Are you able to recommend any good books to read?

Question

In regards to becoming a wedding planner/consultant?

Or perhaps a wedding coordinator anything along the lines about going into the field of helping people with their "Beautiful Day". Even how much they make.

Who are they by and the titles of them. Thanks , Dee

Answer 2

I would recommend FabJob Guide to becoming a Wedding Planner by Catherine Goulet.  I read the reviews for it on Amazon.com, and it looks really helpful.

Here's a link to this book: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1894638379/ref=...

Also, if you're feeling particularly ambitious, here's a book on how to open your own Wedding Consultant/Planning business: http://www.amazon.com/Financially-Succes...

Here is a book entitled  The Knot Guide to Wedding Vows and Traditions: Readings, Rituals, Music, Dances, and Toasts, and it is written by Carley Roney.  I thought this might be useful as things such as rituals probably wouldn't be covered in the basic "How to become a wedding planner" book.  Anyways, here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Knot-Guide-Wedding...

This might be useful as well; it's a book filled with unique wedding ideas: http://www.amazon.com/Signature-Weddings...

If these Amazon books seem a bit too pricey, I would recommend buying them secondhand from Half.com.  I looked up the first book, and it's around $10.00 cheaper than the Amazon version.  Here's a link: http://product.half.ebay.com/FabJob-Guid...
