    • Make sure to create some sort of system where people in your wedding will be able to enjoy as much as they can without worrying about the pandemic.
    • Weddings can sometimes blend together and feel too similar to each other. Practice the traditional or “essential” things, but don’t forget to put your own spin on it.
    • Paint your whole wedding with the fullness of both your personalities. Make your special day all the more special by going all out with creativity and unique ideas.
    • Choose a theme or color scheme intentionally. Choose something that’s meaningful for you rather than something that’s just popular or trendy.


    "I’ve always been one to encourage my couples to shake tradition if they feel like they want to… letting them have a ton of flexibility as we’re going with the planning but I feel like maybe even leaning into their priorities, vision, and interest and all that a little more.

Questions from this episode: How pricing is a value game Coordinating with the florist and other design tips Breaking down the décor What to do about wrinkles Key Takeaways: Pricing is a value game. If it takes you four hours to complete a task and you get a hundred bucks for it , start playing with those numbers mentally. Do you feel like what you get describes your value or the value of your time spent doing it? It’s up to you on how involved you want to be with the florist, but generally, the best thing to do is to include them in the design meetings and check in on them after. When people start dancing, slowly pull out items into one central location where they can be easily put in the bin. Once that’s done, tear down the décor sneakily. For example, if you’re taking table numbers, take from the tables with no people around them. Wrinkles are a problem. It would be a good idea to always bring a portable steamer and some distilled water in order to do damage control. After the event though, you have to talk to the supplier and if they’re giving wrinkled linens consistently, it’s time to find someone else. "We specifically like to design pockets. Don’t overdesign everything, just design a few key moments instead and the cost on décor can be a very slippery slope so be very strategic about it.

Jamie Wolfer 00:41:08 In this episode, Jamie and Heather discuss: Focusing on your interests and strengths The difference between planning and coordinating Partnering with other planners Going full virtual Key Takeaways: You’re allowed to change your mind. It is very much okay to cut out what is not working for you and lean into what is. It’s just a matter of focusing on where your strengths are. There’s a difference between a wedding planner and a wedding coordinator. A wedding coordinator does not plan the wedding, they coordinate the details that the client has already planned, executing it as close to what the client wants as possible. When you partner with other planners, you’ll be able to provide a service that they may not be able or equipped to provide in their package. An example of this is providing emotional support for the clients, not every wedding planner is qualified to do that. There is an option to go entirely virtual where the service you’ll provide is pure consultations. You’ll tell people how to plan the details, you help out alongside them. This would mean that you’ll also do advertising digitally. "You don’t have to do the whole J Lo version of a wedding planner. You can pick and choose what you like, what’s really easy for you, what your network opens up for you. It’s totally okay to pivot, adjust, and lean into what’s working and leave behind what’s not.

Email them at "info@theunionpodcast.com" with your thoughts or what has been working for you to build your business. In this episode, Jamie and Heather discuss: The best way to make sales Nobody likes spam A lead magnet that’s worth it Working hard and efficiently Key Takeaways: Email marketing is the best way to make sales as long as it comes from a place of a legitimate desire to give value to the people that trusted you with their email. Nobody likes spam. Commit to providing insightful, meaningful, and overall useful content to your email list. Treat them like they’re a paid client. Make sure that your lead generation/magnet content is a good representative of how useful your email list content would be. Work hard but work efficiently too. The best way to grow is to put systems in place and find a way where you’re not doing everything in your business, but instead focusing on your certain expertise.

Email them at "info@theunionpodcast.com" with your thoughts or what has been working for you to build your business. In this episode, Jamie and Heather discuss: The best way to make sales Nobody likes spam A lead magnet that’s worth it Working hard and efficiently Key Takeaways: Email marketing is the best way to make sales as long as it comes from a place of a legitimate desire to give value to the people that trusted you with their email. Nobody likes spam. Commit to providing insightful, meaningful, and overall useful content to your email list. Treat them like they’re a paid client. Make sure that your lead generation/magnet content is a good representative of how useful your email list content would be. Work hard but work efficiently too. The best way to grow is to put systems in place and find a way where you’re not doing everything in your business, but instead focusing on your certain expertise.

