Why hiring a Master Certified Wedding Planner protects your biggest investment

We chose to pursue certification through the world's leading wedding planner certification program, the Certified Wedding Planner Society, because they are globally recognized as the pinnacle of wedding planning excellence. Their well-rounded certification process separates them from other organizations.

After becoming a certified wedding & event planner, Nikki continued expanding her skills and received additional certifications such as: Master Certified Wedding Planner, Certified Professional Educator, Certified Wedding Design Consultant, Certified Styled Shoot Coordinator, Certified Floorplan Designer and Certification in timelines. She is also an Industry Advancement Director (IAD) . This has allowed her to elevate her reputation as an elite planner capable of handling high-profile events.

Nikki: "When it came to my attention that the CWP Society was opening a few positions to hold the prestigious title of Certified Educator and complete a specialized training, which was only open to a select few, I knew this was my chance to give back to the organization and to their thousands of members world-wide. Out of hundreds of candidates, I was selected based on my experience, expertise, professionalism and passion for the craft. Becoming a Certified Pro Educator is a huge accomplishment - we are trusted to maintain the high standards of the organization by training and mentoring the next generation of planners. It is an honor to hold this esteemed title and be part of shaping the future of wedding planning at the highest level. I am excited to pass on my knowledge to allow Certified Wedding Planners achieve rewarding careers in this competitive industry."

Sara has also received her certification from the CWP Society as a Certified Wedding Associate, in 2025. We are hopeful that all of our day-of coordination assistants will complete their certifications as well in the near future.
