Get the support you need to design the wedding business you want.
You’re stuck. You’re bored. And Google’s not showing you anything. All you wanna do is launch like a boss—instead of an amateur. Or, level up your wedding business, to six-figures, in your sweatpants.
SAY LESS, I’M IN ➝
FEATURED IN
As your business coach, I’ll give you the next steps, so you’re never guessing how to grow a profitable wedding business, at a sustainable pace that fits your lifestyle.
BTW, This pace is on purpose
It’s easy to fall in love with the wedding industry and get weak-kneed over the opportunity to build a creative livelihood, be your own boss, and break for snacks whenever you want...
But the butterflies soon fade when your revenue doesn’t reflect the hours you put in—the competition is only getting thicker—and you feel guilty about working around the clock on your “side hustle” or slacking on your childcare “shifts” one day and not being committed enough to your business the next. Been there, done that!
You don’t have to wonder how to reach your goals anymore.
My goal is to share my decades of industry experience and hard-won knowledge with you, so you have a clear plan for taking your wedding business to that next level you’re pining for without working 80 weddings a year.
Who do I work with?
SONIA
How Sonia launched like a pro and boosted average client budget by 67%:
When Sonia first joined Design Your Dream Wedding Business, we were starting from scratch. She dreamed of building something flexible and fulfilling before her maternity leave ended. With a clear strategy & systems, confidence, and a polished website and brand, she launched Solau Weddings & Events in 2021—and went full-time immediately.
Since then, Sonia’s business has flourished: she’s booked her dream venues, grown her average client budget by 67%, and raised her prices year after year. Today, she’s a mom of two running a thriving wedding business and hosting her own Wed Well Showcase in Simcoe-Muskoka — creating repeat income and freedom on her own terms.
ANDREEA
A fresh start that bloomed into her dream floral design business—meet Andreea:
After six years in business, wedding florist and mom of two, Andreea, was ready for a reset. A new city meant a new audience—and she wanted to attract clients who truly valued her work. Through coaching and mentorship she gained clarity on her niche, redefined her brand, and built an intentional marketing plan that worked for her season of life.
The transformation was huge: her average floral budget jumped 64%, she raised her minimums, and started booking regularly at top-tier GTA venues—all while creating more balance, stronger boundaries, and newfound confidence in her business.
LINDSAY
After six years in business, coaching helped double her prices and her confidence:
After launching her planning business in 2015, Lindsay was ready for her next chapter—one where she could confidently attract luxury clients and create the kind of weddings she truly loved to design and plan.
Through our work together, she redefined her business top to bottom. Including a new focus on her design offerings, and specialized in tented weddings—all while confidently raising her rates by 84%. Today, Lindsay Plank Events client budgets have doubled. She’s booking out each season, and collaborates with top-tier venues and vendors she once admired from afar.
Women just like you, ready for their next chapter.
This is how I support them…
With more than 25 years of event and wedding industry experience, I’ll snap you out of that romantic idealism (with love!) to offer a realistic perspective of the unique challenges you need to be prepared for.
Promotes organic marketing, built an 83k+ Pinterest following without any ad spend, and believes that you’ve got to show your personality (not just your work) to attract the clients you want most.
Knows all about the struggles of bouncing between boss life and mom life—and is out to prove that doing it all isn’t about doing it all a) perfectly or b) on your own.
Thinks “everyone has the same 24 hours” and cookie-cutter business advice is total BS, because we all have different goals, strengths, and circumstances we’re working with.
Encourages you to build your business around your lifestyle, not the other way around.
It’s time you leave behind the “Am I even doing this right?” moments. Less spiraling. More “I’ve got this!”
I’ll help you turn it all around.
i’m THE WEDDING BUSINESS COACH FOR
Ambitious wedding pros and planners like you who are ready to…
Start a wedding business with confidence, prepare to take your wedding business full-time with your sanity intact, or grow a more profitable and sustainable wedding business.
Stop spending all hours working IN your business and get clear on your bigger growth strategy, so all you have to do to create the results you want is follow your plan.
Design seamless processes that support your client-focused approach without wasting your money on fancy, complex software that isn’t required (yet or ever) and has a sucky ROI.
Audit your packages and pricing, so you can create offers that better suit your ideal client and desired lifestyle, especially when you need to work around nap times and childcare schedules.
Create a personalized marketing strategy that attracts more ideal clients, repels price-shoppers, and stands out from the boring portfolio-pushing all your samsie competitors focus on.
Together, we’ll clarify your goals, design your ideal life *and* business, and define your version of work-life balance
Based on your actual time reality, not the Monday-to-Friday-9-to-5 box you think you’re supposed to fit in.
When you know which levers to pull, to create your own version of a successful wedding business—better habits, routines and a layered marketing system—you’re spending your precious time with more intention and results.
Picture it:
You’re confidently updating your website
Protecting your calendar from exhausting red flag clients
Networking with like-minded colleagues
Curating your website and social media for the portfolio you’re proud of
Finally booking couples and wedding venues you love, again and again
Holding boundaries, and onboarding new clients, like the HBIC you really are
No more spinning wheels and self-doubt.
No more panic before each consultation call, or procrastinating on posting to social media, because you’re not sure you’ll nail it.
You’re done getting emotionally attached to each inquiry, because you’re clear on your goals, and the steps, strategies, and tools, essential to get you there.
