Certification, Licensing, and Special Requirements
Certification or Licensing
Certification isn't required to work as a consultant but it can help build business quickly. Brides often contact professional associations directly, and the associations refer the brides to certified consultants in their area. The American Association of Certified Wedding Planners, Association of Bridal Consultants, Association of Certified Professional Wedding Consultants, and Weddings Beautiful Worldwide provide voluntary certification to wedding consultants.
