The Booking Problem Every Wedding Pro Has (Whether They Know It Or Not)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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.
