I was working 9-5 at a law firm for years. It was unfulfilling and I craved creativity and freedom. I helped a co-worker with her wedding and my eyes were opened to a whole new world outside of my cubicle. I started helping other friends with their weddings and decided to do it as a side-hustle.
It was stressful starting from scratch though. I couldn't find templates, didn't know the cost of weddings and couldn't find a course to help me understand the business behind weddings. I had learn about pricing, understand event design, to learn hundreds of new skills with each wedding, build dozens of templates from scratch, learn to market myself and how to lead large teams. It was hard. Really, really hard...
I had the exact same problems.
An intensive online training program designed to give you an in-depth education on the business of planning weddings. From defining the roles and responsibilities of planners, designing and coordinating the event, working with vendors, understanding your clients' needs, and building your business, you'll learn everything you need to not just become a wedding planner, but thrive as one.

I start with defining the role and specific responsibilities of a wedding planner, then I'll coach you on how to actually prep and plan a wedding. You'll learn the differences between planners, coordinators, stylists, venue coordinators and designers. Then you'll learn the actual skills, such as how to customize checklists, create budgets, build timelines, manage guest lists and develop seating plans. I also get into client and vendor relationships and boundaries, emergency management, permits, bad weather planing and so much more.
The design of the wedding dictates every decision we make when planning the wedding, from picking the venue/vendors to food and music choices, and of course all of the aesthetic elements like florals, stationery and decor. You’ll learn how to identify a client’s style, how to create and pitch your designs, and how to use space and light and create flow at the event, and how to execute the final vision. I'll also cover styled shoots; they’re a big deal in the wedding community and they're a great way to get your feet wet.
How to Design
I firmly believe every wedding planner *must* build their careers around inclusivity: this course gives you insight on how to best serve clients of different creed, race, sexual orientation, age and ability. You'll learn the key elements of the world’s primary religions, we'll discuss the LGBTQ experience, and you'll learn how to understand the needs of those of different races, ages and ability. The focus will be on incorporating inclusivity and accessibility from your own services to the event designs you'll be preparing.
Cultures, Religions and Inclusivity
Coordination is the month-of admin and the day-of execution itself. You'll start by learning about the prep, like vendor confirmations, final payments, floor plans and meal selections. You'll learn how to lead rehearsals, then I break down every single component of a standard wedding day. Coordination is intense and requires a good deal of experience before you stop feeling like you’re going to die from stress. I'm arming you with the tools and answers you need to best be prepared for all the questions, emergencies and timing issues on the day.
How to Coordinate
Vendors will be your loudest cheerleaders, best lead sources and your closest allies. You need to understand your relationship with them to protect your clients and build your reputation. You’ll learn about pricing structures and common business practices, how to understand contracts and services, create vendor-specific timelines, anticipate their needs, and how to work together on the day-of so that your clients are happy and you build lasting relationships with vendors.
Vendor Managment
Not all planners want to be self-employed. Regardless, you need to understand the business behind being a wedding planner to give you the full perspective. From business planning, pricing services, accounting, legal, branding, SEO, marking, team management, leadership, professionalism, and what tools we use, it’s all here. I'll even walk you through my own business mistakes so that you don't have to make the same ones. It's the coaching I wish I had when I started out.

My story
I was able to go full-time with my dream in only a year. My team has since booked more than 500 events and we've managed $25 million in budgets. I consistently make 6 figures. I have a huge team and we're all great friends. We work in my dream studio, with my dream clients who give me total creative freedom.
I run bootcamps for planners, mentor students of all ages, write for magazines, style tv sets, consult as a designer, and always have a crazy project on the go. I spend my off-seasons travelling the world: last year I spent 6 months living in Bali. I'm living the dream, all because I'm a wedding planner. I'm not special. I simply did the work. You can do it too, I'll show you how.

