The Wedding Marketing Mistake That Attracts The Wrong Clients
👉 Want to finally break free from The Knot and WeddingWire without losing leads? Save your seat for this free training.You redid your website for the third time. You posted more, showed up more, hustled harder. And somehow you're still fielding the same price objections from the same wrong-fit people.Here's the wedding marketing mistake nobody talks about: you don't have a visibility problem. You have a foundation problem. And no amount of Instagram strategy, Pinterest boards, or SEO can fix messaging that isn't speaking to the right person in the first place.In this episode, I break down why more marketing actually makes a messaging problem worse, not better, and walk through a real story of a photographer who kept rewriting her pricing page when pricing was never the issue.Get all the links from this episode: http://evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/368Apply for Perfect Fit Clients here: http://evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/fit———I’m hosting a free live class: Break Up With The Knot & WeddingWire (Without Losing Leads)We’ll cover why many wedding pros feel their directory listings aren’t delivering like they once did, what’s actually working for bookings right now, and how to create a marketing system that puts you back in the driver’s seat.Grab your free seat at evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/breakup———Find Heidi: Instagram (send a DM!)The Wedding Business Collective 🩵 (get your first month for $1)Ghosted Lead Booking Wizard 👻Wedding Business Shop 🛍️Free Training: Break Up With WeddingWire + The Knot Without Losing Leads 💔Free Audio Training: Inside Profitable Six-Figure Wedding Businesses: What They Do That You Don’t (So You Can Grow & Scale Too) 👀Case Study: Wedding Planner Marketing That Works – How Katie Sautter Booked 15 Weddings in Her First Year 🔍The Knot & WeddingWire: Are They Worth It For Wedding Vendors?🤔

Why Your Marketing Isn't Attracting The Right Wedding Clients
👉 Want to finally break free from The Knot and WeddingWire without losing leads? Save your seat for this free training.You're booking weddings. You're making money. And you still wrap up almost every project thinking "I wish they were all like that one."Then the next inquiry rolls in. Someone wants the same thing but cheaper. Someone ghosts the second you send pricing. Someone books and spends the next six months making you question why you do this job at all.Here's the thing nobody tells you: that's not a lead problem. You don't need more wedding clients. You need the right ones, and that's a completely different fix. In this episode, Heidi breaks down why "post more, be more consistent, run more ads" makes a fit problem worse, not better, and what actually changes when your marketing starts speaking to the person instead of describing the service.Get all the links from this episode: http://evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/367———I’m hosting a free live class: Break Up With The Knot & WeddingWire (Without Losing Leads)We’ll cover why many wedding pros feel their directory listings aren’t delivering like they once did, what’s actually working for bookings right now, and how to create a marketing system that puts you back in the driver’s seat.Grab your free seat at evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/breakup———Find Heidi: Instagram (send a DM!)The Wedding Business Collective 🩵 (get your first month for $1)Ghosted Lead Booking Wizard 👻Wedding Business Shop 🛍️Free Training: Break Up With WeddingWire + The Knot Without Losing Leads 💔Free Audio Training: Inside Profitable Six-Figure Wedding Businesses: What They Do That You Don’t (So You Can Grow & Scale Too) 👀Case Study: Wedding Planner Marketing That Works – How Katie Sautter Booked 15 Weddings in Her First Year 🔍The Knot & WeddingWire: Are They Worth It For Wedding Vendors?🤔

The Instagram Strategy Wedding Pros Need to Book More Clients
👉 Want to finally break free from The Knot and WeddingWire without losing leads? Save your seat for this free training.You're posting. You're trying to be consistent. You know your couples are on Instagram and you know you're supposed to show up there. And yet somehow none of it is actually translating into leads or bookings.If that's you, you are not alone. And it's not your fault. Nobody taught you how to make Instagram actually work for your business. They just told you to post more.In this episode I'm joined by Elizabeth Marberry, Instagram marketing strategist and host of the Strut It podcast, who breaks down exactly what's missing between showing up on Instagram and actually getting couples to reach out. We get into why one piece of content can do three jobs at once, how DM automation works and why it's a game changer for busy wedding pros, why your Instagram Stories are where the warm leads are hiding, and why the leads and sales are happening in the DMs, not on your website contact form.Get all the links from this episode: http://evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/366———I’m hosting a free live class: Break Up With The Knot & WeddingWire (Without Losing Leads)We’ll cover why many wedding pros feel their directory listings aren’t delivering like they once did, what’s actually working for bookings right now, and how to create a marketing system that puts you back in the driver’s seat.Grab your free seat at evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/breakup———Find Heidi: Instagram (send a DM!)The Wedding Business Collective 🩵 (get your first month for $1)Ghosted Lead Booking Wizard 👻Wedding Business Shop 🛍️Free Training: Break Up With WeddingWire + The Knot Without Losing Leads 💔Free Audio Training: Inside Profitable Six-Figure Wedding Businesses: What They Do That You Don’t (So You Can Grow & Scale Too) 👀Case Study: Wedding Planner Marketing That Works – How Katie Sautter Booked 15 Weddings in Her First Year 🔍The Knot & WeddingWire: Are They Worth It For Wedding Vendors?🤔

Should You Go After Luxury Weddings? Here's My Honest Answer
👉 Want to finally break free from The Knot and WeddingWire without losing leads? Save your seat for this free training.There is a narrative going around in this industry that luxury is the goal. That if you're exhausted, undercharging, or working too hard for what you're getting paid, the answer is to move upmarket. Raise your prices. Get better clients. Go luxury.I get why that sounds appealing. And I'm here to tell you it might be one of the most misleading things we say to each other.Going after luxury weddings isn't a promotion. It's building a completely different business from scratch. And if you do it for the wrong reasons, which a lot of people are, it's going to make your situation worse, not better.This episode is my honest take on the luxury market, who it's actually right for, who it isn't, what really changes when you move into it, and what to do instead if your current business isn't performing the way you want it to.Get all the links from this episode: http://evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/365———I’m hosting a free live class: Break Up With The Knot & WeddingWire (Without Losing Leads)We’ll cover why many wedding pros feel their directory listings aren’t delivering like they once did, what’s actually working for bookings right now, and how to create a marketing system that puts you back in the driver’s seat.Grab your free seat at evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/breakup———Find Heidi: Instagram (send a DM!)The Wedding Business Collective 🩵 (get your first month for $1)Ghosted Lead Booking Wizard 👻Wedding Business Shop 🛍️Free Training: Break Up With WeddingWire + The Knot Without Losing Leads 💔Free Audio Training: Inside Profitable Six-Figure Wedding Businesses: What They Do That You Don’t (So You Can Grow & Scale Too) 👀Case Study: Wedding Planner Marketing That Works – How Katie Sautter Booked 15 Weddings in Her First Year 🔍The Knot & WeddingWire: Are They Worth It For Wedding Vendors?🤔

Not even close.My guest today is Becca Pountney, a brilliant marketing mind from the UK and someone I've been meaning to get on this podcast for way too long. She has a framework that perfectly captures how couples actually move through your marketing right now, and it's called the Marketing Theme Park.In this episode we break down her SCREAM framework.

How to Book More Weddings With Clients You Love
👉 Want to finally break free from The Knot and WeddingWire without losing leads? Save your seat for this free training.Four weeks ago we started talking about the booking problem most wedding pros have but can't quite name. We looked at the data. We dug into why bride isn't an identity and why the ideal client avatar exercise is just a guessing exercise with a fake name on it.Today is the payoff episode.Your best clients already hold everything you need to build marketing that actually works. The words they used when they were searching for someone like you. What made them certain you were the right choice. What they were actually worried about at 2am before they ever reached out. That's the foundation of a marketing strategy that doesn't require you to guess, hope, or post more into the void.This episode is about what happens when wedding pros stop guessing and start asking. And it's the episode I've been building toward for a month.Grab your copy of Clone Your Best Clients at https://evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/cloneGet all the links from this episode: http://evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/363———I’m hosting a free live class: Break Up With The Knot & WeddingWire (Without Losing Leads)We’ll cover why many wedding pros feel their directory listings aren’t delivering like they once did, what’s actually working for bookings right now, and how to create a marketing system that puts you back in the driver’s seat.Grab your free seat at evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/breakup———Find Heidi: Instagram (send a DM!)The Wedding Business Collective 🩵 (get your first month for $1)Ghosted Lead Booking Wizard 👻Wedding Business Shop 🛍️Free Training: Break Up With WeddingWire + The Knot Without Losing Leads 💔Free Audio Training: Inside Profitable Six-Figure Wedding Businesses: What They Do That You Don’t (So You Can Grow & Scale Too) 👀Case Study: Wedding Planner Marketing That Works – How Katie Sautter Booked 15 Weddings in Her First Year 🔍The Knot & WeddingWire: Are They Worth It For Wedding Vendors?🤔

The Costly Ideal Client Mistake Most Wedding Pros Make
👉 Want to finally break free from The Knot and WeddingWire without losing leads? Save your seat for this free training.You've probably done the ideal client avatar exercise. You gave her a name. An age. An income bracket. Maybe you decided she loves brunch and golden hour photos and has a Pinterest board with 400 pins on it.And then nothing really changed in your business.That's not because having an ideal client doesn't work. It's because what most people call ideal client work isn't actually ideal client work. It's a guessing exercise dressed up as strategy. A paper doll with a Starbucks order.Here's the real problem. Bride isn't an identity. It's a role. A temporary role that millions of completely different human beings step into every single year. The couple who wants a black tie ballroom reception for 300 people and the couple who wants barefoot vows on the beach with their 12 closest friends are both brides. They have nothing in common. They want completely different things. And when your marketing is aimed at brides, it speaks to neither of them.This episode is about what to do instead.Get all the links from this episode: http://evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/362———I’m hosting a free live class: Break Up With The Knot & WeddingWire (Without Losing Leads)We’ll cover why many wedding pros feel their directory listings aren’t delivering like they once did, what’s actually working for bookings right now, and how to create a marketing system that puts you back in the driver’s seat.Grab your free seat at evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/breakup———Find Heidi: Instagram (send a DM!)The Wedding Business Collective 🩵 (get your first month for $1)Ghosted Lead Booking Wizard 👻Wedding Business Shop 🛍️Free Training: Break Up With WeddingWire + The Knot Without Losing Leads 💔Free Audio Training: Inside Profitable Six-Figure Wedding Businesses: What They Do That You Don’t (So You Can Grow & Scale Too) 👀Case Study: Wedding Planner Marketing That Works – How Katie Sautter Booked 15 Weddings in Her First Year 🔍The Knot & WeddingWire: Are They Worth It For Wedding Vendors?🤔

Why Wedding Pros Are Marketing Harder But Booking Less
👉 Want to finally break free from The Knot and WeddingWire without losing leads? Save your seat for this free training.I surveyed over 640 wedding pros and asked them two questions. 1. What's your biggest obstacle when it comes to booking more weddings? 2. And what do you think you need to do to fix it?The answers to the first question were all over the place. Not enough inquiries. Getting ghosted. Price shoppers. Leads that don't convert. Can't stand out from the competition. Real, specific, painful problems.But he answers to the second question were almost identical across the board.Post more. Run more ads. Be more visible. Show up more. Get on more platforms. More, more, more.Here's what stopped me in my tracks. Most of these wedding pros are already doing these things. They're already posting. They're already paying for advertising. They're already trying to be more visible and it's not working. So their solution to it not working is to do more of the same thing.When something isn't working, doing more of it isn't a strategy. It's a hope. And hope is not a marketing plan.Get all the links from this episode: http://evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/361———I’m hosting a free live class: Break Up With The Knot & WeddingWire (Without Losing Leads)We’ll cover why many wedding pros feel their directory listings aren’t delivering like they once did, what’s actually working for bookings right now, and how to create a marketing system that puts you back in the driver’s seat.Grab your free seat at evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/breakup———Find Heidi: Instagram (send a DM!)The Wedding Business Collective 🩵 (get your first month for $1)Ghosted Lead Booking Wizard 👻Wedding Business Shop 🛍️Free Training: Break Up With WeddingWire + The Knot Without Losing Leads 💔Free Audio Training: Inside Profitable Six-Figure Wedding Businesses: What They Do That You Don’t (So You Can Grow & Scale Too) 👀Case Study: Wedding Planner Marketing That Works – How Katie Sautter Booked 15 Weddings in Her First Year 🔍The Knot & WeddingWire: Are They Worth It For Wedding Vendors?🤔

The Booking Problem Every Wedding Pro Has (Whether They Know It Or Not)
👉 Want to finally break free from The Knot and WeddingWire without losing leads? Save your seat for this free training.There are three booking problems that keep wedding pros up at night.The first is ghosting. Someone finds your website, explores your work, fills out your inquiry form, and hits submit. You write back fast. You put real thought into it. And then nothing. Day one, nothing. Day two, nothing. Day three you send a follow-up. Still nothing. They just vanished like the conversation never happened.The second is price shoppers. Your minimum investment is right there on your website, clear as day. Someone inquires anyway, you do the call, you build the connection, and then they tell you they can't go above a number that's a thousand dollars less than what you already told them you start at. You smile, you wish them well, you hang up, and you groan like Tina Belcher staring at the ceiling.The third is the quiet inbox. Not zero for months quiet, just quieter than it should be given how hard you're working. And there's no clear feedback to point to, so you try everything. More posts. Another directory. A new Instagram bio. And the needle barely moves.Three different problems. Three different things to keep you up at night. But here's what most wedding pros don't realize: they're not three different problems. They're three symptoms of the exact same thing.Get all the links from this episode: http://evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/360———I’m hosting a free live class: Break Up With The Knot & WeddingWire (Without Losing Leads)We’ll cover why many wedding pros feel their directory listings aren’t delivering like they once did, what’s actually working for bookings right now, and how to create a marketing system that puts you back in the driver’s seat.Grab your free seat at evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/breakup———Find Heidi: Instagram (send a DM!)The Wedding Business Collective 🩵 (get your first month for $1)Ghosted Lead Booking Wizard 👻Wedding Business Shop 🛍️Free Training: Break Up With WeddingWire + The Knot Without Losing Leads 💔Free Audio Training: Inside Profitable Six-Figure Wedding Businesses: What They Do That You Don’t (So You Can Grow & Scale Too) 👀Case Study: Wedding Planner Marketing That Works – How Katie Sautter Booked 15 Weddings in Her First Year 🔍The Knot & WeddingWire: Are They Worth It For Wedding Vendors?🤔

