      @@crishnaholmes7730 I got my first job at 15. I was hired to welcome people to a wedding tradeshow and answer questions while they looked around at different vendors. By 17, I was working full-time in a restaurant as a hostess that helped arrange the large parties and banquet dinners. I continued my career in hospitality as a manager, and Director, opening up, restaurants, hotels, and nightlife facilities. I also interned with florists, photographers, and video teams, until I felt ready to open my business in 2011.

    Andrea! Thank you so much for this video! You are My inspiration in the Wedding Industry! I am only starting my "Wedding Planner Adventure" after working for 6 years in hotel and restaurant industry. Honestly the level of making weddings in Poland (where I actually live) is much more lower than in USA or even Ukraine(where I am from) or Russia. I really want to raise up this industry and make weddings so everyone admire them. I would like to know how to start working with the client for the first time when in fact my experience is small. If you could make a small video or give some other information I would appreciate it so much!

    Ok this is by far the best advice video on You Tube! I have so many questions and you seem to answer them. Thanks for all the links. Can you do a video on what you and your staff wear to meetings and the actual wedding. It seems like a silly question but some guidance is needed sometimes. Thank you so much!

      Many businesses cannot accept interns unless the intern is currently enrolled in a program through a university. You should apply with a local planner and ask your school to assist you in finding a team to work with.
