Welcome Wedding Coordinators

The best wedding coordinators we know are like psychologists: they read the feelings, needs, preferences, and internal struggles of couples and parents, and support them to make the best decision for their own situation. They know when to give clear advice based on years of experience, and when to hold their counsel while the couple or family seek more information or forge their own compromise. They know when the bride and her mother are working in harmony or in conflict, and they know how to stay out of triangles when one is trying to get them to take sides against the other.

Who Needs Wedding Stress Coaching

• Any bride, groom, or family member who is highly stressed and not seeing a way out of the stress
• Anyone who is paralyzed by a difficult decision relating to family or other close relationships
• Anyone whose efforts to make things better just make things worse

How to Talk to your clients about Wedding Stress Coaching

• Listen and express empathy. Nobody likes problem solving suggestions unless they feel heard and supported.
• Ask them what they’ve tried to make things better
• Ask if they have talked to anyone else who might be a neutral third party—a pastor, counselor, wise older friend
• Tell them they you have learned about a new service for people in their very situation—specialized telephone coaching for the people stress of wedding planning.  Ask if they would like you to get them information about it.
• If you get a clear “no,” back up and express confidence that they will get through this situation.
• If you get an expression of interest, ask if they’d like you to send them the website link for this telephone coaching service, or if they’d like you to write it down for them now.
• Say that the website has great information even if they decide not to use the coaching service.
• Express confidence that this is the kind of thing they might really help a lot.

Read what some couples have said about our program.

Take Back Your Wedding. This book may be just the answer you are looking for to help couples and their families prevent miscommunications and emotional landmines. See what an Association of Bridal Consultant said about the book:

"I wish I had read this before my own wedding.  I already have 3 brides in mind that this would be good for and will give them your brochure.  What an honest, common sense look at the people-side of planning a wedding, stated so clearly.  Some of your example dialogues had me laughing out loud because they were so true!

Thank you again for this great tool."

Sincerely,
