WII 166 – Krisy Thomas on Why Experience Isn’t Enough for Wedding Planners

When you first started as a wedding planner, what advice did you get from others in the industry? Did they tell you to go out and get experience?  For wedding planners, learning only through experience seems to be the go-to route, but it could be harming your business and the industry as a whole.  Today on Wedding Industry Insider Podcast, we’re highlighting a better way to level up your career, no matter how much experience you have.  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!
