How We Performed in March 2022

“And in the spring I shed my skin, and it blows away with the changing winds” – Rabbit Heart (Raise it Up), Florence + the Machine

March is here, and the warm days are coming!

Some people are winter people.  Some people are summer people. 

Me?  I’m a transition guy.  I like the transition months of spring and fall.  It’s when you’re sick and f*&king tired of all the cold or heat, and now you are seeing daffodils poking out of the ground, or leaves beginning to change, and you know relief from your misery is right around the corner. 

It’s also when weddings begin to wake up from their winter slumber.  Emails are going to start POURING in, and weddings will begin to book up. 

Let’s take a look how this month went, shall we?

• This month, we booked 16 weddings. 
• The amount of sales we made this month was $12,822.67
• The biggest cost for us each month is permit fees. We paid a total of $987.35 in permit costs.
• Our other two main expenses are to the florist and baker: $300.
• That brings our total expenses to $1,287.35 (not taking into account fuel costs, on-the-road food, taxes, and other incidentals).
• Total profit in March comes to $11,535.32.

If you’re in the wedding business, March is the month when things start to pick up again after a slower winter season.

You’ll see a surge in email inquiries and bookings for weddings, so it’s important to be prepared. Here are some tips on how to make the most of the busy spring wedding season:

1. Get your website and marketing materials updated. Make sure your website is looking its best and that your brochures, business cards, and other marketing materials are up-to-date. This is your chance to make a great first impression on potential clients.

2. Start planning ahead. The key to success during the busy season is good planning and organization. Begin by creating a schedule of all the weddings you have booked, including vendor meetings, dress fittings, cake tastings, etc. Then start working on a timeline for each individual wedding so you can stay on track and avoid any last-minute scrambling.

3. Delegate and build a team you can rely on. During peak times, it’s impossible to do everything yourself – you’ll need to delegate tasks to others in order to succeed. But be careful who you entrust with important duties – only give assignments to people you know you can rely on 100%.

4. Stay calm and positive. Things will inevitably get hectic at times, but it’s important to stay calm and focused. This is your chance to shine and show potential clients what a great wedding planner you are.

So keep your head up, stay positive, and don’t let anything get in the way of creating beautiful experiences for your clients!
