Learning only through experience seems to be the go-to route for wedding planners, but Krisy Thomas says this is harming the entire industry.
Krisy Thomas joins us to talk about education and certification for wedding planners. And it all comes down to this: education can help fast-track your career and shield you from major mistakes.
Krisy is the owner of Southern Sparkle Weddings and COO of Certified Wedding Planner Society. Our interview with her is so fantastic, because we got to pick her brain as both a wedding educator and a successful wedding planner.
Here are some great conversations you can look forward to this week:
- Eddie and Krisy theorize why education is so undervalued among wedding planners, and how it’s affecting the industry as a whole.
- Krisy reflects on her 13+ year career as a wedding planner, including how she overcame big obstacles and learned to celebrate her big wins.
- Learn how to approach wedding coordination with kindness (while still running things efficiently and confidently!).
- Krisy shares roadblocks that can get in the way of growing a wedding planning business.
- And… hear Krisy’s #1 advice for wedding pros!