Brittany and her team were true pleasures to work with from the beginning of the planning process to the end of our wedding day. I'm happy to be married, but will honestly miss being in contact with her on a regular basis for the past 1+ year. I had thought planning would be a huge chore, but I always looked forward to our meetings and calls.
- Danica & Mike
5 stars aren't enough to describe how much of a pleasure it was to work with Brittany and her team to plan and execute our wedding. Brittany was flexible, open, and guided us through the daunting process of planning a wedding. She handled decor and florals for us (and coordination), and she KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK!!!! I would not have been as calm and in the moment, if it wasn't for her. I am so thankful to her and her team for making our dream wedding come true.
- Camille & Nick
Working with Frid Events was a dream and the best decision we made during the entire wedding process. Frid Events did our partial planning, stationary, flowers and day of coordination and our wedding was seamless because of it. The flowers were insane and the beautiful ceremony arch was our dream come to real life. Do your future self a favour and book Frid Events now and your wedding will be beautiful, coordinated, stress free and be everything you could ever want.
- Rachelle & Scott
We actually got married on the day of the tornado and experienced flooding and a total power loss at our venue, but Brittany helped keep everything moving along seamlessly. She managed to get us a back-up generator so we were able to power the DJ for the rest of the night and keep the party going! We are very grateful to her and would recommend her to anyone!
- Madeline & Alexander
BOOK THEM!! I got married this past July and booking my florals with Brittany was one of the best decisions we made throughout our entire wedding process. I would give Brittany and her team 10 stars if I could!! From day one, Brittany made this entire process so easy and stress free. If you need any more proof as to how talented this lady is, our wedding was published on Junebug Weddings this month. She is a great florist and an overall amazing person!! I will be recommending Brittany and her team to everyone I know!
- Bryanne & Andrew
I can't tell you how happy I am that Brittany was suggested to me by a colleague. We used Frid Events for the florals and the set-up of our tables and Brittany truly made my vision become a reality. It was PERFECT! They were stunning! Brittany has a laid back-get it done approach that puts her clientele at ease, which is what every bride needs! She has impeccable style and knowledge and was a pleasure to work with!
- Tanya & Tom
My husband and I decided to hire a coordinator for our wedding last year so that we could relax and enjoy our big day. We are SO grateful we chose to do this and we were extremely impressed by the Frid Events team right from the start. They was professional, thorough, and just a pleasure to work with. We couldn’t have asked for a better team.
-Devon & Tom
The moment I met Brittany I knew I wanted her and her team running the show. I had a feeling she would transform my ideas and add her unique touches to them. That's exactly what she did. Along with her creativity, the planning process was simple and smooth. We were completely stress free the entire process. It rained our entire wedding day and Brittany made us feel like it was a bright and sunny day at the beach. Priceless.
-Stephanie & Kurt
Brittany is the best. She is the most friendly and organized person out there - she makes planning a wedding fun and takes the stress right out of it. She is hilarious and basically is a mind reader. I would 100% recommend hiring her!
- Tara & Julian
Made planning from across the country easy as possible... meaning her team took care of everything. Our day was perfect. Her team was restless. The flexibility in her services is amazing. If you need coordination, your day will go smoothly. If you need florals, you will have the best florals. If you need help with design, she will envision and realize your perfect day even if you are clueless like me. Could not praise her and her team enough.
-Jessica & Mylan
My husband and I would like to say a heart felt thank you to Brittany and her team for the breathtaking floral arrangements. She felt like a friend right away, and it was easy to trust that she was going to do an amazing job. They understood completely the wedding style and the current trends - and made bouquets and arrangements that were more amazing than I could have imagined.
-Brittani & Scott
I HIGHLY recommend Frid Events for any brides with a busy schedule, or if you are just not really sure how to plan a big wedding and need a hand. She is incredible - extremely kind and has your best interest in mind and will make sure your special day runs smoothly. Brittany and her team did planning, design and florals for the entire wedding and SERIOUSLY knocked it out of the park.
-Lex & Ahmed
Brittany is your girl! She definitely went the extra mile for us! She made sure that both my venues were ready and made sure that everything went without a hitch. It really shows that Brittany loves her clients because she took the time to get to know myself and my husband and paid attention to the type of day we wanted to have.
Family and friends still tell me, months later, how well it all went.
- Dominique & Malek
With only a month to go before our big day and trying to make arrangements from Sweden, a one-stop-shop for venue, decor and food seemed more feasible for us, but I really wanted the dream, Pinterest-worthy wedding that I saw reflected in Frid's portfolio and Brittany made it happen, all the while being flexible, personable, and professional. I cannot recommend her services enough!
- Charisse & Anil,
Sweden
Brittany from Frid Events was the most amazing florist we could have wanted for our wedding! I was so impressed with the bouquets, boutonnieres & altar arrangements that she made. Everyone tells me how beautiful our flowers were at our wedding and it is all thanks to Frid Events. Brittany was awesome to work with and really understood what I was envisioning.
- Julie & Chris
Not only did Brittany help us stay on track during the planning process with regular check ins, she was always available and responsive whenever we had questions. With very little direction, she took our flowers and decor and styled the room more beautifully than we could have imagined. They went above and beyond to make sure that we had absolutely nothing to worry about on the day of our wedding and I cannot recommend them enough.
- Laura & Han
Brittany and her team are amazing! If you have a dream for your wedding they can make it happen. They make the planning process seamless and so stress free, our wedding would not have turned out as amazing as it did if it was not for Frid Events. Thank you again for all your help and your amazing floral designs, everything turned out more beautiful then I could have ever imagined!
- Carly & Shane, Australia
I’ve worked with Brittany at two weddings now and she truly makes the day run smoothly for everyone involved. As a videographer, we can find ourselves running around a lot at weddings but with Brittany’s coordination we find ourselves more calm and relaxed during the day. I can testify that she is selfless, kind and a lot of fun! For future brides, Brittany will not only take all your stress away, but she will make your wedding look like it came right off of Pinterest.
-Cassidy Howard, Peaking Zebra
I've had the amazing pleasure of photographing a wedding that was beautiful designed by the one and only Brittany Frid. Probably one of my most favourite wedding designs ever. Everything felt fresh and beautiful and there was immense attention to detail, which made everything flow and visually make sense. From the floral arrangements, to the menus, place cards and linens, everything was well planned out and visually soooo beautiful. Highly recommend Brittany Frid and her team of awesome people!