She explains how the psychology of your customers works and how to speak to them the right way to turn them from shoppers to buyers of your service. She gives you tools and resources that will help you as a new business owner that you can use right now! In this episode, Jamie, Heather and Aleya discuss: The Hero’s Journey marketing model Clarifying your message Getting an outsider’s perspective Making the focal point of your story Key Takeaways: You are not the hero in the story, it’s your client. Position yourself as the guide that holds the solution to the hero’s problems. Clarify your message so that anyone can understand what you’re talking about. Don’t talk in archaic, abstract language. Tell your clients what problems you solve, how you solve it, and how they can contact you. If you believe you aren’t talking about yourself or your business in the best way possible, then you have to know that it’s okay to let go and let someone help. Someone with an outside perspective might be better able to see it than you. One of the most important parts of your brand’s story is your “why”. Your why is what makes your brand story connect to your client on an emotional level.

She talks about how she is making changes in the industry and how others working with weddings can to do the same. They talk about how wedding industry leaders need to start acknowledging beautiful weddings on a budget and show how that is the norm. About Suki: Suki is a 1st gen Thai/Cambodian American comedy screenwriter and assistant editor of Offbeat Bride. She loves exploring the intersections of diversity, culture, and money in the wedding industry on her account @2buckchuckbride. In this episode, Jamie, Heather and Suki discuss: The stigma of “low-budget” Talking about the real stuff Creating epic weddings despite the budget Trying out something different Key Takeaways: Want to have a beautiful wedding and still have enough resources to get you started in your new life? You can have it both ways by planning a low-budget wedding. We need to talk about the real stuff in wedding planning like pricing and budget - not just about what to buy, but what to do and how to make the most out of your resources. With a little creativity, you can pull off a wedding successfully without having to overspend. You might even find it very empowering and more satisfying than if you were to do otherwise. There’s nothing wrong with mixing things up in your wedding and surprising your guests and yourselves with new and exciting ways to celebrate your big day.

She talks about strategies for creating and maintaining boundaries with your clients and how to setup clear expectations from the start. Margaux also talks about how a life-changing event caused her to re-evaluate her life and business goals to support the life she wanted to live. About Margaux Fraise: She is the owner + creative director of Harmony Creative Studio, an award-winning boutique wedding firm in Los Angeles, CA. A Stage IV breast cancer survivor, she has a unique perspective on what is truly valuable in love, life and weddings – and brings that viewpoint to help her clients hone in on what matters to them. As a result, her work has been featured in numerous publications, including Style Me Pretty, Brides, and Green Wedding Shoes, among others. Margaux serves as a wedding business educator, frequent podcast guest and motivational speaker. Her meticulous onboarding, planning, design and execution procedures have also caught the attention of her peers, and she shares insight regularly on efficient systems for creatives.In this episode, Jamie, Heather and Margaux discuss: Covering your bases in regards to harassment Diving into your community Keep repeating yourself Key Takeaways: Don’t endure harassment from clients. Include abuse and safe environment clauses in your contract where you’re able to leave if you feel uncomfortable or are unsafe since a lot of people get drunk on wedding events and that often brings out bad behavior in people. Open yourself up to connecting with people that are in the same industry as you because doing otherwise wouldn’t be sustainable. Find a community, meet people, and start relationships. Don’t get tired of repeating yourself. You’ve got a message to put out there and it won’t reach the right people in just one or two tries. Somebody new will always see your message as something new. "I was one of those people that was like, 'I can't be friends with other wedding planners, I don't want them to know what I'm doing - what I'm charging', it was that kind of mentality which sounds okay until you realize that the wedding industry is small and life is long and that's not sustainable." —  Margaux Fraise In this episode Jamie and Heather talk to Margaux Fraise about how the transition from being an event planner to a small business coach.

After getting engaged, she found that there weren't a lot of spaces that fit her very beautiful and unique relationship. Certain "traditions" did not work with her love story and she wasn't about to settle for anything less than what her partner and she deserved. The wedding industry has still not created the space that her community needs to showcase their love stories. In the midst of planning her own wedding, she still faced vendors calling her partner and her “the groom”, over explaining to people that this was a “same sex relationship”, and even worse — vendors saying they couldn’t work with her. She figured that enough was enough and that no other couple should go through what she went through. Thus, The Gay Agenda was formed!In this episode, Jamie, Heather and Zabrina Zablan discuss: The reward of going through hardships Being intentional and mindful Creating a long lasting impact The key to consistent creativity Key Takeaways: Hardships and uncertainty will force you and your team to grow and learn new things that you may not have considered before.

