“The wedding couldn't have been more perfect, and I thank your course immensely for all of the help and insight. What could have been a highly stressful event ended up being manageable”
Santana
Sounds good so far? You might be thinking… “Yes, but…"
Can’t I just find all this out for free on Google?
If you have time to research every detail on Google and YouTube, you might be able to piece together this puzzle. But how will you know the advice you’re getting is legit? We’ve poured 30 years of combined wedding planning experience into this course.
I’ve already started planning and have committed to vendors
You can pick up exactly where you are. Start at the beginning and work through chronologically, or pick the parts that are relevant to you right now. The Wedding Course will guide you, wherever you are in your wedding planning journey.
Will my wedding end up being like everyone else’s?
Whether you want a traditional white wedding with all the extras, or a quirky event that includes you and your fiance’s favourite things. The Wedding Course helps you plan your big day your way, without the cookie-cutter approach you find online.
And the biggie...
Buying this course will take money away from my wedding budget. How can it help me save money so I can recoup the cost?
As part of the course we have provided countless insider tips on vendor negotiations, how to spot red flags in contracts and steps for organizing your dream wedding team, so you can save lots of money in the long run.
We’re confident that this course will pay for itself through costs saved, here’s how:
The price of a wedding planner can range from $500 for a ‘day of’ coordinator to $10,000+ for a full service planner.
With The Wedding Course, you get all the benefits of two expert wedding planners with over 30 years of experience, for only $297.
The average amount a couple can save by using our vendor negotiation tactics is between $500 - $2,000.
For example…One bride received a total cost for flowers for her ceremony and reception.
By asking for an itemized quote, it became easier to see where cost savings could be made. One way was to swap expensive, hard to find, flowers for more less expensive, but still beautiful alternatives.
Top tip: Often a florist will list separate flower arrangements for the ceremony and reception, however some of your ceremony aisle arrangements can be moved and repurposed in your reception, depending on the location of both events.
The average amount couples can save by using our venue negotiation tactics is between $500 - $3,000.
For example… If your venue is supplying your food and beverage, start with negotiating any room rental you’ve been quoted. And if you are having a hotel wedding, ask for a complimentary suite on your wedding night.
Top tip: Try to avoid consumption-based bars as people may consume more than is estimated and you could end up with an extra bill. Instead ask for a flat bar package, and then negotiate it down, to potentially save hundreds of dollars.
The average amount couples can save on missed deadlines, rush fees and late fees is between $500 - $1,000.
For example… If you wait until the last minute to get your wedding dress and then need alterations or don’t buy off the rack, you can end up paying rush fees. By following our timelines you’ll know exactly when to have chosen your dress, to allow for alteration time.
Top tip: As part of the course we provide a whole section on vendor contracts do’s and don'ts, with special considerations for every vendor contract. So you don’t need to be worried about signing your contracts and being hit with extra fees later.
The total in cost savings for your wedding could be between $2,000 and $16,000 just by signing up for The Wedding Course!!

I have a tiny budget. Is this course for me?
This course was created for couples of all budgets who are hiring vendors or hosting their wedding at a wedding venue. If you plan to DIY everything from the cake to the florals to the catering, this course is probably not for you. However, if you plan to hire professional vendors and only DIY a handful of things you are great at or that mean a lot to you, this course is definitely for you!
We're planning our wedding in less than three months. Will I benefit from this course?
Yes! There are so many parts of the course that are still applicable as you still have so many details to conquer before your wedding day which the course can guide you through.
We've already started planning our wedding. Do we still need a course like this?
Whether you’ve started your wedding planning journey or not, you’ll find loads of helpful information in the course.
