Never Let a Client Get Away: How I make sure wedding inquiries turn into real jobs, every single time

If you’re tired of clients ghosting and price shopping, leaving you with an empty calendar and empty bank account, it’s time to turn things around!

How I attract my ideal client

We’ve all experienced seasons where we can’t seem to get the right clients to book our services. You’re either not getting any inquiries at all or you’re getting inquiries only to have people ghost you after you’ve invested time and energy into booking them.
