Questions
Yes, I absolutely do! If you’re outside of our geographical area and can’t make it in person, reach out to me to find out when the next virtual intensive is or to get on my wait list. I’d love to work with you, no matter where you call home!
While a half-day intensive helps you get the most bang for your buck and walk away with a lot of smart strategies to supercharge your business, I understand that not everyone can start there. I do offer 1-on-1 hourly consult calls where you can ask me the questions that are keeping you up at night or share your struggles and get an actionable solution.
Not at all! Whether you’re a brand new wedding planner or are years into your business and feel stuck in the same position you were when you started, the half-day intensive is perfect for you! We will cover how to increase your revenue and pinpoint other strategic areas you can focus on to grow your business, based on where you’re at right now.
We compare schedules and pick a date within the next 6 weeks so you can start improving your business and seeing results right away.
