Creating an Amazing Experience from Consultation to I DO!
Wedding planning is an amazing career! We are privileged enough to work with couples on one of the most important days in their life. We live in a world of beauty and creativity that many envy.
That may be why there are new planners appearing left and right, who wouldn’t want to be in this fantastic career field!
Due to the fact that there is no required education or experience to print some business cards and throw up a website, sometimes you can find yourself competing with less experienced planners who will beat you on price every time. So, how do you compete?
The answer is that you don’t.
Instead you create a completely memorable experience for every couple that has a consultation with you. After you are hired, you continue to impress them with an amazing experience.
Before long, the word of mouth advertising from your past couples will help to elevate you above the crowd.

You do not need to incorporate all of these ideas into your business at once, but just add a few special touches here and there. It will be appreciated by your clients and also help them remember to recommend you when their friends get engaged in the future.
Remember that, for your couples this can be a very stressful time. The more joy and relief you provide, the more valuable you are as a wedding planner!
