How much experience do i need before attending the planner life Academy?
Here’s one of the best things about the Planner Life Academy—the curriculum was created to help planners at all stages of their careers. It is so hard to get a job in the wedding industry without any experience or education, so our workshops give you the foundation you need. Aspiring planners will be able to add Academy graduate to their resume and give them the edge to standout from other applicants!
I already am a wedding planner, will i learn anything?
Have you ever heard the saying, “You don't know what you don't know?” We have had attendees with zero experience, a handful of weddings, and some who have been a planner for 1-8 years. All levels have shared they could not believe how much they learned! The combined knowledge of the instructors with 25+ years and the insight from the speakers and sponsors is a level of insight and education you could not possible get on you own.
What are the differences between the in person and virtual workshops?
When attending the in-person workshops or virtual workshops you will learn much of the same content. The biggest differences come down to the experience of real time instruction vs learning on your own terms.
Our in-person workshops offer the opportunity to spend two or three full days with us! Allowing you to network with the industry’s top creatives, get one-on one time with the instructors and meet like-minded people to build your community and have those real-time discussions with. Making connections like this can be invaluable to elevating your career or business.
Virtual workshops have the benefit of being able to learn when it is convenient for you. Stream the videos and learn anywhere, anytime. You will have access to the content for 6 months, making it easy to learn at your own pace and go back to rewatch any topic you want.
I do not live or work in california, will what you teach be applicable to my market?
The instructors behind the Planner Life Academy have also worked in Southern & Northern California, Hawaii, Arizona, Colorado, South Carolina, New York, Hungary, Italy, Australia and Mexico. We bring a tried and true process and perspective that can be applied to any wedding market.
We have had attendees from all over the country and internationally, they have all raved about gaining a more well rounded perspective of planning, much more in depth than they could have learned from a local workshop.
What is the planner life community
The Planner Life Community is our why. Over the years, an amazing community of planners has come together and it is an honor for us to be what connects them. When you attend Academy, you join that community and get access to our exclusive Planner Life Community Facebook group where you can ask questions, learn tips, talk with other like minded pros and the Planner Life Academy team.
do you receive the same templates and tools with the virtual workshop?
Yes, you do! Our workshops, both in person or virtual come with templates and handout including : 60 Day Checklist, Timeline Templates, Sales Call Templates, and SO much more!
I am interested in other areas of the wedding industry, maybe not a planner. Will the workshop still be worth it for me?
100%! You will learn from photographers, catering sales managers, catering owners, cinematographers, floral designers and much more. At each workshop, speakers vary and we are so proud to bring you the best of the best in the industry! You will have gained so much insight into weddings, your education will make you a huge value to another company in the industry or help build your foundation for your own business.
Do you offer any discounts?