How She 10x'd Her Wedding Planning Business In A Year
👉 Want to finally break free from The Knot and WeddingWire without losing leads? Save your seat for this free training.Katie Sautter was last on this podcast after booking 29 weddings in her first year as a wedding planner. At the time, she was still working her engineering 9-to-5, logging about 100 hours a week between both jobs, and just starting to think about what it might look like to go all in.She went all in.In 2025, Katie quit her job, built a team of five, went from under $10K in revenue to six figures, and did all of it in a single year. She attributes a huge chunk of that growth to a framework called the Lazy Genius Way, and to one particular tool her team built from scratch: a 75-step wedding management system she calls the Due Date Dashboard.In this episode, Katie walks through exactly how she did it, what the Lazy Genius principles actually look like applied to a wedding planning business, how she survived 12 weddings in 8 weeks without anything falling through the cracks, and why she's now selling the Due Date Dashboard so other planners can use it too.Get all the links from this episode: http://evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/359———I’m hosting a free live class: Break Up With The Knot & WeddingWire (Without Losing Leads)We’ll cover why many wedding pros feel their directory listings aren’t delivering like they once did, what’s actually working for bookings right now, and how to create a marketing system that puts you back in the driver’s seat.Grab your free seat at evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/breakup———Find Heidi: Instagram (send a DM!)The Wedding Business Collective 🩵 (get your first month for $1)Ghosted Lead Booking Wizard 👻Wedding Business Shop 🛍️Free Training: Break Up With WeddingWire + The Knot Without Losing Leads 💔Free Audio Training: Inside Profitable Six-Figure Wedding Businesses: What They Do That You Don’t (So You Can Grow & Scale Too) 👀Case Study: Wedding Planner Marketing That Works – How Katie Sautter Booked 15 Weddings in Her First Year 🔍The Knot & WeddingWire: Are They Worth It For Wedding Vendors?🤔

Is Your Wedding Marketing Giving Pickup Artist Energy?
👉 Want to finally break free from The Knot and WeddingWire without losing leads? Save your seat for this free training.There's an entire subculture of guys who teach other men how to attract women using scripted tactics. Memorized openers. Specific moves. Elaborate routines designed to manufacture a connection that isn't actually there.It almost never works (surprise, surprise) and when it does work short-term, it never leads to what they actually wanted.I look at how most wedding pros approach their wedding marketing and I see the exact same mistake. A series of scripted moves aimed at a crowd of strangers with no real understanding of who those people are, what they care about, or why they should choose you specifically.More posts. More platforms. More tactics. And couples who can feel it's not actually about them.

How Wedding Vendors Get Found On Pinterest With Dana Bahr
👉 Want to finally break free from The Knot and WeddingWire without losing leads? Save your seat for this free training.Most wedding pros either ignore Pinterest completely or treat it like Instagram and wonder why nothing happens. Pretty pictures. No context. No clicks. No inquiries.Here's the thing nobody tells you: Pinterest isn't social media. It's a search engine. And couples are using it heavily during the research phase, way before they're ready to book anyone. By the time they reach out to you, they've already spent 7 to 12 hours consuming content related to your service. Pinterest is where a huge chunk of that happens.That means if you're not showing up there with content that actually answers what couples are searching for, you're invisible during the most important part of their decision-making process.In this episode, Pinterest strategist Dana Bahr breaks down her VEIL method and exactly how wedding pros can use Pinterest to get found, build trust, and generate leads without creating a mountain of new content from scratch.Get all the links from this episode: http://evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/357———I’m hosting a free live class: Break Up With The Knot & WeddingWire (Without Losing Leads)We’ll cover why many wedding pros feel their directory listings aren’t delivering like they once did, what’s actually working for bookings right now, and how to create a marketing system that puts you back in the driver’s seat.Grab your free seat at evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/breakup———Find Heidi: Instagram (send a DM!)The Wedding Business Collective 🩵 (get your first month for $1)Ghosted Lead Booking Wizard 👻Wedding Business Shop 🛍️Free Training: Break Up With WeddingWire + The Knot Without Losing Leads 💔Free Audio Training: Inside Profitable Six-Figure Wedding Businesses: What They Do That You Don’t (So You Can Grow & Scale Too) 👀Case Study: Wedding Planner Marketing That Works – How Katie Sautter Booked 15 Weddings in Her First Year 🔍The Knot & WeddingWire: Are They Worth It For Wedding Vendors?🤔

We've talked about why doing all the right marketing things still isn't getting you bookings, what a real wedding booking system looks like versus random tactics, and why consistently booked wedding pros aren't working harder than you.

