If you are planning your own wedding right now and loving every minute of it — the timelines, the seating chart, the vendor calls, the day itself — that is not just a talent. That is a business waiting to happen. The Ten Minute Planner system gives you the whole box: the tools, the templates, and the step-by-step path from your first paying client to real income, one wedding at a time.
Get the 2027 Wedding Trends Guide, free with our place cards in the Etsy shop. The colors, the paper, and the details shaping next year — a first taste of how we think about weddings, and proof you can spot what couples actually want.
Step 2 — The guide book
How to Become a Wedding Planner — coming soon. The honest starting point: what the job actually involves day to day, how planners find their first paying clients, what to charge, and the beginner mistakes that cost real money.
Step 3 — The full course
Coming soon. The complete business in a box — budgets, vendor payments, timelines, seating, and day-of coordination, plus the client forms, contracts, marketing plan, and bookkeeping to run it like a real business. The full toolkit lives here, in the course.
What you will be able to do
By the end of the course, you will be able to take a couple from first meeting to last dance — and run the business behind it — without guessing:
Build a budget that stays honest — real numbers, a contingency line, and totals you can defend to a client.
Run vendor payments without surprises — deposits, balances and due dates tracked so nothing lands in the same week unannounced.
Build a day-of timeline everyone can follow — one page, in order, with buffer where it matters.
Seat a room without drama — anchor tables, protect the awkward cases, and finalize only when RSVPs close.
Coordinate the day itself — the coordinator view: who does what, when, and who to call when plans change.
Everything is taught with the same tools our planner spreadsheet is built on, so you are learning a working system — not theory you have to translate later.
What's in the box
The course ships with the complete toolkit — everything below is included, so you are not piecing a business together from scattered downloads:
Win clients
Inquiry tracker, consultation script, pricing calculator, and a proposal template — so you know what to charge and how to ask for it.
Onboard them
Client intake forms, a welcome packet, and email templates for every stage, from first reply to one week to go.
Plan the wedding
Master timelines, vendor tracker, day-of coordinator view, seating, rehearsal checklist, and tip tracker.
Handle the money
Income and expenses, profit per wedding, invoicing, payment schedules, and a quarterly tax summary.
Market yourself
Marketing plan, advertising plan, social media kit, TikTok and Instagram strategies, and referral templates.
Run the business
Contracts, business setup checklist, mileage and time trackers, and a goals tracker for bookings and revenue.
Who this is for
You plan friends' weddings — and love it
You are the one people call. You enjoy the puzzle of it: the people, the timing, the details. You want to know if that could be real work.
You want income that fits your life
Wedding planning starts as a side income: evenings, weekends, one wedding at a time. No storefront, no staff, no quitting your job to find out if it fits.
You want to build something that's yours
Your clients, your calendar, your rates. No storefront, no staff, no quitting your job to find out if it fits — start with one wedding and grow from there. A weekend certificate does not book clients. A system does.

More courses are planned
Wedding planning is the first course in the series. A wedding photographer course is planned next, for the other side of the day — same approach, same standard: one clear page at a time.
Start with the free guide. The 2027 trends guide is free with our place cards, and the blog already covers budgets, payments, timelines and seating — the same thinking the course is built on.
