Hey Everyone, I have created my first IG "blog" page called "The Wedding Meet", My goal is to create a go to inspo and a page to display the beautiful work of many Wedding and Event Planners like yourselves! -- World wide. So follow me @theweddingmeet and DM to be featured! Or si...

The books are a guide but read forums, posts and absorb as much information as you can from businesses and blogs. It'll help you complete and fully understand the information from the books and real businesses alike

Goodluck!

I'd suggest giving it another try

I did that quite a while ago, but I did get the total 100.

Goodluck!

I took my time and inquired during my courses, It didn't hurt because I got to understand the services and pricing schemes offered.

Its completely up to you!

I have successfully completed the Event and Wedding Planning Course, Event Decor and Luxury Wedding and Planning Course after one year. I am now waiting for my Award of Merit certificate and my luxury certificate! So excited and really anxious to begin working.. :) My tutor, Alexandra was absolutely...

Good-luck to you!!

Wow you work fast! I'm not there yet, but when i am i'll let you know

Well even if you are/ aren't I think we'd get the same grade because I have the same answers! I was actually referring to 3 , 6 and 9 , had a little toss up there. But I opted for False in the end. Just reviewing my work before I submit it today. Thank you :) Hope you get a good grade and a happy ne...

Hey everyone

Is anyone a part of this association?

I'm interested in applying but would like some feed back first!

Hey! I am on the same exact unit, A7. I've read articles on forbes and other business luxe websites to get my ideas on what sets luxury corporate apart. So far I've used location, decor, detail, time frame ( in a diff aspects to luxury weddings) for my description. I wish they went further in dept w...

I completely understand! polyvore is more to fashion than event planning, setting up your own decor and taking photos is a much better way..plus it shows you have determination! I actually made my own centerpiece for a unit in my first course IEWP.. and I wasn't told anything.. I think the tutors wo...

Yes, all I can say is trust your gut!

I found I had my own opinions, so I wrote my own little notes under the MCS. A few times my tutor didn't agree with me, and I felt unheard because I couldn't physically discuss it, but just be told my answer was wrong and hear her own opinion. Frustrating!

Heyyaa,

What I've been doing is converting the files to Microsoft word via or any other converters I find on chrome.

Hope this helps!

Hey, A lot of the questions were vague ( I didn't like this) and others were not mentioned in the text. I suppose these were test questions for your own knowledge. A few of them I had my own thoughts about and the answers were a toss up for me in MC; I had re-read them for days! I included my own li...

This question was so vague!! I re-read it for days :cry:

..I answered the same as you but I can't remember if it was right or not.

Do you have a business plan? That might be a good way

Hey!

Has anyone started their luxury wedding planning course?

Wow! You know what, I'm not there yet but it sounds to me like you are doing something RIGHT. Don't give up, get your name out there. Clear the air! Visit as many vendors as you can, promote your name and your services. As to social Media, I would want to block and report these people on impulse, bu...

I've just started my Luxury Wedding Course and would love to connect with any other students doing the same course!

Aimee

WOW congrats! I had that problem with another tutor, but the least the school could've done was inform me you know. I wasn't to thrilled.

Well my interpretations were exactly yours..I had messaged the student support to find out ( early up this year) and they said basically anything but i thought to myself "should I put my assignments up there next to everyone's Event Work?" I mean the photos are gorgeous! At the time I was ...

Well I don't think there is any harm in that. I'd just do it, i'm sure your tutor would like it. But it's your decision. I suppose they have guidelines because they are a school. I think they idea is just to put colors and a few elements together.

Don't have to go to far out.

I'm pretty sure there are tutorials online..probably on you tube. Maybe you can try there? I played around with it during my spare time until I understood it.

Hey has anyone done UNIT C, ASSIGNMENT C4 YET? Would love some advice!

Aimee

thank you! I really thought I wouldn't, at the end of it I reviewed it at least 5 times and just submitted it as is. How are you getting on?

Well, I understand completely. I actually used canva for one or two of them, and polyvore for the rest because I couldn't figure it out at first. I hated using the MS blanks, they should really allow us to use any software that we are comfortable with. I didn't have any complaints.. They pretty much...

Hey for Unit B, I used polyvore and Canva, I played around with it for a few days to understand it. A bit tricky at first, but now i love it!

I suppose you can. But i'd suggest also filling in the color blocks. Maybe chat with student support?

Hope this helps!

After two months of procrastinating, I got an A+ on unit B lol

Yayyy!

Hey Katie & Guisha ! Event Decor would definitely make your services more marketable. I've learn't quite a lot, I am almost finished. It Gives you a lot more insight about how everything works and that it is not just about making things pretty, but making everything compliment each other from to...

