really was different than the one I had taken before, and I decided to sign up. Now, having recently completed the SuperWeddings course, the difference has been like night and day. I have learned so much, and like the person I had spoken to who took this course before me, I now feel I know precisely what to do, and how to do it. I am very excited to report that yesterday I booked my first client - what a thrill! Thank you so much to SuperWeddings, and especially Linda Kevich. Your support, encouragement, and wonderful advice has been invaluable and I am very appreciative for the way you always go the extra mile. I just wish I had found this course, before I had taken the other one - I would have saved a whole lot of money! Thanks again!"

"Dear Linda,

Thank you for spending time writing to me. I would like to inform you that I finished the reading for the first part of the course. It was very interesting, and I found good ideas, which I can use for my business".

"I couldn't believe all the topics covered. It's such a great deal and I love the SuperWeddings web site.

Before registering, I did send away for information for another course for about the same price. It did not have nearly the same amount of information available".

Judith W.

"In comparison with the other course I considered before deciding on this one, I preferred your lower price, the length of time you allowed to complete the course (a year vs. 3 months), and the overall feel of the course and the topics listed for study. Your course seemed more all-inclusive, covering not only the aesthetics but also the unglamorous business aspects which will better prepare me for a serious career"

"One advantage that I will have over my competitors is being educated with this Wedding Consulting/Coordination course to guide me. This course has educated me in unique ways to price my services and given me plenty of ideas to keep the edge on the competitors.

Erika L.

"I have received my manual and I started my studies. I do not work, so I am able to study full time. I'm enjoying it to the fullest and I'm ready to take my exam for the Session One this week... [Before starting the course] I was looking for a wedding consultation course on the internet, as there are none available here in Barbados. I went through a few but SuperWeddings was the most extensive one I saw, and I just fell in love with it and hooked up. It's a very good price for all you can learn. The information is very detailed, easy to follow and understand. Here in Barbados there are only about ten wedding consultants in total for a country of 255,000 population and I feel that through my knowledge attained from this course I can make a worthwhile contribution.

"I heard about the SuperWeddings program after researching several others on the internet. I looked at five other well known programs. Yours seemed by far to be the most thorough, and organized course available. Thank You!"

"In choosing the training program offered by SuperWeddings.com , the depth of information covered was the most important factor, followed by reputation, certification by an authority in the field, support following the course, and the price".

Jacqueline R.

"I feel very satisfied with this wedding consulting course. I have learned more than I thought there was to learn about this business. I absolutely would recommend this course to others that are interested in pursuing the wedding industry... I really enjoyed the reading, it was not at all slow or boring. It really prepared me for a lot of things that I had not even thought of before this course. Like I said, it covered much more than I thought there was to this business".

"I have been studying your course and I really enjoy it. I compared your course to other wedding consulting courses before deciding to purchase it. You were more in-depth with all areas that I was looking for. Plus price was a factor also!".
