Show Notes In this episode of Entrepreneur Money Stories, we revisit Brandee Gaar, the founder of a thriving wedding planning business based in Orlando, Florida. With an impressive track record spanning sixteen years in the industry, Brandee has not only built a profitable business but has also become a dedicated coach to other wedding professionals. Her mission is clear: she wants to help others succeed while challenging the pervasive burnout culture that often plagues the wedding industry. The Summit The conversation takes place just after Brandee's annual Summit, an event she meticulously plans with thoughtfulness and intention. Initially starting her coaching online, Brandee found her true calling in in-person events, allowing participants to experience a sense of empowerment and embrace their roles as CEOs. Every aspect of the Summit is crafted to provide authenticity and realness to attendees, both during the sessions and outside of them. Brandee believes that gathering the right individuals in one room can spark transformative changes in their professional lives. Tracking the Financial Side of Things Brandee astutely manages her business, ensuring clear financial segregation among its various branches, such as wedding planning, the Summit, and coaching, all under the same LLC. This approach enables her to closely track the profitability of each segment individually. She emphasizes the importance of paying attention to the finer details, especially during less profitable years, and setting expense goals to complement sales targets, driving steady growth. Looking into the Future Despite the fear surrounding a possible recession, Brandee adamantly refuses to plan from a place of fear, dismissing it as an excuse for mediocrity. Instead, she advises professionals to focus on excellence, redouble their marketing efforts, and invest in personal and business growth. Even post-pandemic, when her company seemed to be coasting, Brandee recognized the opportune moment to push for growth and made concerted efforts to expand the business. A strong advocate for investing in her team, Brandee believes in providing her employees with opportunities for growth. For instance, she invested in her social media manager by purchasing an SEO course, which will remain available to future team members in that role, enhancing their skills and contributing to the overall growth of the business. Money Mindset and the Financial Aspect A major decision Brandee made recently was moving the Summit from Orlando to Austin, TX. This shift was a strategic one, calculated to foster a 20% growth in that region by centralizing the event. Drawing from past attendance data and comprehensive planning for best and worst-case scenarios, Brandee confidently took the leap, recognizing the potential for success in this bold move. Advice for the Fearful Business Owner Brandee's insights resonate deeply with entrepreneurs, emphasizing the importance of thoughtfulness in managing one's business, resisting conformity, and identifying and addressing the gaps that hinder growth. Her approach exemplifies how investing in essential areas and shedding weaknesses can lead to business expansion and overall success. In conclusion, this enlightening episode with Brandee Gaar is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone navigating the wedding planning industry or seeking entrepreneurial inspiration. Her remarkable journey, coupled with her passion for uplifting others, serves as a guiding beacon for entrepreneurs striving to thrive in competitive markets while avoiding burnout. Listeners are left with invaluable takeaways on building profitable businesses, fostering authenticity, and nurturing a strong team to achieve their goals.

You're definitely having a wedding ceremony so that means you have a few decisions to make while planning this part of your wedding day. Once you've decided who's going to take part in the ceremony, you'll have to decide how you'll have them walk into your ceremony (the processional), where you'll want everyone to stand or sit. Some wedding ceremonies will have traditions and protocols depending on culture, religion or venue (church or synagogue), but these days there are so many options you could consider and far less rules. I hope that you love this episode and that it gives you some thought into making your wedding ceremony one that feels best to you.Brandee Gaar is a luxury Event Planner, Thought Leader, Educational Speaker and Host of The Wedding Pro CEO Podcast.

When Brandee Gaar left her job in hospitality, she had to work hard to build her business. She wore all the hats - sales, marketing, SOPs, hiring, firing, customer relations, and everything else that comes with running a small business. She wasn't making much, but she realized that in order to make more money, she actually had to spend money on hiring the right people. Slowly she's removed the hats, and now she's truly the CEO of her business.Brandee Gaar is a wedding business coach, owner of Blush by Brandee Gaar, and host of the Wedding Pro CEO Podcast.Hustle and Gather is hosted by Courtney Hopper and Dana Kadwell, and is produced by Earfluence.

WANT A PROFITABLE WEDDING PLANNING BIZ? READ THIS In the age that we're living in with pricing going all over the place, Brandee shared that one of the most IMPORTANT things wedding planners can do is be in touch with your industry! Stay in communication with your vendors & get a grip on what they are dealing with so you fully understand any price increases that might arise. For your clients, one of the biggest benefits to using a wedding planner is your advice and expertise. They are hiring you because you have a pulse on the industry, know what is happening, and can be a great negotiator for both sides. Advocate well for your partners and advocate well for your clients so that you can come to a beneficial, win-win agreement. With happy parties on both sides, your business will naturally grow. MORE FROM THIS EPISODE Press play on Episode #133 and you'll learn: How to avoid the legal, sticky situations that are common in the wedding planning industry (especially with inflation driving up costs). Must-have clauses ALL wedding planners should have in their legal contracts. How to ensure you still get paid even if your client cancels last-minute. The reason “production schedules” will save you from getting burned as a wedding planner. The differences between “day-of coordination” and “full-service planning” and how to make sure you don't get in over your head. You'll QUICKLY find from listening to Brandee's experiences that it's important to have a legally legit foundation backing you when you run a wedding planning business. With The Legal Paige's Wedding Contract, you'll be covered for any situation. Included is a communication clause that will ensure you are contacted only during your office hours (so no late-night texts with brides), your day-of hours of coverage is set-in-stone and that any additional hours will be invoiced at your hourly rate, all of your duties as a coordinator are explained and signed off on (including what you will NOT be doing), your client's responsibilities such as paying their own vendors and vendor cancellations, time limits on modifications and changes to the overall wedding theme, your travel expenses, use of wedding images from the photographer, and more!

Brandee Gaar is a visionary in the wedding industry and her podcast for wedding pros is my favorite. ✨She helps wedding pros build a business and a life they love!
Today's conversation is about a topic that is very close to my heart: Instagram! And sure, some people may roll their eyes because when we think of Instagram these days we tend to think of influencers, mass followings, and sponsorships. But for those of us in the wedding industry, Instagram is used for a completely different reason.Bianca Trevino, our guest for today, knows this better than anyone. Bianca is the founder of The Wed Strategy, an Instagram marketing resource for wedding professionals, and Bianca Nicole and Co, a wedding planning firm in Austin. She saw a gap in the Instagram marketing space when she was trying to learn how to grow her wedding planning business because most courses and resources focused solely on growing your account as a personality or influencer. There was no marketing information specifically for wedding professionals who aren't necessarily trying to make it "huge" but rather just trying to become more visible within their market and to book more clients directly from Instagram.----- For full show notes and guest links click HERE!
