We took up the challenge and <strong>got involved<\/strong> to make our spouses happy, and we have achieved our goal: realize the wedding just as they had always dreamed of, making it the <strong>most beautiful wedding<\/strong> of the episode. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The wedding we organized for Giada and Nicola was awarded by \u201cFour Weddings\u201d for the elegance and attention to detail of the event. It was a huge recognition for us being in charge as wedding planners and coordinators, not only of the success of the event, but first of all of the details of the wedding: from the preparation of the civil ceremony to the reception, until the cake cut.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn more about the victory at &#8216;Quattro Matrimoni&#8217; and discover more details about our activity, you can read the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.notiziediprato.it\/news\/sono-pratesi-le-wedding-planner-piu-brave-d-italia-chiara-e-silvia-sbaragliano-la-concorrenza-su-sky\" title=\"Notizie di Prato article on Aries Weddings &amp; Events winners of Quattro Matrimoni\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">article<\/a><\/strong> dedicated to us by Notizie di Prato, the online editorial of the city of Prato.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:72px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aries Weddings &amp; Events: a project for the territory<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From here comes our project aimed at our territory because we are firmly convinced that with our work we can bring added value to the local economy.

The main problem is the lack of knowledge of the services that the professional can offer, but above all of the advantages that every customer can enjoy relying on a wedding planner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The fundamental features of the wedding planner <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, in Italy, there are still some &#8220;pseudo wedding planners&#8221; who call themselves such, but they are only organizers of improvised events and often, they do not have the skills required by our profession.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First of all, remember that &#8220;organizers you are born&#8221;. All of you aspiring wedding planners or event planners must be creative, empathetic, problem-solving and organizational people. These are the fundamental characteristics to be able to undertake this working path, without which you would not be able to manage the relationships with your customers and suppliers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Training to become a wedding planner <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to become a true professional in the weddings &amp; events industry, you need to attend some specialised training courses in wedding planning, wedding design, wedding coordination or event planning, which will give you valid certificates. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After completing the training course, we recommend you to contact an accountant who will help you find the VAT number that best suits your needs in order to start your business.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do not forget that being a wedding planner means staying up to date and being curious to keep up with the trends of this sector that are constantly evolving.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, we remain at your disposal for any further questions or curiosity about becoming a wedding planner. <a title=\"Contact Aries Weddings &amp; Events for questions about becoming a wedding planner\" href=\"mailto:info@ariesweddingstuscany.com\"><strong>Write to us<\/strong><\/a> and we will be happy to help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wedding planners are born!
