Pros and Cons

Pros

Access to Food and Travel

Wedding Planners get to try the best food when helping couples compare caterers and cake makers. Wedding Planners with wealthy clients may also get to travel for overseas weddings.

Limited Educational Requirements

Wedding Planners do not need a specific degree or license, limiting the barriers for those that want to enter this profession. Individuals who lack the resources to attend college may find a stable career in wedding planning.

Gratifying Work

Wedding Planners often enter this field due to their love of planning and helping people. Getting to achieve these goals makes wedding planning a gratifying job.

Attending Weddings and Receptions

Wedding Planners do not partake in the festivities of the wedding but getting to spend time at ceremonies and receptions can be a fun work environment.

Cons

Dealing with Conflict

Wedding Planners occasionally need to resolve conflicts and incidents. For example, the bride may change her mind or argue about a detail of the wedding at the last minute. The Wedding Planner then needs to calm the situation and find a solution. They also need to deal with unexpected issues, such as the DJ running late or the caterer bringing the wrong food.

Handling the Stress of a Wedding

Emotions often run high during a wedding. While Wedding Planners attempt to shoulder the burden of worrying about everything running smoothly, brides may still become anxious. The demands of the job and dealing with emotional clients can be stressful.
