Congratulations and welcome to the Association of Bridal Consultants!

Whether you’re a bride or a professional working in the wedding industry, you have come to the right place.
ABC is the oldest and largest training organization for wedding professionals in the world. We currently have over 4,000 members located in all 50 states and in 27 countries. Since 1955 our goals have been to raise professional standards in the wedding industry and to make brides happy. These goals have helped ABC members stand out for their high standards and thereby prosper along the way.

1) If you are looking to become a wedding planner (or are an event planner wishing to do more weddings) join ABC for increased credibility and explore our ongoing education and the ABC Professional Development Program™.

2) If you are a vendor (such as a musician, caterer, photographer, videographer, rehearsal dinner venue, etc.) join ABC as a vendor member and get to know our wedding coordinators.

3) If you are a bride, use our website to locate an ABC wedding coordinator to help make your dreams come true ( . . . also on time . . . and under budget!).

ABC also has great Corporate Sponsor programs offering special benefits to ABC members and their brides. These include among others, the ABC Member Health Plan, ABC Member Liability Coverage, ABC buying power, and also our exciting Honeymoon and Destination Wedding programs. ABC programs are only available to current ABC members. Also, all ABC members agree to uphold the ABC Code of Ethics and Standards of Membership.

So relax . . have fun . . . and let us continue our tradition since 1955 of helping wedding dreams come true. We thank you for this chance to earn your respect, and we welcome the opportunity to serve you.
