“I take home a nearly 6 figures helping couples get married”
From planning weddings to organizing dream vacations for others, these women have turned their memorymaking businesses into serious cash. Read on to learn their secrets so you can start earning too!
“My town is a popular spot for destination weddings. A few years ago, I became a board member of the chamber of commerce. For years, the organization hosted a wedding show for local vendors, but when they stopped running it, I decided to take it over. After two years, I realized there was a need for a company to plan destination weddings here, so I launched Anna Maria Island Beach Weddings.
“I didn’t know much about running this type of business, so I interviewed photographers, florists, bakers and other wedding vendors in the area to get tips about how to grow my business. I created a website (AMIBeachWeddings.com) and became a marketing partner with Visit Florida, the state’s tourism association. I also reached out to a local tourism agency, media and other tourism organizations to spread the word.
“For each wedding, I book the photographer, videographer, music and officiant, and I order flowers, chairs and anything else the couple needs. I also help set up receptions. I even became an officiant and took photography classes as a backup in case any vendors don’t show up!
“I love this business because I get to be a part of a couple’s special day. It’s an honor helping them make memories, and the money I earn from my business allows me to travel with my family and make our own memories!”