In the same way, recommend only the stuff that you actually recommend even if they don't pay you - but if they pay you, that would just be a bonus. Think about content that’s useful with the affiliate tied up into it - with a reasonable amount of advertising only. Don’t go too hard on your advertising and don’t make it uninteresting. Make sure that there’s some sort of way to keeping track of and informing the partner about how many you’re sending their way Share your testimonies about the affiliate, yours and others. Don’t just give out a discount code, give the people the reasons why you love that particular business or product. " It should be a ‘heck yes I’m so excited to work with them’ or ‘no, not for me’.

Make sure that there’s some sort of way to keeping track of and informing the partner about how many you’re sending their way Share your testimonies about the affiliate, yours and others. Don’t just give out a discount code, give the people the reasons why you love that particular business or product. " It should be a ‘heck yes I’m so excited to work with them’ or ‘no, not for me’. You can’t lean into something like this and it’s not 100% authentic." —  Heather Fier false full 98     c31aab5e-c863-42bb-84a6-9b8af1acdea4 Creating an Incredible Client Experience with Lynne Reznick Connect with  Lynne Reznick:

Make it short and sweet, and put a quick call to action in the end. A good and simple call to action can be to tell them to like, share, and more importantly, comment and answer to a question related to your content as a way of simple engagement. Your advantage if you’re a small business is that, unlike big businesses, you can engage directly with the people that comment on your content. If you want to get fresh ideas for content, you can read some good content from the internet and be inspired.

The collective specializes in planning weddings and events for the LGBTQ+ community and their allies. The business was started with the intent to create space for the queer community and change the way we approach weddings as a whole. Zabrina truly believes that every love story deserves a happy ending and intends on making couples' wildest dreams come true (without breaking the bank!). In this episode, Heather and Zabrina Zablan discuss: Planning and going to destination weddings Challenges to overcome when planning for a destination weddings Reminders for doing destination weddings Micro destination weddings trends and benefits Key Takeaways: When inviting people for a destination wedding, you have to invite them in a similar way to how you’d invite them if you’re all going on a vacation together. Give them time to save and plan. Have a realistic perspective when having a destination wedding is needed. Not everyone you invite will see it as a feasible thing to do, and it’s not because they don’t love you but it’s just that it doesn’t work for them. You don’t have to know the whole history and whole culture of the place you’re going to go to. If you’re coming from a place of wanting to respect, you shouldn’t have any problem. Micro-weddings are not just more financially viable and pandemic-proof, but there’s a lot of venues that wouldn’t have been feasible with a big wedding group. Intimate weddings allows for more possibilities. "Research and respect… research like you’re planning a trip… and the intention of why. Would you be mindful of the space? Would you check in to see what they’re comfortable with? If you wanna come in, you’re gonna want to have the same respect that you would if you were walking into someone’s house" —  Zabrina Zablan Zabrina is the owner of "The Gay Agenda Collective."

She is also the co-owner of Just Engaged University. Yvette owns Pop-Up Wedding Houston, another events and wedding company and is also the co-owner of Just Engaged University. In this episode, Jamie, Heather, Geovanna and Yvette discuss: How wedding planners can cope with changes due to the Pandemic What pop-up weddings are all about Having great relationship and connection with your clients Advantage for wedding planners and couples to do a pop-up wedding Key Takeaways: Weddings can still happen in the pandemic, it just needs a bit of innovation and adjustment. The pandemic actually gave a good excuse to hold a small wedding, thus saving a lot of money for couples everywhere to start their new life together. Be with your clients from the beginning and all the way. Think about what need and how you can serve them. It doesn’t make sense these days to spend an extravagant amount of money to hold your wedding and a lot of couples understand that. That’s why pop-up weddings are a great venture for wedding planners. “Pop-up weddings, it’s going to be the home of safe and intimate weddings, it’s what we’re promoting and it’s what we’re going to be doing going forward and I think that that’s what couples want.

Get a styled shoot ready to go ASAP, or get photos from your own wedding if possible without showing any faces. If neither works for you, use stock photos without people. If you want to reject a client with a personality conflict, you can always blame it on your schedule that you won’t be able to work with them. Or say, “we’re unavailable for your event”. For the best way, put an “out” clause in your contract. If you’re writing an email to a difficult client, acknowledge your feelings. If you’re angry, take a step back and recalibrate your emotions, come back to it later and think about what is the best way to deal with the problem.

