Happy Woo Wednesdays!
The weather doesn't need to cause stress or anxiety. Just like every other aspect of your or your clientâs wedding day, you can plan for it and take steps to mitigate any severe risks. In my experience, even when it rains, it never ruins a wedding. Plan for the unexpected, learn how to set expectations with your clients, and always find the positive side of every situation and every type of weather pattern.
Whether clients experience âperfectâ weather or âawfulâ weather, they still end up having the best wedding ever!
1. Weather apps are not meant for wedding planners ⊠in the same way that Spotify isnât meant to replace a wedding band. While these apps can predict daily weather, they often lack the context needed for detailed planning.
2. Severe weather, like thunderstorms, hurricanes, blizzards, and heat waves, demands a deeper dive into preparedness and understanding. It's not solely about knowing if a storm will hit but grasping the potential impacts on your event.
3. It is key for you to understand your legal responsibility and how to avoid putting yourself in a risky legal situation if there is a weather emergency at your event.
Andrew Leavitt founded Ironic Reports, a Concierge Event Meteorology Service. Ironic is trusted by some of the biggest names in the wedding industry, including Rafanelli Events, Marcy Blum, and Colin Cowie. Ironic focuses on everything from drizzles to severe weather and can even help you choose the safest place for your dream wedding.

Happy Woo Wednesdays! What a powerful episode. Stop creating MORE content and repurpose what you have instead! Isabel Chen is amazing. She may be a digital marketer, but her science background means that she trusts data - and if the data says most of your sales come from non-social media methods (e.g. networking) , she's gonna tell you that's where you should focus ;)
Isabel's a scientist turned digital marketer who specialises in Pinterest marketing and content creation. After working for 4 years as a social media manager team of one in a non-profit, she is passionate about showing online business owners how to save time when it comes to their marketing.
My hot topic would be how content repurposing can save you HOURS in your marketing.
1. How repurposing content to other platforms (e.g. Instagram to Pinterest) can boost your reach
2. Repurposing Longform content (e.g. a blog) to shortform content (e.g. IG carousel) means you don't have to think of new content ideas but build more brand awareness
3. Repurposing lets you reinforce your message - they say someone needs to see/hear a message at least 7 times before they buyOnly for HECK YES listeners.
She is offering listeners a complimentary 30-min Map out your Marketing session to solve ONE marketing issue they're facing.

Happy Woo Wednesdays!
I have Sav in the Get a HECK YES house, the girl behind the phone! She's been filming weddings on her iPhone since 2019, and now is teaching others how to use the powerful camera they already have in their back pocket!
Sav hopes to encourage you to start with what they have so you donât have to have the latest and greatest of everything for your gear kit in a world of commercialism and consumerism You are the magic behind your work, NOT your gear
Hot topic: Worrying more about gear than telling your clientâs story does them a disservice.
1. A skilled filmmaker who understands light, story, composition, color etc can take even the cheapest or most outdated equipment and still work with it.
2. Storytelling will stand the test of time and will be what moves your clients to show their film to the children, grandchildren, etc, and a big part of storytelling is audio. I integrate high quality audio with my films.
3. Gear is just a tool. The meat of what matters in your work and business is how well you serve your clients, listen to and meet their needs, and give them an heirloom that will last generations.They can get my âShot on iPhone Course for beginnersâ for $5 until the end of 2024!

Do you know what a wedding content creator is? Honestly I didn't even know what they did until a couple months ago. In the next couple of years, I think most couples will want to hire one. I met Vivian from a mutual photographer friend and we have become besties. She came to one of my weddings and directed better than me. I was truly impressed. She make amazing video content at weddings with her phone, and edits multiple videos by the end of the night. She also helps small business win in the IG game.
Hot Topic
Wedding Content Creators: Myths & Truths
âą Wedding content creators are not professional photographers or videographers: provide candid/bts footage/short form in nature/"missed" moments
âą Longevity in the industry: here to stay

Vivian is a wedding & event content creator based in Los Angeles, CA. She started her business after her group of best friends and herself all got married within the same year and she became the resident "content taker". She realized she uncovered an opportunity to blend her passion for social media and celebrating love stories together through her content creation business.

Hot Topic: how to create compelling video that lands you more clients, better clients, and saves you time down the line.
Check out the videos Larry made for me.
https://www.carissawoophotography.com/
https://heckyesmedia.co/about
Larry is a video content strategist. This is different from a videographer who shows up and hands clients a recap/highlight film. Larry listens to your business goals and accesses where video could save you money, time, or increase relationships. No one else in the video segment is serving wedding professionals directly with 1 on 1 service. This is a specialty of his.
What is your best HECK YES technique.
By listening first. Not everyone wants more sales. Some want their time back from onboarding new clients, or from current clients. Video can solve a lot of problems but I have to first hear what a business owner is telling me...and often they dont even know what their problem is but something is slowing them down. My clients will make their money back within 2 sales and their videos will continue to serve them for years.

Hot Topic: You're Marketing by Accident!
- Most wedding pros wake up everyday without knowing how they are going to market their business (the solution to this is to have a marketing plan)
- A big mistake wedding pros make is making too many assumptions about who their ideal clients are (the solution is going deep on customer personas and focusing on their problems/motivations)
- The key to better marketing is not necessarily MORE marketing, it's usually just consistency (the solution here is building marketing habits)
I met Tayler and her hubby at WMBA and I was blown away by them. I was drawn to their booth immediately.
A marketing consultant and small-business builder, Tayler is the Founder of Enjiâthough you might recognize her from one of her other companies: TAYLRD Media and Designs and Sourced Co.
In her newest endeavor, Tayler is taking everything she has learned over nearly a decade of helping small businesses with marketing to design and build a suite of online marketing tools that fit your lifestyle and make sense for you. Because, while you didnât sign up to be Chief Marketing Officer of your business, at Enji, we believe becoming one doesnât have to be so dauntingâand our goal is to empower you with the tools and solutions you need to make more informed decisions, use your resources more effectively, get creative with how you connect with customers, and ultimately grow.
