ACPWC offers a new wedding consultant training course in San Jose with emphasis on site coordinators

Welcome visit Our WebSite:

Whether you are just getting started in the wedding industry or wish to enhance your skills and experience, we invite you to learn about our course and our Association. Professional training is important in any industry. We pride ourselves on our Certification Course, as well as our post-graduate, continuing education. The ACPWC Certification Course is a process that helps you develop your skills and business relationships, simultaneously.

Because of the numerous requests by General Managers, Catering Managers, Food and Beverage Managers, Wedding Facility Coordinators and owners of wedding facilities in the Northern California area, we have implemented a course with special emphasis on Facility Coordinators.

The course will take place from Monday, October 5th, through Friday, October 9th, 2009, 9 AM to 5 PM, at the newly-renovated Crowne Plaza in downtown San Jose. The week will be highlighted with round table discussions, directed by Wedding Facility Coordinators, with subjects pertinent to the industry, such as:

• how to work in concert with outside wedding consultants;
• understanding the role of outside wedding consultants;
• how to select reputable wedding/event professionals;
• how to build a cohesive team of wedding/event professionals;
• pros and cons of various software;
• sharing of facility-required worksheets vs. consultants’ timelines
• how to market your facility and yourself.

Discussions/presentations will also include those requested by the students themselves.

The course will describe the responsibilities of each player and how they can work together to achieve the best possible results. It is also recommended for other members of your staff who are on site during weddings. They will be able to better market your facility, recommend one another, and work together as a team.

Each facility will have the opportunity to showcase their venue on Friday, October 9th, at our Speakers’ Day. This is a day of continuing education for our new graduates, as well as our seasoned wedding consultants. The attendance is usually comprised of between 50-60 ACPWC Wedding Consultants, students and wedding professionals. Everyone enjoys this opportunity to gather information and network.

Please check out our website at www.acpwc.com and feel free to call any of our Professional or Certified members who are currently working for facilities, such as: The Hilton, San Jose and Santa Clara, The Fairmont, Silver Creek Valley Country Club, Silicon Valley Capital Club, La Rinconada Golf & Country Club, The Mountain Winery, Stanford Park Hotel and Monterey Peninsula Country Club.


The Associations’ home office is based out of San Jose , CA and currently has chapters in Northern California, Southern California, Florida, Georgia, Colorado, Washington, Alabama, Illinois and Texas. There are over 140 members in the association including international members in places such as Hong Kong, Italy, and Nigeria.

ACPWC Director, Deborah Moody, had served on the ACPWC national board as Chairperson and had

been the representative for the No. California Chapter for the past five years. Moody had worked side by side with ACPWC founder (and previous Director), Ann Nola, and proudly accepted the opportunity to follow in her mentor's footsteps as the newly appointed Director earlier this year.

The course will be held at the Crowne Plaza located in beautiful downtown San Jose, accessible to all major freeways, adjacent to light rail and train stations.

The Crowne Plaza Hotel San Jose is across from the San Jose McEnery Convention Center, the Center for the Performing Arts, the Tech Museum of Innovation, Adobe headquarters and within walking distance to the HP Pavillion (formerly San Jose Arena), 3 short miles from the San Jose Airport.