In this episode, Jamie, Heather and Kevin discuss: Growing a business from passion Transitioning from working on a food truck business to a catering service Persistence and resilience in growing a business through various struggles Advise that you need to hear if you’re a budding entrepreneur Key Takeaways: Big things start unexpectedly, often they start from what you’re truly passionate about. Being an entrepreneur can be lonely sometimes. What’ll really help you grow your dream business is having someone who supports you and believes in your dream. Building your dream business can take a sickening amount of trial and error but as long as you’re always moving forward in an upward trajectory staying resilient through all the failures, you’ll be successful. Think about what you need to innovate, what you’ll have to try to reach the goal. "Persistence over failures is really the only recipe. Failing often has been our path, that was a critical step.

She can teach you how to transform your wedding drama into the best marriage prep around. With a masters in Social Work and Life Coaching Certification from Martha Beck Inc. (Oprah's Life Coach), Kara combined her passion for helping smart, savvy women with her childhood love of weddings to carve out her own category in the industry. Based in Bethesda, MD with her husband Reza and daughters Magnolia and Rose, Kara serves clients all over the country. In this episode, Jamie, Heather and Kara discuss: What is a bridal coach and what does it take to become one? Dealing with unmet expectations in an emotionally-charged time. Broken engagements and broken marriages Dealing with post-wedding blues Key Takeaways: Weddings can be too much and too often, the married couple don’t really get to be present and enjoy the most awaited moment of their life because of the stress. A couple of conversations with a bridal coach could be enough to save the day. People that you thought would be there for you might not be, and that can cause a lot of frustration. It’s better to have a broken engagement than a broken marriage. Don’t suffer in silence, talk it out with someone so that you can enjoy your special day. It takes more energy to resist the drama than to just commit to addressing it.

Design trends today in the pandemic and what they might be in the future. Design tip 1: picking a venue. Design tip 2: doing DIY for everything in your wedding. Design tip 3: designing for clients with themes. Design tip 4: making the design more affordable. Key Takeaways: Ask about your client's general vibe, theme or what they're interested in, then you can start looking for venues. Don't overdesign. Focus on key areas to save money and inform your photographer and client to focus on those areas. When doing DIY, think about these: do you have a place to store stuff? Do you have the time and energy? Are you actually saving money by doing DIY, or are you spending too much on materials? Incorporate logic and concern for safety when designing, for example, in case of fire. Think about how much input your client wants from you when designing and knowing your boundaries. Get inspired! There are a lot of ideas around you that are waiting to be applied in your client's dream wedding. "You need to let spaces breathe. There needs to be relief for the eye. There needs to be sections that are well decorated, that draw your eye in.

What wedding guests really care about and what they don’t Key Takeaways: Find something that’s owned by the local city or the state when looking for a venue, it’s bound to be astronomically cheaper than other locations. Know your priorities to know where you should spend your time (doing DIY) and where you should spend your money. Guests don’t really care much about the color of your designs, they won’t remember it or pay too much attention to it. Consider the guests’ basic needs.

    ]]>     A Wedding Business We Never Knew Existed with Ash Moore Jamie Wolfer 00:38:57 About Ash Moore: She is the owner, dog attendant and Director of Belly Rubs at Black Dog & Company. She is a Certified Wedding Planner through The Wedding Planners Institute of Canada (WPIC). You can expect to see her at your wedding accompanying your dog when you book with Black Dog & Company. In this episode, Jamie, Heather and Ash discuss: Bringing your furry best friend in one of the most important days of your life - your wedding day Logistical challenges when bringing in a pup for a wedding day Some challenges with people as a wedding planner and dog attendant The downsides to being a “Director of Belly Rubs” (if any!) Key Takeaways: Our pets are part of our family and the meaningfulness of the wedding increases if our furry best friends are included and taken care of during the wedding day Being a dog attendant in weddings is mostly balancing energy levels. Wedding days are high energy, super fun and stressful. The dogs are often feeding off the energy that the humans are giving off. Make sure that somebody trustworthy and reliable is always attending your dog when at weddings. As a wedding planner, remember that if a couple includes a dog in their wedding, that’s probably because their dog is very special to them and thus they deserve a special kind of service. "This isn’t like a ‘tuck and roll, fido gets out of the car, ‘bye, have a great wedding day’’ situation. I would never treat someone’s dog like that and if someone treated my dog like that, we’re gonna have some words." — Ash Moore About Ash Moore: She is the owner, dog attendant and Director of Belly Rubs at Black Dog & Company.

