Welcome to the World of Wedding Planning!
Feb 10, 2010 Wedding Planning InstituteLovegevity is excited to congratulate some of its newest graduates! Twelve students at Piedmont Technical Community College in Greenwood, S.C., are ready to be a bride’s best friend. They are the very first graduates of Piedmont’s Wedding Certification Class, which was offered in conjunction with the Wedding Planning Institute. The communities where these newly minted wedding and event planners are from won’t know what hit them. Weddings will never be the same! That’s because the weddings will be classier, more on-budget and more fun for the bridal couples than ever before!
The class was taught by Nita Hozey, the owner of Praise Unlimited Weddings. As a wedding consultant and floral designer Hozey has real-world first-hand experience in the wedding world.
As told to Greenwood Today, “Planning weddings can be stressful and sometimes overwhelming. A wedding planner can help make the experience less stressful and help keep their dream wedding affordable” explains Hozey. “We cover 45 objectives, give 23 quizzes and 2 timed exams at the end,” adds Hozey. “I had a lot of fun with these wonderful students. I am definitely looking forward to our next class to be held sometime in late Oct or Nov of this year.”
Tuition for the course is $795 and includes the book and exam, online access to Lovegevity, 40 hours of classroom instruction, hands-on experience and a certificate from The Wedding Planning Institute.

I am taking online class at home and I learned a lot, but sometimes I miss discussion in a classroom which could inspire more ideas and help establishing relationships with other students.

I’m winding down my homework, is there a good way to prepare for the final exam? I’m realizing how much effort it takes to start a wedding planning business, but looking forward to it.

I’d suggest retaking all the practice quizzes and reviewing all the coursework information.

I love this course! The information is so informative and the assignments are really helpful. I also like that in class our instructor talks to us about the market specifically in Hawaii and how it differs slightly from the text information. I can’t wait to start taking a hands-on approach!

This course showed me what it really takes to start your own wedding planning business. The speakers that we get to meet from the Hawaii wedding industry are so informative and helpful. Our instructors are really great too! Thanks!
