Search algorithms and social media change in a flash. Before an engaged couple signs with you, they want to see that you “get it.” If your social media, website, or images need a refresh, they’ll simply say “Next!”. Be the planner that they envision.
Megan Gillikin, Owner, The Planner’s Vault + Weddings For Real
One-third of wedding couples hire a planner. The bigger the spend, the more likely they are looking for you. With over 80% of couples seeking a planner referral or positive review, the sales game has changed. How do you cultivate warm leads, build a network of venue referrals, and increase your closing rate?
Andrea Eppolito, Owner, Andrea Eppolito Events
The one-percenters are only a fraction of the market. Luxury isn’t the only niche that matters. Sometimes you have to meet your couples in the middle. How do you create high-end designs for mid-budget clients?
Kristin Banta, Owner, Kristin Banta Events
As a wedding planner, you are both a storyteller and a dreammaker. Your reputation demands that you produce unique, creative concepts with flawless execution. From luxury weddings to exclusive corporate galas, immersive premiere parties, and unforgettable brand activations, each event demands drama and impact.
Terrica, CEO, Terrica™ Inc and Wedding Pro Workshop™
If you have to bustle one more dress, you will scream. If the call to your DJ goes to voicemail again, you might throw your phone. If another wedding pro asks to be on your referral list, you might spontaneously combust. How do you leverage your planner expertise and minimize day-to-day headaches? If every weekend devoted to another couple’s love story isn’t your dream anymore, it may be time to delegate, expand, and reorganize your planner business.
Renee Dalo, Owner, Moxie Bright Events
Rent the chairs, confirm the couple’s toasts, double-check that everything is the desired Pantone shade of peach. As a planner, you manage more details than any other wedding specialty. All you have to sell is your expert time. Get paid for all the time you invest in each wedding.
Amber Anderson, Owner, Refine For Wedding Planners
No planner is safe. No wedding is immune. Sometimes nightmare weddings just happen. The venue floods. The DJ gets sick. The flowers arrive wilted. The cake gets knocked over. Your perfect plan turns into a nightmare. How do you react when you’re out of time? What do you do when your backup plans collapse, catch on fire, and burst into flames?
Margaux Fraise, Owner, Wedding Summit Series

Are you confident you aren’t eliminating clients who will become your greatest allies? Discover the warning signs you should look for so you don’t end up with badly-behaved clients.
