Stop Dreaming and Start Making Money as a Professional Wedding Planner
“Realize Your Dream,
Live a Fabulous Life…
Become a Top Wedding Planner”
Dear Friend,
Have you ever dreamed of owning your own business, working for
clients who are dying to hire you, and making more
money than ever… doing something you love?
Instead, most of us end up overworked and overwhelmed
in a job that doesn’t really satisfy us. We waste our talents working
nine to five -- trading our time for a few bucks. Most of us are too
afraid to take a chance and go after what we want simply because we’re
not 100% sure we can really do it on our own… So we stay stuck…
Something Has to Change
I’m Sharon Hill, author of “Become a Top Wedding
Planner” and owner of Sharon Hill Events, Inc. I’ve been a successful
event planner for over a decade, and I can show you exactly what to do
to start and grow a successful business of your own right now.
Imagine being in your beautiful office… talking on the
phone with a bride about her dream wedding. You discuss her chic theme,
review her colors as you thumb through your box of beautiful fabric
swatches… maybe talk a bit about her cake. She invites you to join her
at the bakery (because she wants your expert opinion on the design). You
check your calendar and see that you are available after a meeting with
the florist to look at sample bouquets with another new bride, before
heading over to a sample tasting at the nearby luxury hotel. Couples
just seem to find you. You know all the best vendors and have planned
some of the areas most elegant affairs…
Can you see yourself doing this and getting paid for
it?
Becoming a professional wedding planner is one of the smartest moves I
ever made… Being a wedding planner gives you a great lifestyle,
a considerable income, and the freedom
to work when and with whom you choose. You get to express
yourself creatively... and clients seek your expert
advice to help plan their perfect day. It’s a
wonderful feeling …and a great job!
But I can’t say it was always easy…
In 1997, I had a ‘good’ job with a corporation… until my job was
eliminated. While I was out interviewing for other jobs, I was asked
where I saw myself in 5 years… I don’t remember what I said, but
all I could think of was “not here”.
I was tired of always being worried I would be let go or laid off. I
hated interviewing for jobs that bored me, didn’t give me any real
satisfaction, or forced me to play office politics with backstabbing
co-workers then get ‘evaluated’ by clueless managers.
When I dug deep and got really honest with myself, I knew what I wanted
was to run my own event planning company from my home in 5 years. It was
scary to admit that to myself … and even scarier to do something about
it. But I took the leap, quit my job, and started my company 3
months later.
And I have never been sorry. Sure, there were
struggles… Early on there were lots of mistakes and missteps.
The truth is… I had no idea how to start a business, get clients, or how
much was really involved in planning the perfect wedding.
So I read tons of books, attended lots of events to find out more about
running a business, invested in seminars on planning weddings and social
events, and educated myself on marketing strategies and techniques.
I also went to an endless number of networking events, bought
advertising packages, and coaching programs. Some things I did helped my
success; many were awful and big wastes of time and money!
It was hard alone… but I was determined to figure everything
out.
And I did.
Once I had the knowledge I needed, I knew that if I wanted to
really make money, live the lifestyle I wanted -- and have it be easy, I
was going to have to get organized.
Planning a wonderful event means paying attention to details, a lots of
details...
So, I developed a plan… a series of forms, worksheets,
checklists and templates for everything. That way, my mistakes could be
corrected -- and my successes could be duplicated. Over time, I
eliminated all the guess work -- and my company took off!
It would have been so much easier, saved me tons of money and time if
I’d had someone to guide me then, but I didn’t…
Fortunately, You Don’t Have To Do It Alone
Once I got the system written out, I worked it.
Within a very short time, I was attracting more (and better) clients,
making more money, and producing successful events every time!
Soon, other planners began to notice my success and began asking me for
advice … wanting to know how I did it. They wanted to get to where I was
– without all the struggle, confusion or expensive courses.
In fact, I started getting so many of the same questions over and over
that I began putting a package together to help others become successful...
And my book was born!
I Want To Mentor You

Maybe You're Not Ready
It’s always a little scary when you try something new. Maybe you’re thinking...
>> The economy is so bad. Maybe I should wait…
There were more than 2 million weddings in the US last year. Couples are still getting married, and they’re spending money doing it. Today, more than ever, they want the best value their money can buy them. But most are too busy to handle the planning themselves. They need someone to guide them who knows the ropes, save them time and aggravation and get it done right… You can do this now… and you can make money at it.
>> I don’t have the money to start a business.
The beauty of event planning is that it doesn’t require a huge investment to get started. In fact, you can begin today right from your home, for less than you probably paid for your last haircut (I’m not kidding!)
>> I work full time – and can’t afford to quit my job for a dream!
You can begin building your business part-time, and decide if and when you are ready to step away from that full time position. Do what works for you!
>> Most books about setting up a wedding planning business give the same information as books for setting up other small businesses.
I've seen those books too and I didn't find them particularly helpful. They seemed to be written by people who sat in an office cranking out a series "how to" books and putting different titles on them. My book is not like that. I wrote this book myself. You will learn from my trials and triumphs exactly what you need to do have a successful business, establish yourself as a professional wedding planner, and start making money.
>> I have always thought of becoming a wedding planner, but I don’t even know much about it. It’s probably just a silly dream.
Following your dream may lead you to a life even more grand than you can imagine today. You can easily learn what it takes to be a successful wedding planner. I did it, and you can too. Everything you need is right here… You’ll learn to set up a wedding budget, work out a timeline, determine the style of the wedding, help the bride select her wedding location and vendors, plan the ceremony, run the rehearsal, manage the reception and much more.
I’ve Made It So Simple, You Can’t Miss. . .
You CAN make it happen today.
If you’re still on the fence about whether this is the right next step for you, I’m about to make you an offer you can’t refuse...
Since I’m in the process of putting my product together and getting all the design work produced for the printed edition, I decided it would be a great time to let a few would-be wedding planners try out my stuff… So when the complete printed system actually launches, I’ll be able to share feedback from real women who have used my system and had the same success that I’ve had with it.
If you’re one of the first to respond to this introductory offer, you can get my 190 page downloadable ebook “Become a Top Wedding Planner - Start a Successful Wedding Planning Business” right away. It’s covers exactly what you need to know to start and run a successful wedding planning business, step-by-step.
But Wait, There’s More!!
For a limited time, I’m also throwing in over $270 worth of templates, worksheets, forms, and checklists to help you get up and running quickly so you begin making money sooner, rather than later.
You’ll receive my 7 New Wedding Planner Toolkits -- over 250 pages of full-sized checklists and fill-in-the-blanks worksheets, cross-referenced in the book so you know when to use the forms. They’re ready for you to print out and use as many times as you need…
Right now, these are included F-R-E-E for the introductory offer. In the future, I will probably sell each toolkit as a stand-alone item.
Think of all the time you’ll save knowing you don’t have to create these documents yourself from scratch, let alone figure out what you need… I’ve done it all for you!!
