Scribe Studio Announcement

Mar 9, 2009 Wedding Planning Institute

We have recently learned that due to their own economic realities, Distance Learning, Inc., the owner and operator of Scribe Studio, will be closing their site on May 1, 2009. This will not affect Lovegevity’s Wedding Planning Institute, our Certified Wedding Planner students, or our other partners except to expedite a change that was already in the works prior to this announcement.

We have utilized the Scribe Studio online classroom environment for our students’ distance learning needs for the past several years, but due to the expansion of our own business, have been in negotiations with a replacement service that will better serve the needs of our students, graduates, and other partners.

Scribe Studio

The new online classroom provider will allow our students, graduates, and instructors to communicate, share, and participate in each others’ successful wedding planning businesses as well as have continued access to curriculum resources and continuing education courses.

As the transition date approaches, we will continue to communicate the process and details to you through email, newsletters, our blog, and our websites. Our goal is to make the transition seamless and simple for our students and other partners.

I have loved every minute of and have received a wealth of information from this course. I would definitely highly recommend it to everyone!

    I am taking a certification class from LWPI at Foothill College, CA. I like my teacher Janet, and enjoy the class very much. Everyone in class is full of his own characteristic. I like the homework, all the objectives are very practical, It will be very helpful when I start my business. Visiting the vendors is the fun part of the class. Wedding industry is a teamwork industry; a wedding won’t be successful without the cooperation of every vendors.

    I too have enjoyed this process from start to finish. I enjoyed the excercises and classes. I was skeptical about online only so I loved the classes and online combinaation. I have learned more than I ever expected.

    I have enjoyed taking this course. From doing the objectives they have made me thought about really getting my business started. Now that I have all the tools necessary, it may now happen sooner than later. The classroom experience has been really good, especially since my teacher, Elaine, has been in the wedding planning business for so many years of experience. I will definitely take the advice she has given me and use it to the fullest.

    Thanks so much Carrie-Ann. It’s truly an honor to continue as a Wedding Planning Institute Course Instructor. As we approach the end of our semester together, I wish you all the best with your new endeavors. Looking forward to Preston Bailey’s speaking engagement tomorrow. What a way to end the semester!!

  16. Zibo Jiang Says:

    I liked the wedding planning course because it teaches the general principles of starting business while detailing the designing and managerial aspect of the wedding industry. Chezelle Rodriguez has been a great instructor who shares experience and oppurtunity.

  17. Heidi Riley Says:

    I agree with Zibo. The course really does incorporate all the business aspects of starting a wedding planning business. Very comprehensive. Also, our instructor Chezelle, was fabulous. The class was not only informative, but she made it fun and very interesting. Sharing her experiences with us made it that much more well worth it. She was very supportive and encouraged us to think outside the box.

  18. Sarrah Young Says:

    I really enjoyed the course. Already being an event coordinator at a venue, I took the class to learn the proper etiquette and structure of weddings. Chezelle our instructor was fabulous and made every class enjoyable and was extremely knowledgeable.

  19. Mandy Says:

    I am interested in event planning..in fact this is my passion-have been planning parties for my family for a while now and it all comes naturally to me. Thus, I would like to learn some new skills and get paid for what I enjoy most. Now, are these courses for just weddings or for any events such as large professional meetings, birthdays, anniversaries etc?? Thank you.

  20. Wedding Planning Institute Says:
