The initiative is especially significant for women seeking flexible, creative, and income-generating careers. By offering an accessible and structured path into the field, Vowla is helping aspiring planners turn passion into profession-no prior experience required.
'We're witnessing a new wave of wedding planners who bring creativity, empathy, and organization to the table,' said Sarah Yu, spokesperson for Vowla Weddings. 'These women are turning their natural talents and life experience into profitable businesses with the full support of our platform.'
From Passion to Profession-No Prior Experience Needed
Vowla's streamlined onboarding course-The Wedding Planner Starter Kit-provides certification, professional-grade templates, and industry tools tailored for beginners. Once certified, planners are matched with clients based on style, budget, and location. The platform removes the burden of building a personal website, managing payments, or marketing on social media.
One of the newly certified planners, Val, a mother of two, shared, 'Before Vowla, I didn't know how to get started. I loved planning parties for my kids, but I didn't think I could turn it into a business. Now, I've planned three weddings and already booked five more for next year.'
Flexible Income, Real Impact
On average, Vowla planners earn between $2,500 to $8,000 per wedding, depending on the services provided and event complexity. Some work part-time, planning 10-15 weddings annually. Others scale into full-time operations, reaching six-figure incomes. Vowla supports planners every step of the way, providing access to vendor discounts, a national planner community, and ongoing education.
With 2.1 million weddings expected in the U.S. annually and the average wedding budget climbing to $36,000, demand for capable and relatable wedding planners is on the rise.
Modernizing the Industry
Vowla's mission is to modernize and diversify the wedding planning profession. By providing inclusive, practical training and real-world client opportunities, the company is expanding access to a traditionally exclusive industry.
'This is just the beginning,' added Sarah Yu. 'We're building the next generation of planners who are not only skilled but supported.'

Josh Kesselman, HBI Innovations Founder, Featured in Wall Street Journal Piece on High Times Purchase
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - July 2, 2025) - Josh Kesselman, who founded HBI innovations, recently spoke with the Wall Street Journal about his purchase of the iconic counterculture publication, High Times. Kesselman is partnering with Matt Stang, former High Times co-owner, to revive the print version of the magazine, with special-edition releases and relaunching the flagship Cannabis Cup pot competition. "The old High Times, the monetization one, had to be completely destroyed down to the ashes. That way of thinking had to go away," Kesselman said.

PHOTO: BIG FREEZY Josh Kesselman, who founded RAW® rolling papers, paid $3.5 million for the High Times intellectual property rights. Kesselman and Stang also intend to roll out licensing deals to create High Times products, including rolling papers through RAW, and create community by connecting readers with cannabis social media influencers. The Wall Street Journal wrote, "Kesselman is candid about the magazine's prospects in an era of fractured media attention: He expects the magazine to lose money initially. He just hopes to pick up enough business with die-hard marijuana enthusiasts to eventually break even, he said." Kesselman plans to, "revive the publication that was a voice of counterculture for decades." The article also reported that Kesselman, "has already pumped an additional $1.85 million into jump-starting the magazine, covering costs including trademark fees and digitizing old content." "I know typically in business people have this whole plan," Kesselman said. "But the funny part, Matt and I always tell people, is we have no plan. The most important thing to us was to actually save High Times." The Wall Street Journal article states, "Trans-High Corp., or THC, the magazine's publisher since its 1974 founding, sold its assets to private-equity firm Oreva Capital in 2017. The new parent company, Hightimes Holding, entered into receivership in April 2024 and the website hasn't been updated in months. Its last print edition came out in September." "Kesselman, 54, was introduced to weed culture in High Times as a teen, when marijuana was illegal in the U.S., stashing a copy wrapped in brown paper away from his parents." The decision to bring back High Times' print issue by Kesselman and Stang is in line with a recent trend of publications expanding or reviving their print operations, including the Atlantic, the Onion and the Tablet.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - July 2, 2025) - Universal Processing (uP), a leading financial technology company dedicated to empowering underserved businesses across America, is looking towards the future after a star-studded grand opening of its Times Square headquarters.
