Wedding planning course

I think it is one of the most rewarding jobs that there is. Being a wedding planner... being able to see the joy on the face of the bride when she walks down the isle.... being the person that will help make her dreams come true for her wedding day!

Just think about it - most girls will dream their whole life about their wedding day. They will first start to play weddings with their friends, when they are older - they will start dreaming about prince charming and the beautiful wedding dress that goes with that.

That’s not all... add to that the fact that you will be the person that will need to organize the day to the most final details - from the cake, the dress, the honeymoon, the reception to name a few. Think about all the human emotions that flow at a wedding. Mother in law and the bride, mother in law with the bride’s mom - I can not count how many times me or my staff had to help make peace between two warring factions! But it is all in a days work.

If you think a wedding planner is just sitting behind her computer and organizing the wedding - think again! You will have to know about the latest trends in the wedding industry, you will have to be able to advise the client what is the best way to go about with their budget and you will have to know how to make the best with the money that the bride have available for her dream day!

I always say that it is not difficult to make a dream come true with a budget of R200 000.00. What makes you a GREAT wedding planner is if you can take a small budget of a bride and groom and STILL make their wedding day a huge success!

Come and learn the tricks of the trade!

Draping course - Graduation in Kenya

 

 What a privilege it was to be part of the yearly Graduation ceremony of Divine Schools Africa. Not only was it held at the prestigious Panari Hotel in Nairobi but the guest list was absolutely impressive.

 That evening we rubbed shoulders with Mrs Kenya, the owner of the Mrs Kenya competition Terry Mungai, Esther Passaris of Adopt a Light, Treasurer of the American women association Mrs Trudy Hall Mugo and many more.

The evening started of with ushers bringing in the 200 students. Sue introduces the sponsors of the evening - Mrs Catherine Matsitsa(Samantha Bridal), Mr Mathew Gathua (Valentine Cake House), Mrs Terry Mungai (Ashleys Kenya), and Mr Stephen Maina (Kenya Weddings).

The best student of the year was Pascalia Maingi of Mashariki Consultancy. The students got certificates for Draping, Flower arranging, Event Management and Wedding Planning.

After the handing out of the certificates it was time for a little bit of fun. The excellent MC - Mr Alexander (Ole Sankale) had the guest dancing and laughing with his jokes. We had the privilege to cut the large cake that was given to Divine schools.

Then the fun of the evening started. We had a wonderful networking dinner at the Panari filled with entertainment, good food and new friends. An awesome graduation tradition that we can bring to SA. Watch this space….
