About Curated Wedding Journeys

Founded in 2018 by industry veterans with over two decades of combined experience, Curated Wedding Journeys emerged from a simple yet profound observation: the wedding industry desperately needed a bridge between passionate individuals and professional excellence. Our founders, Sarah Mitchell and Elena Rodriguez, recognized that while many people possess an innate love for creating beautiful celebrations, few have access to the comprehensive training required to transform that passion into a thriving career.

Our academy was born from their shared vision of democratizing professional wedding planning education. After planning over 500 weddings between them and working with luxury venues across North America and Europe, Sarah and Elena understood that successful wedding planning requires far more than creativity—it demands business acumen, vendor relationship management, crisis resolution skills, and an intimate understanding of cultural traditions and modern trends.

What sets Curated Wedding Journeys apart is our holistic approach to education. We don't just teach you how to arrange flowers or coordinate timelines; we provide comprehensive training in client psychology, budget optimization, vendor negotiation, crisis management, and the business fundamentals essential for building a sustainable wedding planning enterprise. Our curriculum combines traditional planning principles with cutting-edge digital tools and contemporary industry practices.

Today, our graduates work as independent planners, luxury venue coordinators, destination wedding specialists, and corporate event managers worldwide. We're proud to have certified over 800 professionals who have collectively planned more than 3,000 weddings. Our commitment extends beyond graduation—we provide lifetime access to our resource library, ongoing mentorship opportunities, and exclusive networking events that keep our alumni connected and thriving in an ever-evolving industry.
