The UK Alliance of Wedding Planners was founded for one purpose: to promote professionalism in wedding planning. This is done through membership, training courses and specialised events. A wedding is the most personal and important event in a couple’s life and those involved have a duty to act with integrity and honesty.

Currently, the wedding industry is unregulated so, previously, there was no way for a bride to find a responsible and reputable wedding planner. The UK Alliance of Wedding Planners aims to change this. All members listed in our directory are vetted through our strict entrance requirements and abide by our code of ethics and, although every member is different in the way they operate, all conduct their business in a professional manner.

The UKAWP understands that the wedding planning industry is very popular and that there is a high demand for information and training. As a result, we have designed courses for those wishing to embark on this exciting and demanding career. To find out more, go to our training page or email training@ukawp.com. We have also invested in developing business tools, such as a Terms & Conditions template, to aid in the setting up of a professional wedding planning business. Please go to our business tools page for more information.

Whether you are a bride, planner or journalist, we are sure you will find this site very useful and informative. If we can help further, please contact us on info@ukawp.com or any of our members.