    ]]>     Learning From An Angry Wedding Client | Wedding Planning Business Tips Jamie Wolfer 00:56:31 In this episode, Jamie, and Heather discuss: What led up to the issue of the angry client. Then, they talk about the ten bullet points in an angry email, the client’s unrealistic expectations of what's in the responsibility list of the wedding planner and how the wedding is supposed to be. Communicating to your client what’s within your control and area of responsibility and how that might relieve them of any unrealistic expectations, like vendor issues and how clients may sometimes place the blame on the wrong people. Key Takeaways: For some clients, you have to make it clear what’s within and beyond your area of responsibility. Some clients, even if they hire wedding planners, are not willing to let go of the organizing process - which is only going to stress the clients out and get in the way of the planner. You have to communicate perfectly, otherwise, people will just assume that it’s the wedding planner’s fault. The best take-away from this angry email experiencer is that, as wedding planners, we have to make a literal list of things to set our boundaries on - to make  sure there won’t be any misunderstanding or unrealistic expectations.

Clint is a well–known and respected personality in the Wedding Industry. Reverend Clint Hufft began officiating wedding ceremonies in 1995.  Each ceremony is unique because the couple is "hands on" during the entire ceremony creation process. Every detail connected to the ceremony is addressed.  As a Non-Denominational Officiant, Rev. Clint has been blessed to marry hundreds of couples from all over the world. The variety of backgrounds, traditions, cultures and Spiritual beliefs is astounding. No matter what the ceremony contains, the true magic is in the eyes of each couple as they pledge their love and commitment to each other. About JP Reynolds: JP is a non-denominational, cross-cultural, inter-faith officiant. He has officiated over 1,000 ceremonies during the past 20+ years. He's written three wedding books including the best-selling, "How To Officiate a Non-Denominational Wedding Ceremony." He is also a corporate communications coach and trainer. In this episode, Jamie, Heather, JP and Clint discuss: What wedding planners do that make officiant's jobs harder and what they can do to make it easier The more important things to consider when it comes to wedding planning How you should treat your team Some tips that veteran officiants could give to their younger selves Key Takeaways: Acknowledge that you are a part of the team The bottom line is making the couple’s dream celebration come true Even the perfect picture or perfect set-up can bring back the worst memories - focus on making the couple and guest’s experience more Always consider the well-being of your team just as much as the event itself "Your preconceived notions of what a wedding is supposed to be… isn’t going to be true 50% of the time.

    ]]>     Art, Weddings, & Business Growth with Scarlett Baily | Wedding Planning Business Tips Jamie Wolfer 00:45:50 About Scarlett Baily: Scarlett Baily is a Chicana visual artist specializing in murals, portraiture, and illustration. Working on a large scale and often to a public audience, Baily’s work draws attention to the nuances of culture with an intent to preserve diversity. Through unexpected artistic encounters, Baily hopes to bring communities together to evoke critical thinking and curiosity. The long sinuous lines and gestural minimalism that mark Scarlett’s style, recall her fashion background while nodding to street art and mid-century urban propaganda. Baily’s art is visible from Madison Avenue, New York City, to the outdoor walls of the largest market in the world- Central de Abastos in Mexico City, as well as various street art installations worldwide. Recently, the Society of Caricature Artists of México has inaugurated Baily. Currently, Baily is contributing illustrator for Design Hunter Magazine and Director of Galería La Óptica - an alternative space exhibiting female artists, and founder of @MujeresMuralistas, a visual archive of female muralists in Mexico.In this episode, Jamie, Heather, and Scarlett discuss: Fun interactive activities to relate to the guests while helping them relax. Working to understand how you will find clients and how they will find you. Knowing your worth and setting goals for monetary expansion. Recognizing and establishing healthy boundaries. Key Takeaways: Never compromise or sell yourself short by taking jobs that will not financially support your dream. Be clear and transparent about your pricing and policies. Not everything will happen overnight, at the start, learn to be happy with just having something to do tomorrow. Ask plenty of questions and plan for all outcomes in your contract so that you are covered if you and your client should need to move in different directions.

