Connect · Grow · Belong
More than networking. Relationships create revenue.

If you're feeling like…
- — Your bookings are inconsistent
- — Networking feels awkward or unproductive
- — You're tired of chasing leads
- — You know relationships matter, but you're not sure how to build the right ones
- — Marketing feels overwhelming or expensive
- — You feel like you're doing this business alone
- — You want to stay visible and top of mind with other wedding pros

- ✦ Connect with wedding professionals who understand your business
- ✦ Stay visible and remembered in the industry
- ✦ Gain practical business education and ideas
- ✦ Access member-only events and experiences

Supercharge your membership
10X your visibility
Your membership gets you in the room. This gets you in front of the couples. A single directory listing is one door, and couples walk past it every day. Supercharge puts your business in front of them everywhere they're planning — the directory, their inbox, their feed, and face to face at the events where they're actively shopping for their wedding. Same community. Same connections. A lot more eyes on you.
More eyes on you
Everything in your Devoted membership, plus:
- ✦Multiple directory placements. Show up in several categories and featured spots instead of one listing in one place.
- ✦Newsletter features. Your business in front of thousands of local engaged couples, straight to their inbox.
- ✦Wedding Resale Market™ visibility. Reach couples at the events where they show up mid-planning and ready to spend.
- ✦A dedicated blog feature. A spotlight post that tells your story and keeps working long after it goes live.
- ✦Social media spotlights. Posts across our channels, seen by local couples who are planning right now.
- ✦And more perks. Additional visibility designed to keep you top of mind.
Why it works
Couples don't book the vendor they saw once. They book the one they keep seeing. Multi-place visibility is critical because it builds trust, establishes niche authority, a first-to-reply advantage, and prevents you from being overlooked. Couples are now utilizing vastly different channels depending on where they are in their planning journey. When you show up in all of those places, you stop being one option among many and become the name they already recognize.
