What should i major and minor in to become a wedding planner?

Answer 1

Although you do not need a degree(only certified and you can get certified thru continuing education programs alot of colleges offer), these choices can be helpful if you do decide to pursue wedding planning as a career.

Major: Business or Marketing

Minor: Desktop Publishing/Digital Imaging- to become computer saavy in a design sort of aspect

Answer 2

You need a degree for that?

Answer 3

WPI is a great on line school, look up the wedding planning institute. To become a wedding planner you really should be certified and this school takes you through all the steps. If you are going to a regular college you should major in business management and/or hospitality. Good Luck!!

Answer 4

You want to go to a school that has an event planning major, it might be a trade school.  Look for ones that have hotel/restaurant management and that may be a good place to start looking.  

Answer 5

Many schools offer majors in "hospitality management" or "hotel and restaurant management". Some of these are major universities such as Michigan State, Cornell, and the University of Illinois (and many many more). Some are specialty schools. And some are "on-line." Do a Google search on those terms and see what you like.

Planning events -- conventions, meetings, shows and the accommodations and hosting of meals, recreation, transportation, etc. -- is demanding of financial and other skills (including human relations and communications generally) and is worthy of special study in a good program.

Answer 6

Might I suggest abnormal psychology as a major...should help you deal with the brides.
