But, you will come to realize just how much it pays off in the long-run. This is true in more ways than you think.<\/p>\n<p>Obvious savings stem from not needing to hire a wedding planner. The cost of a wedding planner can vary greatly depending on what you\u2019re looking for. Full end-to-end service costs can range from $5,000 to $10,000, while a day-of coordinator or consultant can cost up to $200 per hour. You may be charged a percentage of your total wedding budget, ranging between 10%-20%. This means that if the budget increases so will the planner fee. Needless to say, hiring a wedding planner can be expensive! Especially when you can earn your own wedding planning certificate for as little as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/tuition\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">$81 a month!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve decided that you\u2019re going to plan your own wedding, then you probably don\u2019t consider this a saved cost. However, there are other ways a wedding planning education can save you money! For one, a wedding usually involves renting and buying a large variety of goods and services. Knowing the \u2018reasonable\u2019 price point for each factor is not easy! <\/p>\n<p>A wedding planning course will educate you on how much each good or service should cost, so you don\u2019t have to spend time researching later. It will also keep you from overpaying. Plus, as a certified professional, you may also be able to take advantage of business-to-business discounts offered by some vendors! <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_794298901-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_794298901-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14013\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_794298901-1.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_794298901-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Time\"><\/span>The Time<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Taking a course in event or wedding planning may seem like a large time commitment. However, if you\u2019ve decided to be your own wedding planner, then becoming educated will likely save you more time than it costs! <\/p>\n<p>Weddings are more complicated than you may think. Venue, food, music, d\u00e9cor, invitations, entertainment, and dress attire \u2013 the list goes on! While it\u2019s true that the internet can teach you everything you need to know about anything you need to know, research takes time! Especially when there are this many things to look into!<\/p>\n<p>Plus, the internet is crowded with information. Determining what\u2019s valuable and what isn\u2019t can be hard. By enrolling at an event planning school, you\u2019ll be given all the information you need to know how to deal with vendors and coordinate the big day. All the info is legit so you can get down to business right away!<\/p>\n<p>If you already have a full-time job and decided to take on planning your wedding as a side project, then you\u2019re probably not convinced. Still wondering how an event planning course can fit into your busy schedule? The internet is a powerful tool. There are many quality online event planning schools designed to meet the needs of those leading busy lives. You can learn at your own pace! <\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll get access to professional event planners that mark your assignments and provide you with feedback. If you\u2019re in desperate need of advice, an online school will make sure there\u2019s a professional at your fingertips!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_729184957-1-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_729184957-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14018\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_729184957-1-1.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_729184957-1-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Budget\"><\/span>The Budget<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve heard plenty of horror stories about wedding expenses.  Staying on budget is a big concern for most brides. Planning your own wedding is only the first step to cutting costs! If you\u2019ve never planned a large event before, then costs can easily get out of control. Even if you\u2019re the one planning!<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that some event planning schools include business materials in their course content. While these units are designed for students wanting to start their own business, the lessons are valuable when it comes to budgeting. You\u2019ll learn how to create a realistic budget for your desired wedding, and how to stick to it! You\u2019ll also learn where you should be spending more and where you can cut back.<\/p>\n<p>The decision to plan your own wedding means that you have complete control over the budget. There won\u2019t be any costs. And you won\u2019t be pressured to up the budget by a pushy wedding planner. Everything is in your control, so you decide where to spend big and what just isn\u2019t worth it! <\/p>\n<p>While this sounds ideal, we\u2019re warning you that it may not be as simple as you think. When it comes to money, there\u2019s no joking around. Our advice: get educated!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_458787604.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.qceventplanning.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_458787604.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14020\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_458787604.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qceventplanning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/shutterstock_458787604-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Details\"><\/span>The Details <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Becoming your own wedding planner means you also have complete control over every detail of your big day! While many decide to plan their own wedding as a way to save, others take up the responsibility because of the desire to have the final decision on every aspect. After all, nobody understands your vision like you do! <\/p>\n<p>While it\u2019s true that you\u2019ll have complete control, it can be hard to find vendors that offer exactly what you\u2019re looking for. And at the price, you\u2019re looking for! Enrolling in an event planning school is a great way to network. Most schools have some sort of online community you can take advantage of when searching for products and services. You\u2019ll also be able to access a community of event planners that can help in coming up with unique and beautiful wedding ideas!
