Marketing for events and weddings
booked dates, not just saved inspiration
A couple planning a wedding saves dozens of ideas and inquires with several vendors before booking anyone. The vendor who follows up fastest with a clear quote usually wins the date, not necessarily the most-liked post. We build that follow-up and the booking funnel behind it.
Saved to a board, never inquired about
Event and wedding vendor marketing usually spends on inspiration content without a working path from “saved” to “booked”. An inquiry form with no pricing signal gets ignored by budget-minded couples. A follow-up happens once, then stops. A calendar nobody checks against the inquiry before promising a date. Reviews, which couples research heavily before booking, often go uncollected until someone happens to leave one unprompted.
How we build the funnel
Campaigns run on real event photography and video, since this category can tell styled stock images from the real thing. The inquiry form shows a realistic quote range and checks date availability up front. That filters out inquiries that were never going to convert, and respects the time of ones that could. Every inquiry that does not book immediately gets a follow-up sequence, because most couples are comparing several vendors, and the fastest clear answer tends to win.
We track the pipeline from inquiry to deposit to event date, so you can see cost per booking by season and package. After each event, we collect reviews and testimonials while the experience is fresh. This applies the same local-reputation approach that doubled profit over four years for a tattoo studio running steady ads and review management together.
What we need from you
Real photos or video from past events, your typical pricing range or package structure, your current calendar and inquiry process. Access to your ad accounts and social profiles too.
What you see in the report
We report in booked dates and cost per booking, by season and package. Review volume is tracked as its own metric, since reviews directly affect future inquiry quality in this category.