How to Book More Weddings: What Booked Wedding Professionals Do
👉 Want to finally break free from The Knot and WeddingWire without losing leads? Save your seat for this free training.The wedding pros who are booking consistently aren't working harder than you. They're working less. I know that's not what you've been told, but after working with thousands of wedding professionals over the years, I can tell you it's true.What they're doing differently isn't more posts, more platforms, or more networking events. It's focus. They've figured out which two or three things actually bring in bookings for their specific business and they've dropped almost everything else. No guilt. No FOMO. Just a clear decision to stop doing the stuff that doesn't work.If you've been trying to book more weddings by doing more marketing and it's still not clicking, this episode is going to reframe the whole thing for you.Get all the links from this episode: http://evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/354———I’m hosting a free live class: Break Up With The Knot & WeddingWire (Without Losing Leads)We’ll cover why many wedding pros feel their directory listings aren’t delivering like they once did, what’s actually working for bookings right now, and how to create a marketing system that puts you back in the driver’s seat.Grab your free seat at evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/breakup———Find Heidi: Instagram (send a DM!)The Wedding Business Collective 🩵 (get your first month for $1)Ghosted Lead Booking Wizard 👻Wedding Business Shop 🛍️Free Training: Break Up With WeddingWire + The Knot Without Losing Leads 💔Free Audio Training: Inside Profitable Six-Figure Wedding Businesses: What They Do That You Don’t (So You Can Grow & Scale Too) 👀Case Study: Wedding Planner Marketing That Works – How Katie Sautter Booked 15 Weddings in Her First Year 🔍The Knot & WeddingWire: Are They Worth It For Wedding Vendors?🤔

You Need a Wedding Booking System (Not More Marketing Tactics)
👉 Want to finally break free from The Knot and WeddingWire without losing leads? Save your seat for this free training.If you've ever spent a week going all in on Instagram, then switched to Pinterest because someone in a Facebook group said that's where you need to be, then went down an SEO rabbit hole, then tried to blog every wedding on top of all of that... you already know what random marketing feels like.It feels like being perpetually behind. Like no matter how much you do, it's never enough. And the bookings are still inconsistent.Here's the problem. Most wedding marketing advice is obsessed with visibility. More posts, more platforms, more content. And visibility matters, but it doesn't equal bookings. You can post three times a day and still watch couples book someone else. Because visibility without the right foundation underneath it is just noise.A wedding booking system is different. And once you understand the difference, the way you think about marketing changes completely.Get all the links from this episode: http://evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/353———I’m hosting a free live class: Break Up With The Knot & WeddingWire (Without Losing Leads)We’ll cover why many wedding pros feel their directory listings aren’t delivering like they once did, what’s actually working for bookings right now, and how to create a marketing system that puts you back in the driver’s seat.Grab your free seat at evolveyourweddingbusiness.com/breakup———Find Heidi: Instagram (send a DM!)The Wedding Business Collective 🩵 (get your first month for $1)Ghosted Lead Booking Wizard 👻Wedding Business Shop 🛍️Free Training: Break Up With WeddingWire + The Knot Without Losing Leads 💔Free Audio Training: Inside Profitable Six-Figure Wedding Businesses: What They Do That You Don’t (So You Can Grow & Scale Too) 👀Case Study: Wedding Planner Marketing That Works – How Katie Sautter Booked 15 Weddings in Her First Year 🔍The Knot & WeddingWire: Are They Worth It For Wedding Vendors?🤔

How to Book More Weddings: More Marketing Isn't the Answer
👉 Want to finally break free from The Knot and WeddingWire without losing leads? Save your seat for this free training.You're posting on Instagram. You're networking. You've paid for directory listings. You've dabbled in SEO, started a blog, messed around with Pinterest. You're doing the things. And somehow, bookings are still inconsistent enough that you're refreshing your inbox wondering where everyone went.That's not a work ethic problem. That's a strategy problem.
