This is done through membership, mentoring, training courses and specialised events. The UKAWP is owned and run by three like-minded wedding planners who are passionate about the industry and each run a small but successful wedding planning business of their own. Bernadette Chapman, Sandy Moretta and Kelly Chandler regularly feature in the media and are widely recommended by established planners, industry professionals and training providers as being a dedicated and practical Alliance for all wedding planners, established and new. Each of the directors has approximately 9 years experience running UK-based wedding planning businesses and have run the Alliance together since May 2006.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.whimsicalwonderlandweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/ukawp.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-39441\" title=\"ukawp\" src=\"http:\/\/www.whimsicalwonderlandweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/ukawp.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"255\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><em><strong>{w} What do you love\/dislike about your job?<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Each of us brings a different take on weddings; we have complementary experiences and operate in different areas, but all three are committed to promoting professionalism and good and honest business practice in this field.
