prompt and reliable seller and this book is the most informative one I've ever found about the business of wedding planning.
 Not much learned...Dec 28, 2008
The bad editing really took away from what this book had to offer, it was really distracting! If you've read a book on event planning or wedding planning already, you will not take much more away from this one. If you haven't read a book on this topic, it's got a lot of information and a lot of useful resources and links you might not have thought of without having read it. However, I would still recommend the first book I read, Start and Run an Event Planning Business by Cindy Lemaire and Mardi Foster-Walker. This book is geared to Canada and the US alike, and includes a CD Rom. Hope this helps.

This book is a must for anyone thinking of moving into any phase of wedding planning. Many different aspects of wedding planning are covered in detail. I had to go back and reread some chapters several times to glean all the information offered. Definitely worth the money if you are serious about wedding planning.

Excellent Outline, Poor Content- Not Worth $100+Oct 17, 2007
This book is an excellent blueprint for those starting their own wedding planning business; following the end of chapter assignments alone will help you do everything from write your business plan to set up your pricing structure and create brochures in a managable, logical way. However, the bulk of the information provided is perfunctory at best and the fact that it is self published shows in the amature page layout and reliance on reprinted articles that offten feel like advertisments for the articles's author or his/her product. I'm glad I bought How To Start A Wedding Planning Business (HTSAWPB) because, as I stated, the end of chapter assignments are very usefull and it does give a good overview of everything involved. However, this is simply not a stand alone book. I also bought Start Your Own Event Planning Business: Your Step-by-Step Guide to Success and it is MUCH more informative with better, more fact based content and it complemented HTSAWPB well.
The Bottom Line: Go ahead and buy it if you can get a used copy (It's NOT worth $100+, I paid $50 and still overpaid), but don't make it the only book in your library on the subject

Excellent!Jan 03, 2007
I strongly encourage anyone who is entertaining the idea of becoming a Bridal Consultant/Wedding Planner to read this book. It is very informative and leaves no stone unturned.