    ]]>     An Additional 5-Figure Revenue Stream for Your Wedding Business with Brandon Wong Jamie Wolfer 00:31:42 About Brandon Wong: Born with an entrepreneurial spirit, Brandon began his first business in college with his future wife, Katrina Santos. They chose the creative industry of wedding photography, and it took off... literally. The jetsetters found themselves photographing nuptials in Australia, Mexico, Singapore, Canada, and all over the US. Shortly after graduating college, their business had surpassed six figures in profit. Finding it difficult to scale a service-based business, Brandon and Katrina decided to invest in an automated photographer, a photobooth. So, the pair spent their entire life savings to attend WPPI, the world's largest wedding photography convention as a vendor selling their first invention: The Legacy Booth. The wildly successful show gave birth to Photobooth Supply Co, and Brandon immediately used the earnings to purchase a wedding ring for Katrina. In this episode, Jamie, Heather, and Brandon discuss: Photos booths for every event. Logistics: generate demand and generate leads. Diversify your photography and your audience. Quick, easy, cheap way to build your income. Key Takeaways: Lead generation from photo delivery to personal devices. Quick, touchless set up with fun filters to spice up your party. Merging the in person event with the virtual event by creating a photo album that includes each audience. Utilize trade shows to generate interest and increase sales. "We don’t just sell a photo booth, we sell a business in a box.” —  Brandon Wong About Brandon Wong: Born with an entrepreneurial spirit, Brandon began his first business in college with his future wife, Katrina Santos.

Branding with visuals, voice, and experience that create connection and reputation. To make a brand successful you must first determine what is successful for your business.

She developed WedBrilliant as a solution to simplify the wedding planning process and help couples select the right vendors for their special day. WedBrilliant is FREE for all couples to use and post all their wedding needs for vendors to bid on. Vendors pay a nominal monthly or annual fee, but our primary goal is really to make these connections, help wedding pros find new clients, and help all the brides and grooms out there cross "to-do's" off their wedding planning lists. In this episode, Jamie, Heather, and Melissa discuss: Using the Wedbrilliant platform to enter bids as a vendor to provide services at that couple’s wedding. Using the Wedbrilliant platform to reach a more targeted group of vendors or clients. Saving time and minimizing leg work while planning your wedding. The process of getting started with Wedbrilliant Key Takeaways: Lead with transparency and then work out the details with your clients. Sell gift cards now to help keep a 2020 revenue stream and then people can redeem them later. Platforms like Wedbrilliant enable vendors to access clientele throughout the country. Take a critical look at your social media and your website to keep everything looking fresh and updated.

The company's mission is to help shift the stigma on cannabis by offering a series of innovative, healthy, and sophisticated approaches to social cannabis consumption, and foster a community of like-minded individuals who enjoy, consume, and want to learn more about cannabis and its many benefits. Dan spearheads and oversees business development and operations- such as securing key partnerships, collaborations, customer acquisition, and sponsors. All with an eye toward ensuring the highest quality experience for his customers. In this episode, Jamie, Heather, and Dan discuss: Cannabis as part of the wedding industry. Legally incorporating cannabis into private events, and any events that don't sell tickets at the door. Cannabis as a healthier and safer option than alcohol with fewer side effects. Providing ancillary services such as projection mapping and visuals, immersive technology, virtual reality, and live music to enhance the experience. The necessity of the vendor or venue carrying cannabis insurance. Having both THC and CBD products on hand. Key Takeaways: Smoke-free services that can be used in many applications, eliminate the smell and elevate the event creating more classiness and sophistication. Preparing for an event with cannabis: Know your crowd and their preference. Know how to handle the crowd. Local government rules and regulations. Tailor the effects desired for the event, making sure you have enough product and proper potency. Make sure your venue is cannabis-friendly and understand rules/restrictions. For the do-it-yourself option, clearly mark all cannabis products, and do not allow the products around children. Having a bud-tender is the best practice. Serve only micro-dosed products with 2.5-5mg of THC. This will give the consumer the ability to consume more than one product. Buy legal cannabis products. This ensures a lab-tested product with no pesticides and heavy metals and clear potency measurements.

