It’s one of the best ways to attract your ideal clients: partner with top venues. But building relationships with venues isn’t easy, and you can’t fake your way to the top of their referral list. 

So how do you create authentic connections with venues that will bring you more of the work you love?

This week’s Wedding Industry Insider is all about wedding venues, and how to become your favorite venue’s favorite planner. We’re talking with Shannon Tarrant, a wedding industry coach and the founder of Wedding Venue Map, the ultimate list of Central Florida wedding venues. 

Shannon has worked with hundreds of small businesses and has seen what it takes to succeed. She also knows what venues want from their go-to planners and how anyone in the wedding industry can find success by going after opportunities.

In this fantastic episode, you’ll get a step-by-step guide for getting venues’ attention on social media. You’ll also learn about cold emailing venues, how to impress them at a wedding, and how to earn a top spot on their preferred vendor list.

But that’s not all. Shannon also talks about time management, marketing, and the pursuit of excellence. Here are some of our favorite highlights:
