The self-paced Essentials course is a short introduction: the fundamentals of wedding planning, in video lessons on your own schedule. The live program is the complete method: 6 weeks, 12 live evening classes on Zoom, the business of weddings taught live, and the official certificate. And if you start with the Essentials, your $197 credits toward the live program anytime.
The self-paced Essentials course is $197, one payment. The live program is $1,497, or 3 × $549. The Launch, where we build the business side with you, is priced on a free consultation call.
