As a college student, I changed my major a few times in the first two years because I wasn't completely sure what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I finally decided I was going to be a teacher by the end of the second year. Before I started classes that fall, one of my best friends inspired me to look into something that I was naturally good at outside of the classroom. I did a little bit of research for event coordinating and started to specifically look at weddings simply becuase I LOVE weddings.
While doing a little bit of research, I came across Mrs. Melissa Distefano from Masterpiece Weddings and I fell in love (to say the least). Masterpiece Weddings offered a certification class for wedding planning and I thought that it would be a great way to start of this new adventure that I was so excited about! I walked away from her class so full of information that I wasn't completely sure what to do with myself, haha!
As part of the certification class, it is required that you intern with vendor(s) to see the different aspects of a wedding and not just from the wedding coordinator's point of view. Personally, I completely agree with this requirement. The more you understand who you are working with, then the easier it is to work with them.
While doing my internships, I continued to get me bachelor's degree in science with a focus on management and marketing. I am now confident in the tools that I have learned through my education, internships, and certification to be able to become the best coordinator that I can possibly be. The most wonderful part about this is that I love what I do! I love what I do so much, I forget that it is work!!
Melissa has a class coming up in late April for those who are interested. She is an A-mazing wedding coordinator and one of the best in the industry to learn from. She is also an incredibly inspiring mentor. If you are in the least bit interested in taking wedding coordinating seriously as a career then I suggest you look into her classes. It will give you insight to everything you could possibly want to know and so much more! :)
