The U.S. Department of Labor predicts that employment for event planners (a category that includes those who plan weddings and parties) will increase much faster than the average for all careers through 2029. The average price of a wedding continues to rise, and wedding consultants will be in demand to help couples save money. Additionally, couples are increasingly seeking out the services of wedding planners to help make their weddings memorable. Certified consultants with a strong track record of saving clients money and planning successful and unique weddings will have the best job prospects.
More people are celebrating their anniversaries by renewing their vows with large events. Wedding consultants will want to capitalize on this trend, as well as expand into other ceremonies like bar and bat mitzvahs.
