We’ll show you exactly how to attract dreamy high end clients who pay top dollar premiums while you garner local, regional and national attention running the most profitable, joyful and thriving creative business, EVER.
So, what’s this all about?
We’re sharing the biggest, boldest, juiciest secrets nobody’s told you about successfully attracting, booking and serving the luxury market; what luxury REALLY means and the #1 mistake we see other vendors who want to serve luxury make.
Here’s what you can expect from the content in our learning library:
- Mind-blowing strategies, secrets, tips and tricks to successfully attract, book and serve luxury clients (we guarantee you won’t find this stuff anywhere else in the industry!)
- The exact formula to follow to double, triple, even quadruple your prices once and for all that will fill your calendar with only the most magical of clients
- Real world, no fluff “tell it like it is” teaching and mentoring from three industry leading luxury planners (one of whom has a degree in Marketing and an MBA) who hold spots on both the Martha Stewart Weddings and BRIDES Best Planner lists (seriously, you don’t want to miss what we have to say!)
- Perspective for all disciplines on EXACTLY how to earn business from luxury wedding planners and what they need and want from you in order to refer and book you (hint: it’s not what you think!)
- A refreshed, renewed and profitable business model that thrives and enables you the time and space to breathe, enjoy your life and welcome both purpose and joy back into your passion again (think: working less and making more)
“I just booked my largest contract ever ($19k) and I wanted to say thank you for equipping me with the education/resources I needed to better understand the luxury market. What you are doing is changing people's lives.” - Anna Shackleford, Anna Shackleford Photography
Here's the truth:
You get to have a business that enables you to build generational wealth and ignites your personal fire so that you can impact the world.
“This is the best thing to ever happen to me - personally and creatively. Thank you, thank you!” - Chelsey Barhost, Chelsey Barhost Photography
“You three ladies have given me such a gift with sharing your knowledge. This week I was able to raise my prices to a number that I thought was NOT in the cards. Then, I literally just landed in NYC right now to work on an NHL player’s wedding tomorrow. But again, I didn’t see it before. I truly feel unlocked right now. And it’s just getting started. It’s not even the best yet! So much gratitude in my heart for you all!” - Sacia Matthews

Shauna and Jordan Photography
“I just have to say, we have more than doubled our pricing in the last 6 months and I am so much more confident in serving our clients. You have been a catalyst for many changes that we have made this year and because of those changes, I’ve never felt more proud of our work or been more confident in our value. We just booked a proposal we had out for $17,500 (it will easily be an over 20k wedding after we finalize the additional event coverage and additional hours of wedding day coverage). They followed our process (which we learned from you ladies) and they are so excited. Thank you SO much Courtney, Julie and Wendy for this education. You have genuinely changed our art, our business and our lives!” - Shauna Cooney
Amanda Slater Events
“I just wanted to say THANK YOU for being so transparent with your processes and knowledge that you've learned over the years. I just booked a huge influencer who is the definition of my ideal client and it was such a breeze - she booked me ON the call - and I don't think it would have been as effortless if she inquired before I watched these episodes. Seriously, I have gotten so many takeaways (both small and big) from you all and I'm so thankful!” - Amanda Slater
