WEDDING PROS

You know by now that building a thriving wedding business can take a TON of time...

...and it can leave you feeling like you're drowning in the overwhelm of all the work you need to do.

You’re getting a lot of things right: You’re providing an amazing service to the clients you have, networking to get yourself out there, and using social media to promote your work.

Each time you book a new client you do a little happy dance, but if you’re being really honest…you're working more hours than you ever did as an employee and sometimes you wonder if it’s even worth it.

Especially when everything feels like it's on fire all of the time.

You Find Yourself...

😩 Feeling completely overwhelmed by all of the things you have to do to run your business. You started this business because you love your craft but there is SO much more that has to get done!

⌚ Working 60+ hour weeks to take care of your clients and everything they need. You know you need help & you need to spend time working on your business. But who has time for that?

🫠 Feeling frustrated because you work hard all day & you're not getting the flexible, fun business you envisioned. You're already working so much that you're skipping meals and time with your family. This was NOT the plan.

There is a better way...

What if you could stop working insane hours in your wedding business and still be able to book the weddings you want?

How great would it feel to...

Grow your wedding business without working 60+ hour weeks or cutting your prices
Stand out from the sea of competition so you don't have to slash your prices to get booked
Stop wasting time on leads who ghost, flake, or were never a fit to begin with
Go from chasing ghosting leads to getting inquiries from couples who already know they want to work with you
Finally have a clear, simple process to get leads and bookings that doesn’t make you want to scream 😱

This is exactly what you’ll experience at Wedding Business CEO Summit

Meet Your Host

Heidi Thompson - Creator of The Wedding Business Collective

Hey! I’m Heidi Thompson and for the past 13 years I've been helping wedding professionals book more of their ideal clients and craft a business that gives them the life and freedom they want.

Here's What Wedding Pros Are Saying:

Got Questions? We've Got Answers

Is this only for wedding professionals?

It sure is! There are a lot of offerings out there for general business owners, but this one has been created specifically for wedding professionals and how they can build successful businesses without working insane hours. It’s safe to say that running a wedding business is unique and comes with its own unique challenges and by focusing on this industry specifically, we’re able to tackle them together!

When is this whole thing happening?

The main portion of the summit runs from February 16th-20th. We'll kick off on February 15th with an opening call and the Facebook community will be available right when you get your ticket!

How long will the videos be available?

Each video will be available for 24 hours, giving you time to watch at your convenience during the event. Want lifetime access? Upgrade to the All-Access Pass or Wedding Pro Power Pack to get lifetime access to all of the presentations, transcripts, and some really amazing bonuses.

Will all the speakers get my email address?

Ew, no way! The only person you'll get emails from after you sign up is me, Heidi. That's so you can get all the updates for the summit and links to each day's videos. After the summit is over, you'll continue to hear from me, but you can unsubscribe at any time.

As for the speakers, the only way your email address will be shared with them is if you opt-in for their freebie during their presentation. That way, you only hear from the people you really love and don't have to worry about getting added to 20+ email lists that you're not interested in.

Learn more in our Privacy Policy.

Are the presentations live?

To avoid tech glitches, save my sanity, and keep things easy for the speakers, the presentations are pre-recorded and will be released at the scheduled time. The live portion comes in with the speakers being in the Facebook group to answer your questions after their presentation is released!

BUT I will be hosting some special live virtual events throughout the summit that you'll find out about closer to the event!

Is this different from the last summit?

This is a brand new event and it's just like going to a conference this year as well as next year. It has new presentations, many new speakers, new topics, and new bonuses inside the Wedding Pro Power Pack. My goal is to always make this event better and more value-packed than the last!

Are your videos captioned or transcribed?

Yes. All presentations have closed captioning, and fully edited transcripts are also available for each presentation with our upgrade options that you’ll see after registering for the event.

Please reach out if there’s anything we can do to ensure you’re able to enjoy this event.

Are you still accepting speakers?

All of our speakers for this summit have been hand-picked and our slots are currently full. However, we're open to additional affiliates or potential speakers for our next summit. If you're interested in affiliate details or being considered for the next Book More Weddings Summit or Wedding Business CEO Summit, email [email protected]!

I still have questions!

No problem! Shoot an email over to [email protected] and we'll get back to you within 3 business days.
