How does one become a freelance wedding planner?
A friend of mine is becoming a wedding planner right now — she’s had her first few clients and it seems to be going well. She started out with her own wedding, and helped a couple of friends with theirs, which got her some testimonials for her Web site. She charges a flat fee, which varies depending on how much work she’s asked to do: one fee for the entire thing, a smaller fee for just ‘day of the wedding’ co-ordination. (I know, that doesn’t sound like a flat fee. But what I mean is that she doesn’t charge an hourly rate.
