Plan and Coordinate Weddings at the Highest Level!

This certification fills gaps—and gives you the credential that helps you improve everything you do.

New to the industry? Start the way seasoned pros wish they had—trained, credentialed, and confident from day one.

Already established? This is how you stay that way.
If you've built your reputation wedding by wedding, over years, then you know that in today's digital age, anyone can build a beautiful website and look identical to you online. Couples can't tell the difference—and some planners are counting on that. Certification is the one thing that can't be copied, borrowed, or exaggerated. It's independently verified. It's yours. And for planners/coordinators with your depth of experience, most of this curriculum will confirm what you already know—while the rest fills gaps you didn't know were there. That's not remedial. That's what mastery looks like in every credentialed profession: doctors, attorneys, and financial advisors never stop certifying. Neither do the best planners/coordinators.

IT'S TIME TO TAKE YOUR BUSINESS TO THE NEXT LEVEL

1. Showcase your expertise with our industry-recognized certification, helping you attract higher-paying clients who value professional credentials and are willing to invest in quality service.

2. Fast-track your learning curve through weekly workshops, connecting you with successful award-winning, Master Certified Wedding Planners who are there to guide you through challenges and share proven strategies.

3. Command premium pricing for your services by leveraging our comprehensive business training, which teaches you how to position yourself as an elite service provider and communicate your value effectively.

4. Increase your booking rate by displaying your CWP certification badge on your website and all of your marketing materials, showing engaged couples that they should hire you, a certified wedding planner.

5. Master the art of upscale wedding planning through specialized training modules, enabling you to confidently serve your ideal clients and handle all budgets.

6. Join a supportive community of fellow professionals who understand your challenges and celebrate your successes, making your entrepreneurial journey less lonely and more rewarding.

Due to busy schedules we give you an extended period of time to complete this certification. Even though most people typically complete the programs well within timeframe, we give you additional time as a buffer:

Master: you have a total of 5 months (150 days) to complete it. (average time planners complete it is 120 days)

This certification program is presented in such a way that you can hear your award-winning instructor(s) speaking over the slideshow presentation. Each segment is in video/slideshow format. You are able to pause and resume in order to take notes at any time. If you have to step away, the program will remember precisely where you left off.

Once you have completed the Wedding Planner Certification Program, you will automatically receive the Executive-level membership.
