PRTM 3910 Wedding Planning and
Management Exam Questions and
Answers
Name and explain two reasons why wedding consulting is a growing occupation. -
Answer-The first reason that more women are choosing to postpone getting married
until after they receive an education. This results in most couples getting married later in
life. As most people could see this as a threat to the wedding industry, it is actually a
benefit. This allows couples time to build their career and income giving them a larger
budget to hire a planner.
The second reason giving growth to the industry is with an increase in interracial and
intercultural marriages. Most couples are not equipped to combine their two cultures
and families to make their dream wedding a reality. A wedding planner allows them to
have an equipped person to blend these two backgrounds into one with minimal stress.
In considering the roles of the wedding consultant which is the most important and why?
- Answer-As a wedding planner we have many roles. Some of these roles are: service
provider, decision-maker, organizer, artistic designer, confident, mediators, and friend.
According to the book the most important role is that of a service provider. With this role
you have obligations not only to the couple and their families but also to the vendors.
Playing the role of a service provider means that you act professionally with dignity and
respect. In my personal opinion, I also think the role of organizer and mediator is really
important as well. As a wedding coordinator we are able to service as the constant
"point-person" of communication between everyone. This allows consistency and gives
room for the couple to have less-stress and enjoy their engagement. Organizing is also
important because you need that person to figure out all of the details and how they are
going to work together to achieve the end goal.
What are the benefits and drawbacks of arranged marriages? - Answer-One of the main
benefits to arranged marriages is that most individuals come from similar religious,
social and financial backgrounds creating a solid and relatable foundation for couples.
Arranged marriages also come with high family support relieving the burden of potential
in-law arguments. One of the drawbacks to arranged marriage is the idea of choice.
Everyone should have the choice with who they marry and it would be unfair to force a
marriage on two people who are not compatible.
How do celebrity (real or fictional) influence wedding purchases? - Answer-Celebrities
always capture media attention especially when it comes to weddings. They have the
ability to set trends for what is popular and what consumers want. They also are able to
create publicity for planners and ideas and vendors.
What factors have contributed to an increase in acceptance of same-sex, intercultural
and interfaith marriages? - Answer-In today's society we are experiencing change in the
