Although I love the idea of visiting other places while speaking, there’s nothing like having the opportunity to present in front of your peers in your hometown. :)

I am so excited to not only be attending, but speaking at Richmond Weddings very first Marketing Seminar! This event will be held at The Renaissance in Richmond on Wednesday, February 27, from 8:30am to 11:30am, and promises to have valuable information for any wedding professional.

Topics discussed by guest speakers includeThe Referral Builder: The Ultimate Networking Tool from Jeanne Willson, Owner of Markbeech Marketing and Check Your Marketing, followed by, Ready, Set, Off Season: Making the Most of your Downtime from yours truly, concluding with Richmond Weddings owners Amye and Scott Brunette discussing Take Advantage: Local Resources Offer Numerous Opportunities.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Well it’s officially a new year and if you’re anything like my wedding pro friends and clients, you’re taking a very brief breather (between prospect meetings with newly engaged brides of course!) before the wedding season and reviewing your Fall/Winter 2012 portfolio. Some may even be deemed press worthy (or as I like to say, real wedding submission-y) and with an extra ten minutes on your hands, it’s time to take action.

It’s with this in mind that my next guest blog with WeddingWire EDU was conceived. It’s easy to assume that real wedding submissions begin and end with gorgeous images, but there are a few more components that you’ll want to consider before hitting submit.
