In my free time...
It is so funny because I am still so obsessed with weddings....I love to plan them! So a couple months ago, I started up my own business of doing day of coordination! I did my first bride last month and my next one is the 25th and I LOVE this. I am SO excited to get this off the ground and the bride I did last time, gave my number to another girl and wants me to help her in September! I'm way cheaper then the other "popular" event coordinators but I think I can do a damn good job!
Re: In my free time...
Thats great! I've been at it for a while (years) and its a really hard market to break into around my area. So congrats!
I have been doing the same thing! I did a wedding in October, one in April and I have another in August. Mostly just family, friends, and friends of family.
My major in college was Special Event Management (and sports entertainment management), so I have always wanted to do it. I am hoping that by the time I have kids and stuff I will be able to start my own business.
Are you mostly getting booked by word of mouth?
Congrats!! That is so awesome :-)) I still am sort of wedding obsessed also, and would love to find a way to turn that into a side income. I did makeup professionally a while back, and did do about 5 brides/parties, but the time during the week involved didn't work well with my day job...and like you, it started with a relative (niece) and she had other friends getting married around the same time and passed my name along...I also did a couple of proms. Hmmm...maybe I'll look into that again.
My dream, though - would be a wedding photographer!
Good luck with your new business venture!!

I love photographing weddings! I had so much practice last year (we made it to 13 weddings!) and I had a blast! Though I would never ask anyone to pay me for my photography, our friends/family have always loved my pictures
I love it for a hobby, it would be too much pressure as a job for me
