Wedding Day Assistant Certification

Every smooth wedding day has someone behind the coordinator making sure the reserved signs are out, the wedding party is lined up and the cake knife actually made it to the table. This course teaches you to be that person, and the one coordinators want to book again.

Anyone who wants to work wedding days alongside a lead coordinator

Who it's for

Is this course right for you?

This is a great place to start if you want to work weddings without running the whole day yourself, at least not yet.

  • You're brand new to weddings and want real wedding day experience before you take on clients of your own.
  • You want weekend work that fits around a day job, school or family.
  • You're a coordinator who wants trained help, and you'd like your assistants working from the same playbook you do.

Coming in with no experience I believe it gave me a good perspective on what to expect.

Take care of people

From our students

As someone who knew relatively little about the industry before stepping into this role, I found it helpful for expectation-setting and familiarizing myself with the process.

I liked how real the course felt. It wasn't just a bunch of theory, it actually showed what wedding days are like.
