Please Help

Oh yah, if you`re 23, you are way too old to learn how to become a wedding planner. Why not consider becoming a doctor cause it takes 8 years and you`ll only be 31upon graduation. Joking aside, at your age, you can be ANYTHING you want...the only thing is don`t wait til next year to do this, cause you`ll be too old by then for sure. C.

Chantal,
You are definitely not too old!!
I am a wedding Consultant/Coordinator in Arkansas.
There is no experience like hands-on experience; try to get a part-time job in a retail wedding shop-you will learn a lot about the business!
Also, look for a reputable wedding planner in your area and ask if you can do an apprenticeship with him/her; this is worth the time and effort!!
You can take courses online or through the mail that are about $500-900 (US dollars), which will teach you everything from styles of dress necklines to origins of wedding traditions. These are great for the beginner.
There are also lots of great books at the stores on planning weddings, so you might pick up some of these too.
Hope this helps!
