Show Notes

In our newest podcast, we chatted to wedding sales expert, Kelly Mortimer. Kelly highlights three ways that she recommends in order to attract more high-quality wedding leads. 

Kelly’s first tip is to comb through your existing photography, making sure that they are the best images that you have and they portray your venue in the highest regard. If you are unsatisfied, reach out to couples who previously wed at your property and get in touch with their photographer. It is also a good idea to implement user-generated content on social media, training staff members to post videos and imagery that is on-brand and authentic.

Kelly also suggests planning for a photoshoot to gain aspirational imagery - an expense that is worth the return on investment. Dress your venue to the best of it’s ability, to make people fall in love with it. Kelly does not recommend using models and instead suggests showcasing the wedding team at work, to show the attention to detail that they have.

In her last piece of advice, Kelly tells listeners to create a luxury package. Often wedding venues create low-cost value packages, but you should stand out from the crowd. Create a higher-priced wedding option, for couples that crave the full VIP experience on their special day.
