Wedding Planner Book
"AWESOME wedding planner book!
I bought it on the weekend and didn't think I would get much for such a low cost but I was delighted.
I will definitely recommend your Wedding Planner guidebook to any of my friends who want to get into wedding planning."

"Thank you so much for this excellent guide!
I had made the decision to set up business as a Wedding Planner when I came across your guide and decided that even if you could give me just a few tips it would be worth the price.
I had only "speed read" the first 50 pages (of over 200!) when I knew I had made a purchase which would be worth it's weight in gold!
Even though I live in England and some of the advice is not applicable here there is more than enough which is applicable for me to make more than my money back with my first assignment."
