How to structure it
Opening
Name the role and, in one line, the strongest reason you're a fit. Skip the throat-clearing.
Middle
One or two paragraphs of real, specific evidence: what you did, and the result. This is where most letters go generic. Yours shouldn't.
Why this employer
One genuine, specific reason you want this job at this company, not any company. Vague enthusiasm reads as a template that wasn't customised.
Close
Thank them, note your resume is attached, and make it easy to reach you.
Re: Application for Wedding Planner
I'm applying for the wedding planner role with [Company Name]. Planning weddings is the work I've chosen to build a career around, and the part of it I'm strongest at is the unglamorous half: budgets that hold, suppliers who are briefed properly, and a run sheet that keeps the day moving when something shifts.
In my most recent season I carried two weddings on the same weekend with a shared supplier list. The Saturday ceremony was outdoors and rain was forecast, so on the Friday afternoon I confirmed an indoor backup with the venue, redrew the run sheet, and briefed the celebrant, photographer and florist on the revised order of events. The couple walked into a ceremony that started on time and nobody in the room knew there had been a change. Across that season I also rebuilt how I track quotes and deposits in HoneyBook, which meant couples were approving costs from a clear summary rather than a string of emails, and fewer final payments slipped through.
What draws me to [Company Name] specifically is [add one genuine, specific reason: a project, value, or market position you can point to]. I'd like to bring my planning and on-the-day coordination to a team whose work I already respect.
Thank you for considering my application. My resume is attached, and I'd welcome the chance to talk through how I'd approach your couples' planning season.
Getting it right
- Keep it to one page. A hiring manager spends seconds on this before deciding whether to read your resume.
- Address a named person where you can find one, rather than "To Whom It May Concern".
- Don't repeat your resume line for line. Use the letter to add context a bullet point can't: why this role, why now, why here.
- Match the tone of the job ad. A formal listing calls for a formal letter; a casual one gives you room to write more like yourself.
This is a starting point, not a guarantee of interviews. Make it specific to the actual employer before you send it.
