Learning only through experience seems to be the go-to route for wedding planners, but Krisy Thomas says this is harming the entire industry.

Krisy Thomas joins us to talk about education and certification for wedding planners. And it all comes down to this: education can help fast-track your career and shield you from major mistakes.
