Starting a Home-Based Event/Wedding Planning Business. HELP PLEASE!!

Hello everyone!

My name is Emy and I reside in sunny Central Florida!

Due to where I live is the reason why I decided to start my own business as an Event/Wedding planner. There are wonderful venues and outdoor locations for weddings and events out here, and I think that is a major plus!

With that said, I have no idea where to start. 

Do I register with the county AND state being that is a 'home-based' business?

Would it be more benificial to do an S-Corp rather than a C-Corp or LLC?

Do I go the sunbiz.org to obtain a Federal ID number?

Are there organizations that provide assistance for Minority/Women seeking to start a business?

And how would I market myself? Since I am completely new to this, how do I convince someone, groups, couples, etc., to trust me with their most important event of the year? 

And last, how can I try to meet with vendors and discuss contracts? I believe that it would be important to have a great relationship with vendors so that they can provide you with competitive best pricing to help me provide a great offer to a potential client?

I hope some of you can provide me with helpful information to help me get out there and be the BEST!!

Thanks everyone!
