For some time I’ve been wanting to go more in depth with wedding and event planning. My husband and I have a party rental company and we often have clients come in wanting assistance with their events from start to finish. While we help with the basics, I felt that there’s so much more we can offer to make it the best, most valuable experience for our clients.

After researching a lot of event planning courses and schools, I feel that the QC IWEP certification course was the right choice! I found that the information presented was clear and packed with detail.

Now I feel more confident in creating accurate timelines, budgets and assessing venues for our clients. I especially enjoyed learning how to plan a variety of weddings and events in detail and was happy that I could do it all at my own pace. In the beginning, I was worried that it would be overwhelming with trying to balance between our rental business and family as a mom of three with the youngest being a toddler, but the structure of the course and clarity of the material made it very manageable. I had set my goal to complete it between 6-9 months and I was able to complete it within 6.

My tutor, Anita DiPaolo, was also a gem. Her feedback on each assignment was invaluable and I appreciate that she shared her perspectives especially with Unit G’s assignment. Her guidance gave me useful insight on how I can approach similar, real world situations if it ever arose.
