This government website will give you all the info on any career path..

You do not need any degree for a wedding planner, but you will most likely be doing all sorts of events and not just weddings (to keep money coming in)

Answer 2

Depending where you live there may be licensing you may need.  You can check with your local state licensing board.

Experience in sales, customer service, and party planning is a major must.  Relationships with local vendors and a knowledge of local services and venues.  

Go to a few local bridal shows and talk to the planners there!  

Answer 3

i've actually been thinking about doing this to. Just look up some local colleges and most school provide a course called Event Planning which helps you run your own business. You can also look online for a correspondence course that you can do from home and get fully qualitfied. You don't even need to take a course but it's good to so you are provided with all the info on how to be successful!! :) good luck!! in the mean time, maybe work part time at a hotel in the event planning department to get some experience!!
