Life of a wedding planner: Continuing Education
While a large part of my job involves interacting with brides, I also invest time in continuing my education. Whether through retreats, workshops. classes or networking meetings, I am always working to improve.
I thought I would share a glimpse of some of my recent activities. I frequently attend networking meetings and events to meet new vendors, learn about new venues and locations as well as new wedding information.
Last fall I joined the Nashville Wedding Planners Group for a weekend retreat with celebrity planner Tara Guerard. She flew from Charleston to Nashville to talk personally with the planners about managing weddings and running our businesses.
Tara took time to take photos with us....
That is over 40 hours of continuing education in order to make me a smarter business owner and better event planner.

Earlier this month, I was at a week-long convention at Opryland with The Special Event Show, a conference for event professionals. This annual event offers classes and workshops as well as an exhibit hall and galleries filled with new trends and designs. I took so many notes and photos to improve my business, execute events and make planning easier. I can't wait to share them all with you.
Having a little fun in the exhibit hall.