I was so going for this until I read that red shouldn't be used for the bedroom. "Color Psychology" says that red is too vibrant of a color ( It raises your BP) and it would be unwise to use it in such a restful area of the house. i.e. you will never sleep.. Hmm! but hey thanks, great mind...

Hey guys,

I am not doing interior decorating but I am curious, In which part of the house would you least use red?

Kitchen, Living room, Bathroom or Bedroom?

(I'd say bathroom) but open to suggestions!

Thank you

Hi there, I haven't finished the Event Decor Course yet, but I am on the second unit and I do like it. It includes a lot of work with Polyvore and creating ideas for yourself to put forward. -- Problem for me is, I have so many ideas but I cannot find a way to piece them together via polyvore softwa...

Hey Guys

Is anyone doing the Fall into Autumn Contest?

Graduate of Event and Wedding Planning
Currently doing Event Decor and then Luxury wedding planning.. Caribbean W.I

residing in Italy

Welcome!

Brilliant! Do you have a website? would love to see how you have setup your business. I am hoping to gain experience before venturing on my own as I am doing a career change!

Kudos to you & Congrats! I've had too many distractions for the past month, finally decided to sit down and finish it. >:/ I actually put together white, yellow and was deciphering between purple and teal to bring out the colors, thanks for your advice! Are you doing any other courses? Aimee

Hey Bianca,

Hope you got through well, Just came back to this assignment.. What ideas did you have in mind for the retirement party? B2 the very last question.

Trying to get some inspiration for it but i'm afraid i'm stuck! would love some insight!

Aimee

Why, thank you.. I guess you just have to play around with them until you find your strengths,, How are you getting along now? I haven't had any luck yet, I guess too many distractions..Have you received your grade? goodluck with unit c ! xx

How are you getting along?

I used inspiration boards to come up with a color palette along with the color wheel and the guidelines given by the manual. I also applied the notes to them...I haven't finished yet as I find it tedious, but this is what i have done so far. Hope it helps

Lol, I am hopefully finished the shabby theme, skipped the rustic and now trying to do the prom casino theme, not feeling to motivated :cry:

.. got to keep using pinterest, and other sites for inspiration. whats ur polyvore name? I'll follow you. We probably both need followers :')

Well to be fair i thought the same but then i started fiddling around with it and there are household items, plates, center pieces things that you can possibly incorporate to an inspiration board along with a wedding dress etc.you can also put in your color palette..if you type in your desired color...

Hmm I recently started using polyvore..i love it ! but unfortunately i have skunk eyes from staying on it too long.. and I absolutely love CANVA, it is much easier, less graphics but its really good. These are my recommendations. I have been fiddling with polyvore to create an inspiration board,..th...

I'm doing a similar package..still stuck on Unit B for event decor .. It feels great having my first certification but now finding a job is harder.. anyways can't complain i'm one step closer..let me know if you need any advice..it is a little difficult..It takes me ages to come up with the right id...

Hey everyone,

A2 Event Decor

Has anyone completed this assignment? I am finished and it has been marked but I am still confused as to why I got one or two wrong.. I read the book inside out and was very disappointed with my mark
Aimee

Did you try weebly?

Hey guys,

I'm officially finished my event and wedding planning course ! I received my certificate 2 days ago and boy am I excited!

I'm now starting my Event decor, would be happy to link with fellow classmates

Aimee

I'm almost finished yay!!

Does anyone else think Option B seems so much easier than it is to option A?

.. i figured the two could be a pair.. anyways Option A it is!

Any advice guys?

Aimee

Sweet! I guess that is why we are all here right

Do you have a makeup blog? I'd be glad to follow you!

I'll definitely give it some thought into doing it, but first I should complete everything else and not get in over my head.

I am actually in event planning, considering a makeup course however I have been doing my courses while working on full time job, 6 days a week. I work during the night, read during my break ..x.x it depends how you plan your schedule ! But go for it! Education is contagious.

Heyy,

Thanks for the advice. Are you a professional make up artist?

Hey Marianne,

I'm aware, but I have been quoting everything in USD because it is an international currency..but I was wondering why she waited til unit E to correct me -.-

Thanks for confirming it!

Hey everyone, I have been quoting all my prices in USD from the beginning of my course. My tutor has just asked me in her voice-note why do I keep quoting in US? I understood from the assignments that they were in dollars, USD which for me is in an international currency... I am on assignment F and ...

Hey everyone, I am currently enrolled in three of the event school courses which I am 1/4 way through. I have been thinking about doing a makeup course, to be honest I am no makeup guru.The most I apply whenever I am going to work or going out is a little liquid foundation,face powder and blusher. I...

