HEART TO HEART
Because we are entrusted with someone's wedding day, we vet candidates for the highest standards. Those not interested in a long term commitment are not a good fit for Weddings With A Twist. I'm the first to understand that turnover occurs and will cheer you on in a new endeavor when the time is right but completion on long engagements is a matter of ethics in this industry. A basic understanding of this is critical.
Please be honest with yourself about this position. Wedding Planning is ranked as the top five most stressful jobs in the country, year after year, among first responders and above C-Suite executives. The resources available to our planners and our ability to book ideal clients really does alleviate a lot of the stress but this is not a job to pursue based solely on thinking it sounds fun and exciting. While it is, it's also incredibly hard.
