The Niemierko Academy

If you’re a beginning wedding planner or if you’re thinking about getting into the industry, there’s a fantastic opportunity to learn from one of the international wedding industry’s best and brightest, Mark Niemierko. Mark not only plans some of the most spectacular weddings in London and around the world, but he’s so dapper and dashing and delightful to be around, I swear the cost of attending his week long academy would be worth it just to be near him for that long. Ok, maybe that’s just me. For those in it for the right reasons, Mark’s intimate 10 student workshop at the Dorchester in London is amazingly in-depth, covering every creative and logistical detail that goes into a well run event. He and his team will also be joined by a host of wedding industry experts, including Elton Johns florist Rob Van Helden, Kate Moss wedding cake designer Peggy Porschen and Princess Dianas former make-up artist Maggie Hunt. Check out this video to learn more about The Niemierko Academy, taking place in October 2011, and January and April 2012, and get charmed by Mr. Niemierko yourself.
