Event Planning Career

I have planned weddings and parties all my life and recently decided to make a career out of it. Because my experience is not professional but mostly for fun and having trouble finding employment in the field. I considered starting my own business but I don't even know what to charge for different service. I would love to find a job in the field of wedding and/or event planning. Does anyone have any suggestions or employment opportunities in the Maryland or Dc area.

Hello, I am looking to volunteer or be an intern with a wedding planner in MD/DC/VA on a part-time basis. I am new to the business and has always wanted to be a event planner, particularly wedding planning. I want to learn more and get hands on experience. Does anyone have any ideas?