Hey everyone,

Finally on my last unit, YAY! but really aiming for a good grade this time.

I am opting for choice A, but have trouble reasoning as to why in words.

Would like to know anyone elses thoughts on this assignment?

Help appreciated!

Aimee

Hi there,

I used names of people working in the hospitality industry and the marine sector. You can easily use professors, spokespersons..it can be anyone really once they have the knowledge.

Good luck!

Hi there,

I'm pretty sure you will be able to download them from the student center.

Hi there, I am actually hoping to get experience first in the event planning field, I've pretty much grown up in the Hospitality Industry so I do know a little bit. I'm directing my self into a reputable event planning company or a resort, where I can work along with the event planner maybe as an as...

Great thanks!

I actually wanted to finish all three courses by september but then took a look at unit F ... Closed that manual so quickly haha

I've never gotten under A either, don't intend too.. trying not to rush anything. Where are you located?

Haven't gotten there, wish I could assist!

How did you get through with unit D? I'm on the bad-luck sect but can't determine if Its in the book or are they asking our professional approach?

Hope you can help :/

Aimee

To each their own. Experiencing first hand religious culture as opposed to reading about it, is much more entertaining. I have nothing against them, I have actually worked closely with many Islamic and Hindu cultures. Can be very interesting. Yes, these words are interchangeable. But using my common...

I don't know about anyone else but this is the most boring book I've hit so far; Been trying to finish it for the past three weeks, keep reading two pages and losing my focus. Religious wedding variations --- Anyways, Question 4, Multiple Choice : In the Islamic faith, men can have up to; 2,3,4 or 5...

Great! Let me know how it goes or if I can help you with anything else

Aimee

Congratulations Hannah! Your website is very professional however, in an honest opinion, the background image takes too much away from the writing. Maybe if you focus it in a different aspect or even change paragraph style of the writing, It can be easier to read and draw attention. Also, I love the...

I surfed the internet and found a list of companies and their slogans, i.e Pepsi or Lays Chips - I derived a catchy slogan from this. ( grab the readers attention) So this part being ATTENTION. I used personalized marketing to keep my readers attention as INTEREST. i.e Addressing a letter to someone...

Thanks Ahava!

I received an A+ for my unit C. YIPPEE! My tutor said I did more than what she asked for, so I guess nerves are better than none!

Did you manage to finish it? I can give you a few ideas to what I did?

Aimee

Hey everyone, I'm looking at the possibility of moving to England or Italy later this year, no particular area has been chosen yet, but advice on event internships would be helpful or even starter jobs. Just to get some experience in. I have a dual nationality which allows me to be in and out which ...

I can imagine, we just did a luxury wedding in April where I work, Man was it crazy! But fun! So worth it! Excited to start!

Are you finished with the Event and Wedding? I'm almost, I'm on unit D.

Aimee x

Hey Alan,

How do you like the luxury wedding course? I should be starting soon. Any advice?

Hey guys,

Just submitted unit C! Half way to finishing but nervous as hell for the Direct mail piece ..

Hey

I signed up for all three, I'm almost finished wedding and events, I have only browsed through event decor, looks like fun! hope this helps.

Aimee

Heya, I didn't get anything!

I'll try from my end to message you.

Aimee

Completely stuck on C5, Any advice guys?

I understand the AIDA formula, but i'm having trouble finding a catchy opening sentence and staying in the 200 word limit. :?:

Help appreciated!

Aimee

Hey,

The answers are always there, check the marketing book working with vendors and clients, I'm on C5 but i believe C6 is also in that book.

Hey guys, I suggest contacting QC to find out whats happening. I normally get my assignments marked on the same day or within two days but keep in mind weekends and public holidays don't count.

My tutor is Alexandra Slawek. Best of luck!

No worries, its a great course.. I'm on unit C. Just read the books, all the answers are there. Pinterest is my favorite to help create ideas! Also DIY blogs and pages. You can get a lot of inspiration. I live on a small island so my research is slightly different. I have limited vendors, and suppli...

@kelly2204 I got an A for unit 1, my advice to you is you choose the traits that you can best familiarize yourself with. There are no right or wrong answers . Relate this to your knowledge in event planning expertise and your set to go. I related mine to being a hospitality professional but if you d...

Hiya, I have a full time job six days a week, the best suggestion that I can give is to allocate your time wisely, One hour everyday or every other day should keep you on track, depending on your schedule. This is if you want to complete within 4-5 mths, I'd suggest this, more than an hour, even bet...