    ]]>     The Wedding Industry Can Do Better, #UnityThroughCommunity Town Hall By Terrica Skaggs Jamie Wolfer 02:34:47 At a time when the issue of racial inequality is making airwaves across the nation, people from all walks of life are called in to make a stand, and those in the wedding industry are no exception. A true leader in the industry, Terrica Skaggs is an award-winning planner and leading the movement for #UnityThroughCommunity. In June 2020, she brought together an exceptional line up of wedding industry professionals for a town hall called "Healing Wounds & Bridging Gaps: An Honest Conversation about Race and Allyship in the Wedding Industry." Jamie Wolfer and Heather Loree Fier were both inspired by the town hall conversation, as were over 2,000 other wedding professionals. It is a great eye-opener to the myriad issues associated with racial inequality and the movement against oppression. With Terrica's blessing, they are sharing the audio from the town hall, so the message can be amplified. Terrica will be hosting an additional town hall focused on the action plan for the industry in the coming weeks. Jamie & Heather encourage listeners to follow her social media account for more detail. At a time when the issue of racial inequality is making airwaves across the nation, people from all walks of life are called in to make a stand, and those in the wedding industry are no exception. A true leader in the industry, Terrica Skaggs is an award-winning planner and leading the movement for #UnityThroughCommunity. In June 2020, she brought together an exceptional line up of wedding industry professionals for a town hall called "Healing Wounds & Bridging Gaps: An Honest Conversation about Race and Allyship in the Wedding Industry." Jamie Wolfer and Heather Loree Fier were both inspired by the town hall conversation, as were over 2,000 other wedding professionals. It is a great eye-opener to the myriad issues associated with racial inequality and the movement against oppression. With Terrica's blessing, they are sharing the audio from the town hall, so the message can be amplified. Terrica will be hosting an additional town hall focused on the action plan for the industry in the coming weeks.

    ]]>     Creating Joy for Clients as a Wedding Pro with Chantelle Hartshorne Jamie Wolfer 00:43:21 About Chantelle: The daughter of Canadian small business owners, Chantelle began her career at age 17 as the in-house makeup artist for a hair salon in Sidney, BC. Chantelle has spent the last 18 years blending beauty with business. In 2014, bringing her understanding of startup culture and the evolution of the beauty industry to the table, she joined the STYLEBEE founding members team. As a celebrity makeup artist, Chantelle has styled such notables as Seal and Emmanuelle Chriqui among countless others. As a businesswoman Chantelle sat on a White House Business Council panel and as the Creative Director of STYLEBEE Chantelle has blended her multifaceted background to build an international network of over 3,000 beauty professionals. Chantelle says “As a STYLEBEE creative director am I able to utilize every skill I possess and then some! Everyday in a startup is an incredible learning/growth experience.” In this episode, Jamie, Heather and Chantelle discuss: Not signing a contract first. Ask questions, develop a relationship, and know how you feel about the person first. Being an easy client sometimes can create problems in the end by not asking the right or enough questions. Communication between an artist and the bride is vital. Find inspiration that has the same skin tone, hair tone, hair texture that you have and provide them for your artist. Be realistic. The inspiration you bring may not work for you. Key Takeaways: When you are spending money you have a right to ask questions and make suggestions. Always ask for example photos of previous work that compares to your features. It’s ok to not be able to provide a service you just need to be up front and honest. Refer her to someone who fits with her and can provide that service. Stylebee handles the logistics, booking, management, and payments for the services you are looking for, or provide.

Why the extra fee? Prep time, clean up time, behind the scenes work, etc. Vendor Marketing: Are you inadvertently creating a bigger wedding tax? Are these leads from these big expensive platforms a reliable lead? What is your cost per client acquisition with your marketing platform? Urge clients to look for how vendors are advertising and if those costs rollover. Key Takeaways: “Wedding tax,” these fees are added to compensate the vendors for the additional time and communication spent with wedding couples. Advertising, bridal shows, and some marketing platforms are expensive. Those expenses are then made up by charging more to the clientele. Some big marketing platforms can create big expenses, competitiveness, anxiety, stress, and are not beneficial for the most part. This could lead to you to unintentionally add a “wedding tax” to your overall costs. What is your overall cost per acquisition? If it’s high look at different ways to market and get leads for less money. Shift your business away from paying for advertising that isn’t very beneficial and create your own advertising.
