Summer 2013 Internships

I finally finished school for this semester so now I can dedicate a lot more time to keeping up with this blog! After sending out my resume to 20 different wedding planning companies in Austin, TX, and Dallas, TX, I managed to score two internships for this summer! I will be working at Bird Dog Wedding and Something To Celebrate.

At Bird Dog Wedding I get to work closely with Emily Leach. I will be working at her office/home three times a week, accompanying her to client meetings, running errands, creating timelines, assisting at weddings, and much more. Because she runs a smaller business, I will really get to learn all the ins and outs of the industry and see what goes into planning a wedding from start to finish.

At Something To Celebrate I get to work with a few of the company's event planners who are based in Austin, TX. This company works out of Austin, San Antonio, and Houston, so they take on a lot of weddings per year. I will get to assist at weddings, attend client meetings, and complete an intern project. This internship is year-long which will ensure I learn a lot about the wedding industry. While interviewing for this internship I got to attend and assist at two weddings - one at Three Points Ranch and one at The Driskill Hotel.

Over the summer I plan to use this blog to record the work I do, the fun events I go to, and what I've learned through these internships. It's going to be a wild ride - but I'm more than ready for it!
