The Certification Course
Comments From Members

"Unequivocally I was impressed with the Weddings Beautiful Home Study Course. As a ten year veteran of social graces and etiquette at the time I began my Home Study Course I was aware of certain aspects of wedding directing and consulting, but when I began the course I became highly cognizant of some powerful information that would not only be beneficial to my business but imperative to its success. I'm grateful to Weddings Beautiful and the hard work it has initiated to provide small businesses like mine with the correct tools to ensure its success when those tools are implemented.

Further, I must say that I was very pleased with how easy it was to reach someone at Weddings Beautiful when it was necessary to do so. All my calls were promptly answered and e-mails replied to in a timely manner.

Thank you for offering a program that so aptly enables the fulfillment of a personal dream. "

Kathleen Dryden, CWS, Weddings ProPassione, Jackson, WY


"The time goes by quickly. We are now looking at our 2008 bookings.

What Weddings Beautiful gave me is the knowledge to succeed in a very competitive and rewarding career. Each of the 18 assignments plays a key role in our career field. I received my Certificate in 1999 and, with the continued support, I keep in touch with the trends that are continuously changing. I want to thank all the Staff at Weddings Beautiful and National Bridal Service for the support and continued growth we have had together over the years! I look forward to the years to come."

"I'm having a great time studying with Weddings Beautiful Worldwide.
I've learned a lot so far, not only about weddings, but I've also learned about how to make myself a better person."

Miranda Quinones, Virginia Beach, VA


"I think the Certification Course is great.It is detailed and allows one to gain tremendous knowledge regarding wedding planning. There were even some areas that I had never considered when working with a couple, that has helped in selling my services as a Wedding Planner. Whenever I've had a question, I can call, email or fax, and get a quick response, which is good to know. I am still in the process of completing my course, but it has been very informative and challenging. When I receive my certification, I will feel as though I have taken a specialized course in preparing me to do a better and more professional job as a Planner."

Sharon Lyons. Antondale, NY


"I think that the courses and subjects covered are very intense and I feel very knowledgeable after I read a lesson. I personally see myself as a go-getter and like the freedom to take the courses at my convenience."

Priscilla Watkins, Dream Catcher Weddings & Events, Ltd., Richmond, VA


"How many times have you volunteered to help a friend with decorations or table settings, taken the initiative to organize the office holiday party or picnic, or flipped through a wedding magazine in the check out line, even though you didn't know anyone who was getting married any time soon? That was me. For years I sat on my talents, keeping my Fine Art Degree and years of marketing, tourism, and meeting planning experience hidden from the world. Weddings Beautiful Worldwide has given me clear, creative, and compelling information which is helping me turn my passions into a career and letting my gifts shine! The Home Study Course has enabled me to focus my creative spark to help others realize their wedding vision.

Sincerest regards,"

Janel B. Keen, Vivid Entertaining - The Art of Creative Celebrations, Chesapeake, VA


"I just recently received my Certification through Weddings Beautiful and I could not be happier. The positive feedback and quick responses were so helpful. The knowledge I learned from your study courses helped me plan my wedding as well as getting my business off to a great start. I have already had multiple brides-to-be come to me for help. The base knowledge the course gave me has allowed me to answer these questions and know where to look if I don't know the answer right off hand. I have been able to get my business off to a great start and I know that Weddings Beautiful will be there to support me throughout my journey. I have renewed my subscription to Weddings Beautiful in order to continue to have their support and advice. I look forward to attending some conferences soon. The peace of mind that having someone who knows the business on your side is wonderful. Thank you Weddings Beautiful Worldwide and Nancy, you were a wonderful guide through my course."

Jennifer Noble, CWS, Fisherville, VA


"The Weddings Beautiful Home Study Course is great, as it prepared me for starting my own wedding business eight years ago. I can rely on the organization when I have questions that I may not know the answers to. Knowing they are only a phone call away gives me peace of mind. I enjoy reading the newsletters that are part of my membership as they keep me up to date on the latest trends and happenings in the wedding industry. Joining this organization and becoming certified has set me apart from other wedding planners in my area and keeps me on top of my game. I love what I do and am happy I found Weddings Beautiful Worldwide when I was starting my wedding planning career."

Tracie Morris, CWS, "You're the Bride", Redford, MI


"I think aggressive marketing is a wonderful idea. The Home Study Course was great. I felt it was extremely insightful and informative. I don't think I could have learned more anywhere else. The staff at Weddings Beautiful has been more than helpful when I have questions or concerns about an upcoming event or a concern with my business. Keep up the great work!"

"I would like to express that I have been extremely happy and satisfied with the home study course. I have learned a lot from each assignment that I have taken. I have not only learned about the wedding industry, but also very useful assignments to help yourself in every day life. The assignments go over everything you need to know to become a successful wedding coordinator and how to be a professional. Your grades are given to you in a very efficient manner.

Overall I am very pleased with Weddings Beautiful. I only have two assignments remaining to get my certification.

Thank you."
