Coaching

Expert Assistance Tailored Specifically to Your Wedding Industry Business

Having exceeded expectations for over 1300 couples over the past 16 years - and having over 500 5-star reviews to show for it - I truly know how hard it can be to build and maintain a successful business in this competitive - and constantly changing - world of weddings.

Let’s work together - applying my years of successful business experience both within and outside the wedding world with your current business and vision for the future.

Consider me your “business therapist” with us working together to improve the health of your business, and of you in your business.

Areas of business I work on with my coaching clients:

Marketing - Where you should be seen and what you should show

Social Media - Which platforms to use and what to share on each

Pricing - How to charge what you are worth and what you need to earn

Business Systems and Apps - How to choose and use them most effectively (and, yes, that now includes AI)

Business Processes - Defined to exceed ideal couple expectations with increased efficiency

Reviews & Referrals - How to get more - and better - reviews and referrals, and how to use the ones you get to bring in more sales

Website - Yes, you should have one, and yes, it needs to reflect what you love to do and how well you do it for couples like them

And whatever else is on your mind is fair game too!

I thought after 300+ weddings I was fairly proficient and didn’t have much to learn. I was so wrong! I learned so much from Bethel’s course. It made me think more professionally, take notice of what I was missing from my business, and it was all done in a way like I was having a chat with a close friend. Can’t recommend enough!
