Behind the Veil
Reserve your spot on the waitlist for the release of our session showing you exactly what investment levels look like in a wedding
Previously only available to Educate | Empower | Encourage members, we are opening our session on showing the visuals of investment levels in weddings to everyone! Because these are real weddings with real investments attached to them, we have worked hard to be sensitive to the families who hold these days so dearly. We are opening this conversation up to help the education of our industry.
Fill out the form below to join the waitlist and be the first to know when we open the doors!

"The most mind-blowing revelation was the breakdown and explanation of budget, lovely, and luxury. I thought I was in luxury for years, but it turns out I’ve been in lovely/upper lovely. The video where you all showed photos of each bracket shocked me. Ultra luxury is pretty easy to spot, but I was surprised by the budget and lovely depictions."

Hi, we're Julie and Courtney of Invision Events and Wendy of Birds of a Feather Events —
We've been transparent about our industry education through a private membership group and now we're making it open to everyone.
As founders of Educate | Empower | Encourage and nationally recognized luxury wedding planners + designers in our own right, we've seen how the lack of transparency around the costs of the weddings we all see and love on social media leads to client confusion, unaligned expectations and wedding vendors struggling to make a sustainable business.
That's why we decided to peel back the curtain on what weddings look like based on what level of investment is made. There's a lot of factors that contribute to why any single wedding costs what it does. Blanket average costs or lump sum budgets discussed by national media outlets do not set clients up to understand the financial investment they are undertaking.
This session is a transparent view into the actual budget numbers, wedding circumstances, decisions made and priorities decided on by our real clients to achieve the visuals you see.
