Wedding Planner Internship Opportunity

If you’re interested in learning more about the life of a wedding planner then an internship or work experience could be just what you’re looking for. And I just so happen to be looking for a new one to start October 2016.

Dream Occasions interns shadow me whilst I organise client events, but also gain an understanding of how running an entrepreneurial business works. I’m looking for someone bubbly and enthusiastic, someone who has passion for the events industry, someone for whom this isn’t a future career but more a calling.

I adore the wedding planning industry and thrive on nurturing new planners. You’ll receive hands on experience on how much detail goes into organising each client event. But you are in control of your time, you will make decisions on whether you wish to attend client meetings or indeed actual events if happening during your internship with us. Interning with Dream Occasions will:

  • enable you to gain experience before entering into paid employment or starting your own business
  • enable you to make professional networking connections with our excellent suppliers, venues and event planners
  • provide you with a commendable reference for you to use if seeking employment elsewhere
  • give you an understanding of how an event planners works,  plus most excitedly, you will receive personal private tuition and mentoring from Bernadette based on the UKAWP popular courses
  • give you additional skills in PR, marketing, design, blogging and negotiating. All essential in running your own entrepreneurial business.

The ideal candidate will have/be some of the below

  • a passion for weddings and events, someone who constantly reads bridal magazines and blogs.
  • an understanding of current and predicted wedding trends
  • a passion for learning new skills
  • extremely organised with the ability to juggle different tasks at the same time, especially switching between the 2 businesses

What hours are you needed?

2 days per week (totally flexible on the days), 10am – 2pm when in Coggeshall, any hours that suit you if based from home

At least 1 day needs to be in the home office of Bernadette in Coggeshall, Essex thus your own car is essential. The remaining 1 day can be at your own home or you are welcome to spend both days with Bernadette. The more time we spend together the more you will learn organically especially when you accompany me to meetings. You also have the opportunity to attend client meetings and event is you wanted to.
