Personalized Coaching + Strategy
for Wedding Planners
You have an intense passion for planning events.
The fear of failure is very real.
I’ve been exactly where you are.
I’m here for you.
Cheering you on.
Giving your 1:1 personalized guidance.
Helping you get to that next level.
Removing the stumbling blocks holding you back.
You’ve Got This.
Wearing every hat.
Feeling exhausted.
I see you sitting at your desk
after 10 straight hours of work. Spinning your wheels but not moving forward.
Why Coaching Is Key
Coaching unsticks the stuck places, helps you create and achieve your own version of success, and kick starts big changes and little revolutions in your business.
Coaching delivers so much value, and the value stays with you forever. It gets results every single time.
The one thing you want to be sure of is that you choose a coach or mentor who has achieved what you want – who are living examples of the specific successes you desire for yourself. If you aren’t sure whether I am the best coach for what you need, simply get in touch through email or phone so we can chat about where you are struggling and/or what your goals are. I’d love to hear from you and answer your questions.
My superpower is compassion. During coaching sessions, I listen to hear what is between the words you say so I can figure out what you really need. This allows us to talk authentically about ideas, slow down your thoughts, and reframe problems so that you can make decisions from a position of trusting yourself. I sometimes find that what you think is the problem is not the actual problem.
When you work with me, you get perspective, support, education, and inspiration from a coach who gets where you’re at, cares where you’re headed, and shares your desire to create a successful, profitable, and sustainable planning business - on your terms.
Owning 3 different types of businesses in the wedding industry over the past 16 years has given me a unique combination of experience and knowledge to draw from. The process of selling two businesses in this industry has given me a powerful perspective as well. In addition to my work in the wedding industry, I have a background in personal growth and self-development which enables me to get to the core of what is holding you back so we can move through it quickly.
Helping others succeed in their dream career of wedding and event planning makes my heart sing and fuels my soul. I am doing exactly what I was meant to do.
with 16 years and 3 businesses in the event industry, Helping others succeed in their dream career of wedding and event planning makes my heart sing.

My philosophy
I meet you where you are at with business and life. You’ll never get any judgments from me.
You get personalized education, a confidential sounding board, encouragement, brutal honesty, and a healthy perspective for your unique situation.
I’ve had my fair share of ebbs and flows throughout my 14 years of running multiple businesses in the wedding industry.
If you are looking for a mentor who can help you get results faster and be your biggest cheerleader, I would be honored to work with you.
I love working with event planners (aspiring planners, new planners, and established planners) who have an intense drive and desire to learn and succeed.
You may be stuck or overwhelmed with where you are at and know you need an experienced coach on your side.
You are willing to work through your fears and do the work necessary to get to the next level, to start your own business, to take your business in a new direction, to get through a tough situation, or to reach your definition of success.
Who I work best with
"She has taken me to a level that did not seem possible to me."
"Debbie has been a blessing in my life and will always be that special “Gem” that you want to have with you forever. She is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and focused primarily on your success. Debbie has guided me in such an amazing way to become a successful local and international wedding planner. She has truly taken me to a level that did not seem possible to me. I cannot say enough about Debbie. I am truly blessed to have her as my mentor and will continue to seek her guidance as needed." Hazel Burgan

"one of the best business decisions I have made."
"I hired Debbie for coaching and mentoring sessions, and it has been one of the best business decisions I have made. Working with Debbie has given me the confidence I need to grow my business, and I don’t think it would be growing at the rate it is now if it weren’t for her guidance and expertise. I’m so thankful I found Debbie and Planner’s Lounge.
