How can i get into Wedding Planning?

I live in nj close to ny and I really want to try working in wedding planning. I'd love to find a job as an assistant or intern for an event planning firm to get my foot in the door but I have had a hard time finding openings or information. Any ideas, tips, suggestions are welcome. Thank You !!!!

1. I would send Valerie X an email. She is a wedding planner in Chicago, and I am sure that she can give you a few phone numbers of her contacts in New York. good luck!
2. You have to be willing to work for free, at least for a couple of events. Also, ask to help plan a friend's wedding for free. Then document everything you do - pricing, organization, whatever. Take pictures too. This is how you start building a portfolio and resume in order to get a real job in the future. Every time you meet someone who sells anything even remotely related to weddings, get their business card and stay in touch - this means flowers, dj services, dresses, rental property, you name it. It would also help to get a degree in business and/or design, etc. as well.
