 An All-In-One Solution June 16, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book has absolutely everything you need to get started in the wedding consultant & planning field. I absolutely loved how interactive it was! With charts, quizzes, and sample forms this book helped me get a better picture of what was involved. It covered everything from choosing the company name and developing a business plan to putting together my first events!
Best of all, it was easy to read - just like talking to a friend who had already been through this process and was now guiding me! Everything was laid out in a conversational style with plenty of samples and case studies to help me really understand the information.
Peragine has such great tips for starting a business, I would definitely recommend his book to anyone who was interested in starting their own service industry business, even if it wasn't wedding related!
Great How to Book June 9, 2008

I would rate How to Open and Operate a Financially Successful Wedding Consultant and Planning Business a five. It was extremely encouraging to people who are interested in getting into the business of wedding planning. However, it also asked readers to be realistic about their expectations for the business. The book gave plenty of tips for getting started and gave web sites to visit for more networking information and references. The financial sections were a great eyeopener and greatly needed. Also, the little extra tidbits of information and tips on things like having a sense of humor with the process and handling difficult brides are very useful. These extras could be referred to by anyone whether they are just starting out or having been in business for a couple years.

In this well-organized and well-researched book, Mr. Peragine lays the groundwork for anyone thinking of becoming a wedding planner. It is a comprehensive and insightful guide that gives practical hints on how to start the business. The writing is clear, and he covers all bases beginning with the personality required to become a wedding planner as well as how to actually run the business. He provides some tricks of the trade including how to obtain start up capital if you have bad credit.
He even provides worksheets, sample press releases and web sites to get the beginner started. My only criticism of the book is that on some topics such as what it takes to become a wedding planner, he gets repetitious. In addition, some humorous examples of wedding plans gone awry might have made it more entertaining. Otherwise, it is a must read for any wedding-planner- to-be.
