Wedding Planning Course
Wedding Planner Course
Professional In-Person Training in Madrid
Start Date: April 7, 2026
If you are looking at the wedding industry not as a hobby but as a profession — this course is for you.
In 2026, the wedding industry has changed.
Clients are more demanding.
Budgets are higher — but so is responsibility.
Couples no longer want “just beautiful.” They expect structure, confidence, and flawless execution.
This course is designed for those who want to enter the profession consciously — or step into the next level — without learning through costly mistakes.
What This Course Is
This is an in-person professional program with deep practical training, a proprietary methodology, and full immersion into the real work of a wedding planner.
– 3 months of training
– 300+ hours of theory and practice
– Work with real cases
– Small groups
– Personal mentoring
You won’t just learn “how to plan a wedding.”
You will understand:
– how to build a company
– how to structure internal processes
– how to manage projects professionally
– how to take responsibility for the wedding day — and for the client’s budget
Course Methodology
The program is based on a proprietary methodology developed through years of working with international clients.
You will learn to:
– think like a planner, not an assistant
– make decisions under pressure
– manage client expectations
– coordinate venues and suppliers professionally
– handle unexpected situations calmly and strategically
These are skills that cannot be learned in online courses alone.
Who Leads the Course
The course is led by Natalia Ortiz, founder of Weddings and Events by Natalia Ortiz, together with the team of Perfect Venue.
Natalia has over 15 years of experience in the wedding and events industry in Spain.
Her projects have been featured in leading international wedding blogs.
She works with couples from the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, France, Mexico, and beyond.
You will learn from someone who actively works in the industry every year — not someone repeating theory.

– Those who want to open a wedding business in Spain
