Are you frustrated with the constant struggle of chasing low-quality leads from The Knot and WeddingWire? You’re not alone.

In this episode, I’m chatting with Katherine Hunter, a wedding celebrant who found herself in the same position—spending money on The Knot and WeddingWire and getting ghosted by leads who just weren’t a good fit.

But instead of staying stuck in that cycle, Katherine took a bold step. She built her own lead-generating machine that brings in high-quality, perfect-fit clients and completely cut ties with The Knot and WeddingWire saving her $4200 per year and hours each week chasing leads that ghosted her.

In this episode, you’ll hear exactly how she did it—and how you can apply the same strategies to take control of your lead generation, build better relationships with venues, and attract the clients you actually want to work with.

If you’re ready to stop wasting time and start booking more of your ideal clients, this episode is for you.
