Plan your first destination wedding within 6 months?
We’ll show you how it really works.
Let’s be honest.
Destination wedding planning often looks incredibly glamorous from the outside — beautiful venues, travel, styling, love. And yes… it truly is 🤍
But it’s also about planning, communicating, structuring, negotiating, thinking ahead and carrying responsibility.
And that is exactly what we teach you.
This is our 6-month course where we guide you step by step through what destination wedding planning really looks like in practice. No theory for the sake of theory — but everything we apply ourselves every single day as an international destination wedding planning agency.
Who we are (and why we created this academy)
We are The Travelling Wedding Planner. Read more about our team here 🤍
For years, we’ve been planning destination weddings all across Europe. And throughout those years, we kept receiving the same questions:
-
“How did you get into this?”
-
“Where can you learn this profession?”
-
“Can I do this too?”
The honest answer?
There wasn’t a course that truly showed how destination wedding planning works in real life — taught by active wedding planners with personal contact and real attention. So we decided to create one ourselves.
