January 23rd-27th 2023
The ALL NEW, exclusive 5-day event that helps wedding professionals go from overwhelmed & overworked to streamlined & more profitable than ever.
Running a wedding business can run you into the ground if you let it.
You’re grateful that you’re booking weddings and you love your clients but you’re feeling...
Overworked
Overwhelmed
Frustrated
What you really want is to...
Take your business from overwhelming and all-consuming to streamlined and simplified
Reduce stress and have a strategic plan for building a wildly profitable wedding business so you don’t always feel like you’re flying by the seat of your pants
Have the freedom to run your business YOUR way so that it supports the life you want to live while working with clients you love and making the money you want
🤫 Can I let you in on a secret? 🤫
You can have all of these things when you learn how to step into the CEO role in your wedding business.
6 and 7 figure wedding businesses aren't built by working HARDER. They're built by working smarter and thinking like a CEO.
The best part: It can be simple.
Let’s create more ease in your life!
The Wedding Business CEO Summit is here to help you tailor your wedding business to give you more freedom, more profit, and less stress.
20+ experts over 5 days will teach you strategies you can use to streamline your business and reduce overwhelm & stress no matter which stage you’re at.
So you can stop...
Wondering how to reclaim your time and still build a wildly profitable wedding business.
Wishing you knew exactly how to get the help you need instead of it feeling like you have to do all the things yourself.
Working too damn hard for someone with the title of CEO, rather than streamlining your business to fit the life you want to live.
Meet Your Host
Heidi Thompson - Creator of The Wedding Business Collective
Hey! I’m Heidi Thompson and I help wedding professionals grow their businesses without going crazy in the process. I’m a business strategist and marketing geek as well as the host of The Evolve Your Wedding Business Podcast and best-selling author of Clone Your Best Clients. I love making things easier and more effective.
Growing a wedding business can be overwhelming, stressful and it can swallow your social life whole…BUT it doesn’t have to be that way and I’m on a mission to help wedding pros like you grow their businesses without killing themselves.
Your business should give you the freedom to do what you love and the freedom to have a life doing the other things that matter to you.
I created this summit to help you to step into your role as CEO so that you can grow your business without burnout, become more profitable, and know exactly what you need to do to create the business you’ve always dreamed of having.
The Details
When
The Wedding Business CEO Summit will run from January 23rd-27th with a variety of presentations to choose from each day.
Where
I don't know about you, but I prefer to do my hair and leave my house as little as possible. With that being said, you can tune into the summit from the comfort of your couch and yoga pants.
Presentations
The presentations will be available for 24-hours to encourage you to stop waiting for the right time and take action along with thousands of other wedding professionals. Each presenter will provide you with a worksheet to follow along with so you can make your action plan while tuning in.
Community
You’ll also have access to a private Facebook group for the summit where we’ll be partying it up before the summit starts and working together to go from overwhelmed & overworked to streamlined & more profitable than ever once it kicks off.
The All-Access Pass *AND* The Wedding Pro Power Pack
After registering, you can also upgrade to gain access to the All-Access Pass OR The Wedding Pro Power Pack.
The All-Access Pass provides lifetime access to presentations, transcripts, and worksheets and The Wedding Pro Power Pack includes everything in the All-Access Pass plus VIP Networking Sessions, a VIP Co-Working Session, a VIP Mastermind Q&A with me, and some pretty incredible premium bonuses from our speakers. You won't want to miss it!
Scholarship
I am dedicated to helping you attract more of your ideal clients and book more weddings so you can be more profitable and grow your wedding business and making the process as easy as possible. To help, you’ll hear about my signature membership, The Wedding Business Collective, here and there throughout the event.
On the final day, one lucky (and engaged) attendee will be selected to win a full 6-month scholarship and have instant access to my membership, The Wedding Business Collective.
It includes access to the step-by-step 6 Figure Wedding Business Roadmap, $5000+ in business and marketing trainings, and personal support to make building a 6+ figure wedding business without working INSANE hours all the time EASY.
Stay tuned for details and your chance to apply!
Implementation Day
Watching actionable presentations is great, but to see real change happen you’ll have to take action. And doing so alongside others with similar goals is powerful. That’s why we’ll have live, interactive events on Day 5! These sessions include:
- VIP-Only Hot Seat - VIPs who have purchased the Wedding Pro Power Pack will have the opportunity to submit questions and come on live to chat with me about them!
- 6 Pillars To A 6+ Figure Wedding Business Without Working All The Time - Learn Heidi’s 6 Pillars To Build A 6+ Figure Wedding Business Without Working All The Time Framework and how to use the pillars to improve your business. You’ll also hear more about her signature membership, The Wedding Business Collective.
- Closing Call -
These sessions have been designed to take what you’ll learn throughout the week and get you taking action toward attracting and booking more of your ideal clients.
Not Your Average Online Summit
There are a lot of summits, trainings, and workshops out there. So what makes this one different?
First, this summit was created specifically for wedding professionals. This isn't general advice for any creative business out there. Every single presentation is specialized for the type of business you run, making it a whole lot more impactful.
But more importantly, we're not here to add to your plate. Our goal isn't to throw a pile of new strategies and tasks at you, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and like there's no way you can do enough. Instead, we're here to take what you're already doing and optimize it in a way that makes your business more simple, efficient, profitable, and stress-free.
