Is your 2025 calendar where you want it?
Yes, the wedding industry is slow. But that’s only an explanation - not an excuse - for why it’s harder to fill dates.
Business owners who update their sales workflow now will see the results they want in the future.

it's a crowded, noisy marketplace
Here are the Challenges We All Face in 2025
weddings are in a down market
your customers don't know how to buy
It’s not rainbows and unicorns like it was in 2022, so stop running your business with the same approaches you used a year or two ago.
Couples struggle to pick vendors, because they’ve never done this before. The best way for you to help is to educate yourself on what they need to know and when to share it.
couples don't prioritize weddings
Today’s couples are overwhelmed and overscheduled. Your job is to cut through the noise, reduce friction, and build interest to sign up for your services.
The #1 reason business owners fail to get enough bookings is because your marketing lacks messaging. Tune into your ideal clients’ trigger points to attract more inquiries.

What they're saying
Over the past 18+ years I’ve obsessed about how to book more couples at higher prices. Here’s the truth: It’s harder RIGHT NOW than any other time since the Great Recession in 2008-2010.
If you’ve been riding the tide, going with your gut, faking it till you make it, learning from mistakes, using trial and error, or simply throwing spaghetti at the wall for your sales and marketing plan, well…Good luck with that.
Instead, I suggest you actually learn what to do in key areas like social media, website and sales.
It’s surprisingly simple (if not easy) to find your way to success in 2025.
