Hi Rhianna! Yes we have a few students in rural towns- so your not the only one! Because the wedding industry is so large there are a lot of opportunities. Yes being in a small town will mean that there will be less brides getting married, but you also will have less competition as well. If you apply for a job at a venue, chances are you wont have lots of other people applying for the same job. Also I have found smaller towns dont have much knowledge when it comes to weddings ( i.e the venues dont know too much about running weddings) So, there is opportunity to approach venues- to be there sub contracted events coordinator/ wedding coordinator. You also could launch an online wedding business as well. One of the largest wedding decoration suppliers in Australia is actually based at Hervey Bay in QLD! So when your online, physical presence doesnt matter as much. Another idea is starting a online wedding inspiration instagram account. Other wedding companies then pay $50 per post for a shout out to your followers! So there is a lot of additional business opportunities to add to your wedding planner service. I hope this helps!
