Want a Calm, Consistent Booking Season in 2026? Now Is the Time to Act
Aug 13, 2025 Episode 325
Heidi Thompson

Are you hoping 2026 will finally be the year your wedding business has a calm, consistent booking season instead of feeling like a rollercoaster?

Right now is when the work that leads to those steady wedding bookings in 2026 actually happens. The truth is, if you wait until things slow down to think about your marketing, you’ll already be behind.

Since the end of COVID, I’ve noticed a clear difference between wedding pros who book all the weddings they want at the prices they want and those who struggle to fill their calendar. In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve seen work, why now is the time to put it in place, and how you can set yourself up for a more predictable wedding booking season next year.

If you want to stop riding the feast-or-famine cycle and start creating steady wedding bookings for 2026, this episode is for you.
