having gcses are a plus but ive not got any either and am preparation on becoming a wedding planner too.
Here are some website for courses (in UK) but be warned, they arent cheap!

All of these are at home study courses so you could do them along side further education like college or a job or a touch like that.
Excellent luck!
EDIT: Also experience will really supply you well, help organise parties, birthdays, hen nights, weddings, receptions etc. it will all go towards your reputation if you get the qualification and start your own affair.
You need to go back to high school or get your GED. You’ll need your basic skills to be a successful wedding planner. It’s unlikely that you will just start your own affair and become a wedding planner…you’ll doubtless work as an assistant first, and it’s unlikely that you will get hired without a high school education.
SURE GO BACK TO SCHOOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS ALL THE HELP YOU NEED!!!!!
honey you are 15, you need to go back to school. I would never hire a wedding planner who showed me that they couldn’t even close school. Or who couldn’t make more of an effort to spell corectly.
As said above, it’s doubtless best to try and work as an assistant first to build up all your knowledge etc. before going out on your own to become a wedding planner. Not many people will hire someone with no experience and your age might turn some people off.
Finishing school would doubtless be pretty vital and then getting your foot in the door as an assistant would be my advice!
Reckon about other areas that you might be attracted in that might offer apprenticeships- e.g. cake making/decorating if you’re attracted in wedding cakes, florist courses if you’re attracted in the flower side of things.
Find a job corps in your area and see what they can do to help you. They specialize in employment and GEDs, but you may have to be 16 to do this! Excellent luck!
EDIT:::: If you really can’t go back to school, I would look up some wedding preparation on budget books at your library, they have a lot of information and are fantastic when you are starting out. Start googling "becoming a wedding planner" and I’m sure you can find all that you need!! Take care!!
I’m a wedding planner and here is my 2 cents worth!
In some way get yourself back to school. That is your number one priority. Then call around to some wedding preparation places or huge event halls and question if you could be an apprentice. That way you can be caught up while you’re finishing high school, get some extra money and learn the affair. The affair of wedding preparation takes a lot of patience, organizing, creativity, life experience, budgeting and people skills. I’m sure you will make a fantastic wedding planner someday but you need a few things like school under your belt!!
best wishes……………………….
Edit: ok…….so you’re done with school. Look into the event halls,hotels, conference centers, wedding chapels, large churches, florists and bakeries for work. Because of your age I reckon you need to start as an assistant or apprentice first. I use young girls all the time for last small work like setting up tables and carrying things, helping to make name cards and things like that. The nice part about that is you get to be caught up with the whole administer just not in charge. Sometimes that’s a better place to be anyway! lol!!
You need to close your education. There are many things that you need to know as a wedding preparation that you learn in school. The course that you’re taking is going to assume some basic knowledge in basic subjects, and the knowledge is going to assume you’ve graduated from high school, at a bare minimum.
I reckon you’ll find it nearly impossible getting hired without at least a high school education.
Edit: Well, you’re only 15 years ancient, so of course all of us who are in our 30’s and 40’s know absolutely nothing about life in general. Go ahead, drop out of school, get taken by this "tutor" who will take your money, but you won’t be any more qualified to do what you want to do than you are aptly now.
None of us are saying you can’t be a wedding planner, you’re just doing this in the incorrect order. You really need to close school. Honestly–this isn’t people trying to give you a load of BS, you NEED to close school. Even if you’re not still living with your parents, you NEED to close school.
First off we’re not telling you that you can’t be a fantastic wedding planner one day, but you need to get your priorites straight.
Go back to school or get a GED. I still dont see h ow at 15 you are done with school, when you cant spell (or use a spell check). Anyway, get the school thing done, be a planner’s assistant or work at a caterer/photographer/ etc…that specializes in weddings. that way you can start learning the trade.
Get your GED which you will need to get university or college acceptance into their affair programs. Focus on marketing, then specialize in event preparation.
