To meet the growing demand from brides  and grooms to be, the Wedding Planning Institute is partnered with hundreds of colleges and universities across the United States and in other countries to offer hands on training and certification for wedding planners. The program is designed to assist both aspiring and existing wedding planners with starting or building their wedding planning careers. The Wedding Planning Institute’s Certification is internationally recognized by The Association for Wedding Professionals International and is offered through hundreds of colleges both as a classroom and online course. Students have the opportunity to assist at real weddings, as well as tour venues and meet with professional wedding vendors.

Colleges and universities across the U.S. are supporting the growing demand for wedding planners by offering 10 week classroom sessions for spring, summer and fall of 2008. Students can attend evening classes and receive their professional certification at the end of the 10 weeks. All graduates of the program can participate in job placement assistance and bridal referral leads from WPI.

The company’s mission is to provide busy couples with the best wedding resources available, along with the tools to help build stronger marriages such as relationship education during the wedding planning process.

Brides can now check, verify, and/or review every wedding vendor they might need or use for the biggest day of their life from the dressmaker to the florist at one convenient location. WeddingSolutions.com has added Wed Reviews to its comprehensive roster of wedding information. For the first time, newly married couples can publicly praise the providers they used for their wedding if they did a great job, or warn other brides if they did not.

Couples can rate their wedding service providers in four major categories: Price, Professionalism, Service and Quality. The reviewers have the option of allowing others to contact them for further explanation. Similarly, Wedding Service providers can defend themselves by telling their side of the story.

The Wed Reviews section of WeddingSolutions.com will be instrumental in helping engaged couples make the right decision when hiring wedding vendors. http://www.weddingsolutions.com/wed_reviews/ “Getting references from service providers doesn’t help that much since they tend to give names of only those customers who they know were happy with their services,” says Alex Lluch, President of WeddingSolutions.com. “This makes it very difficult for a bride to know if the service provider they are thinking to hire will perform according to their expectations. WeddingSolutions.com is determined to do something about this.”
