Wedding Venue Owners Master Class, Styled Shoots: I have known Christina Moore of Bella Giornata Events for about 10 years now. I have admired her precision & creativity in many wedding & event roles: catering and event management, venue director, wedding planner and wedding photo shoot designer. Christina Moore has had her styled shoots and real weddings published in over 75 wedding magazines and blogs! I was so excited when Christina said she would share some of her insight for a Wedding Venue Owners Masters Class for our Wedding Venue Owners Facebook Community! I
n the video below, Christina walks us through how she works with wedding venue owners to help them create a story that elevates the venue brand and reaches an ideal, desired clientele. In this Wedding Venue Owners Master Class we learned how much a designed styled shoot may cost. How much your of your ideal couples budget should be going toward the venue. This was incredibly valuable as many venue owners may think, “why not have 50% of more of the couples budget, I want as much as I can get”. Christina points out that the wedding budget your couples have left won’t be enough to plan a wedding that showcases your venue beautifully to get published or to provide you with content that appeals to your best customer. Identifying your best clients can be challenging, there are many things to consider. This is just one of the topics Christina covers in our Wedding Venue Owners Master Class: Styled Shoots That Get Published. Click on the video link below to view the recorded Zoom.
