You\u2019re already familiar with the industry if you have a certification. There are many planners out there in search of excitement. So how do you go about setting yourself apart? We recommend offering a few different services.  <\/p>\n<p>Not every event planner focuses on more than one <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2016\/10\/5-niche-event-planning-businesses-offbeat-planner\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">niche<\/a>. It\u2019s more common for planners to focus on one particular industry. Therefore, with a few specializations under your belt, you\u2019ll be much more valuable to clients. You\u2019ll also stand out from your competition!<\/p>\n<p>For example, clients don\u2019t always know the difference between planning a destination wedding and planning a local wedding. You can use this opportunity to market your skills. This is assuming you\u2019re certified in both destination wedding planning and regular wedding planning. But why stop there? Adding other services such as luxury wedding planning will set you apart even more. You can expand your audience and boost your income! <\/p>\n<p>Now let\u2019s dive into the specializations\u2026<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Destination_wedding_planning\"><\/span>Destination wedding planning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/destination1.jpg\" alt=\"floral covered archway at destination wedding\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13634\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/destination1.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/destination1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Over the past decade, destination wedding planning has seriously taken off. No pun intended! According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theknot.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Knot<\/a>, about one fourth of weddings take place in an exotic location. This is great news for aspiring wedding planners and current planners who want to expand their services. <\/p>\n<p>If you have a wedding planning certification, you\u2019ve already jumped the first hurdle. You\u2019ve learned how to plan weddings and have completed assignments based on real life situations. But you\u2019ll need another certification if you want to branch out. A destination wedding planning course is made for planners who already know industry basics. This means that the course material will dive right into what you need to know to specialize. Consulting with clients and booking travel arrangements are high on the list. Also, a wedding in another location is very different than one at home! The guest list will be smaller and the celebration will likely last a few days. Don\u2019t worry, you\u2019ll learn all of this in your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/online-event-courses\/destination-wedding-planning-specialization\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">destination wedding planning course<\/a>! <\/p>\n<p>So why you should spend the time getting another certification when you already have one? This is a very competitive industry. Destination wedding planning is a niche specialization. With a few services in your repertoire, you can pick and choose which events you want to work on. Think of the diversity and excitement this will bring to your career! You\u2019ll be fully qualified to plan traditional weddings in a couple\u2019s hometown\u2014an already valuable skill. Add destination wedding planning into the mix, and you\u2019ll really open up your market. <\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Luxury_wedding_planning\"><\/span>Luxury wedding planning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/dramaticdestinationbride.jpg\" alt=\"bride at wedding in greece\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13643\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/dramaticdestinationbride.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/dramaticdestinationbride-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re focused on becoming a better wedding planner, you have options. One of the most popular paths for planners looking to expand their services is luxury wedding planning. You\u2019ll work with bigger budgets and more demanding clients in this field. This is a huge draw for wedding planners who want to grow their careers. Besides this, you\u2019ll also have the opportunity to improve your portfolio and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/2016\/03\/attracting-luxury-wedding-clients\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">grow your list of clients<\/a>. It\u2019s a wonderful choice for wedding planners who want to add to their list of services. Not to mention boosting their salary in the process.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to luxury wedding planning, you\u2019ll take your services from regular to high-end. These are wealthy clients, so your income will increase. If this is a priority for your career, then luxury wedding planning is certainly worth the pursuit. Word of mouth is also paramount in this branch of the industry.  Wealthy clients know how to network! It\u2019s so important to build a good rapport with every client you meet and maintain your relationships between contracts. Referrals to other high-end clients are what will help your career take off. Especially if you want to branch out into luxury wedding planning!<\/p>\n<p>As with destination wedding planning, you can be picky about which events you plan. This is the freedom that achieving more certifications will give you. Focus primarily on luxury weddings, or focus on regular weddings but market your expertise as a luxury wedding planner. The more services you can provide, the more valuable you\u2019ll be!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/luxurytables.jpg\" alt=\"luxury wedding ceremony\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13646\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/luxurytables.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/luxurytables-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"So_whats_better\"><\/span>So what\u2019s better?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>With destination wedding planning and luxury wedding planning as options, it\u2019s tricky to decide on which is better.

You could become certified in both of these branches and make yourself extremely valuable to clients.
