About this episode

I finally had a chance to go through the 2023 Real Weddings Report from WeddingPro (homebase for WeddingWire & The Knot) - and MAN, there were some BIG takeaways!! 🤯

 

Staying on top of wedding industry trends is an important part of being a wedding pro...but I'mn not talking things like what kinds of gowns brides are wearing, or flower styles, or even the size of weddings - I'm talking things like:

 

  • What couples want to hear (and see) from your wedding business
  • How engaged couples want to be communicated with
  • And even how we might need to pivot our businesses to meet some new needs

 

In today's episode, I'm sharing 5 of the biggest "WHOA!" moments from this recent report...listen in for some big insights for your wedding business marketing!

 

P.S.: Want to make a game plan for putting these things into action, and creating a wedding business that thrives no matter what the trends might be? Schedule a call with us and we'll help you with action items to start booking more weddings ASAP!
