We all know we’re short on time – every business owner is, but as wedding professionals we have to give all our attention to the wedding we’re working on today.  And the one next week, and the one next month.  Then we have to fill our pipelines for the next year or two ahead.  

It’s easy for someone to say you need to post, write some blogs & put some backlinks in there, you just make some content & put it up.  But it’s not that easy to do – it takes planning, creativity, consistency, time and more.

The Wedding Professionals makes it easier for you. 

Your membership gives you the chance to take part in marketing and PR opportunities that we send you.

Would you like to be quoted in one of our blogs? It’s easier than writing your own if you don’t have the time.

Do you like writing blogs?  Submit yours to us and we can publish it for you.  White-label SEO at its finest.

Would you like to be interviewed as an expert? We write articles and are always looking for the opinions of wedding experts.

Would you like to be recognised with awards?  Part of your membership is the opportunity to nominate yourself for a WIPA.  You’ll receive digital collateral to let your followers know you’re up there with the best, and of course that means you’re receiving digital content prepped by someone else.  It’s a gift!

As a member of The Wedding Professionals, you receive a badge that you can use to shout out to the world that you’re really a wedding pro.

With your membership, you’ll be included in our website listing with direct links to your business channels. This will give you exposure and an SEO boost, too.

Throughout your membership, you’ll have access to quality marketing content and tools. We send you the leads, and you simply respond.

You’ll receive a digital membership badge to use in your marketing so you’ll have some great content for your socials straight up.

It takes 3 – 4 weeks to assess your entry and we do this by looking at your online presence, your verified reviews and testimonials and any supporting information your provide.  We also make an enquiry through one of your contact options as part of the judging process.  Each element of your entry is scored against set criteria so whilst you aren’t competing against other businesses you must meet the standard a WIPA sets.

We’ll keep you up to date on the progress of your entry and contact you if we need further information to complete judging.
