Start Your Own Wedding Consultant Business 3E

With weddings becoming larger, costlier, and more complex every day, more couples are turning to professional wedding services for help.

That's where you come in. From planning the bride and grooms' big day--whether it's a traditional, specialty or "green" wedding--to selling the dreamy bridal gown and wedding accessories through a virtual or brick-and-mortar retail store, this book provides the advice you need to start one of four types of wedding service businesses that are in demand today: Wedding consulting and specialty wedding consulting for destination (think Hawaii or Europe) and green weddings (for today's eco-conscious couples), retail bridal salon and wedding accessories/gift store, and online pre-owned wedding gown store and online wedding accessories/gift item store.

With the exception of the bridal salon, all these businesses make ideal homebased or part-time ventures, you don't need employees, and startup costs are extremely low. You don't even need any costly special equipment.

All you need is our Wedding Services guide. It tells you everything you need to know about the business end of starting a wedding business--from finding suppliers and customers to marketing and pricing your services.

Wedding businesses of all kinds are more in demand than ever today, thanks to the ever-burgeoning American wedding industry, which topped out at $72 billion in a recent year. For the bride, the wedding day is usually the romantic culmination of a lifelong dream. For the savvy entrepreneur, it's an opportunity to fulfill a dream of another type--the dream of successful business ownership. Order your guide today!
