Apprenticeships

We receive approximately 3-4 requests for apprenticeships each week due to the increased popularity of the field. This industry has become highly saturated and, in turn, an extremely competitive market in recent years. It is increasingly difficult to get into the industry, and experience is imperative. The fact that you are doing your research tells me that you are moving in the right general direction.

Our apprenticeship program will involve the complete planning, staging, event design and production of two weddings or events (depending on schedule with booked clients). The schedule is flexible in that you are able to choose which two event dates work best for you, but meetings and appointments with clients are dependent upon the clients' schedules. Apprentices will attend the final planning meeting with the clients, be involved in the compilation of itineraries and emergency contact lists, rehearsals, and day of coordination for each of the two events that they choose. You will also be involved in as many events throughout the year as your schedule allows, and you will experience the same level of exposure to event planning and coordination as an assistant coordinator for each of the events. There is a long list of other duties and knowledge that you will experience and learn first hand throughout each of those phases of planning.


A certificate will be awarded upon apprenticeship completion, and the use of approved media may be included in your portfolio.

Apprenticeship program cost - $1,000 (Installment payments available upon request)
