As Wedding Planners we do not have a need for commercial office space, but we do need a work space. Whether you work from home or have a commercial space, your office says a lot about you, your style and your business.
Your office should be very personal to you and a glimpse into your style. You want to attract like-minded clients, so let them see what you are about.

Must-haves for your office space include:
- a computer
- filing system
- inspirational reading
- a desk and comfortable chair

In addition to the above, if you are having clients into your workspace than there are certain must-haves:
- a consultation area
- seating for yourself and at least two others

You don’t want to scare away potential clients by an allergic reaction, so here are some things to keep out of your office:
- pets
- strong smells (multiple scented candles, air fresheners, etc)
- cigarettes or other smoking paraphernalia

Let your personality shine. Have fun creating your space, you are going to spend a lot of time in there!
Need some more gorgeous inspiration, or just want some wedding office eye candy? I’ve compiled a Pinterest board of Wedding Office Inspiration for you here:
I am really looking into this wedding planning industry. I have been working at gathering material and information for almost a year. I made my own website but I am still having issues with networking. I have multiple boards from Twitter, Instagram and also Facebook but I haven’t gotten the click with the industry yet. I look forward to working with people as o have always had a knack at multitasking and creating visions for people throughout their lives. I am a fixer, caring and compassionate woman who needs to have my own business. I am interested in the course but maybe in the new year. Having some credentials in my portfolio would help for sure. I love the information I have found for WPIC, so I look forward to finally getting a certification within the industry to get some recognition for what I have already done.
Looking for someone like you but in India
