Description

We are delighted to present the second Love and Splendor Workshop this fall: Monday, September 14th thru Thursday, September 17th. Our workshop will take place at the marvelous Greengate Ranch and Vineyards in San Luis Obispo and will be packed with information and inspiration for event planners and designers at every stage of their careers.

The Love and Splendor Workshop will focus on instructing attendees on how to start, nurture and elevate their wedding and event planning and design businesses. Topics covered will include...

  • Writing business plans, contracts and other planning documents
  • Pricing wisely
  • Managing marketing and publicity
  • Effectively harnessing (without being consumed by) the power of social media
  • Nurturing incredible vendor relationships
  • Web features and publication
  • Creating a sincere client experience
  • Hiring and building your team members
  • Cultivating a unique brand and standing out in a saturated market
  • Determining and reaching your target clientèle
  • Designing a wedding from inspiration to execution
  • Collaborating with other like-minded creatives
  • Planner vs. Event Designer vs. Coordinator
  • Workflow and time management
  • Nitty gritty money talks: how to run a successful business, not lose money on a hobby :)
  • Balancing work and life/family
  • Staying personally inspired
  • ...and much, much, more!

WHAT'S INCLUDED:

  1. Instruction by myself (Angel Swanson) as well as insightful guest sessions by industry experts including film photographer Ryan Ray, editor of Green Wedding Shoes Jen Campbell, Jesi Haack of Jesi Haack Design, Jeni Maus of Found Vintage Rentals, Diana Perrin of Casa de Perrin, Emarie VanGalio of La Tavola Linen, Melody Brandon of Sweet and Saucy, and more to be announced! Instruction will be classroom-style focusing on both the business side and the design side of planning weddings and events.
  2. 8 wonderful meals (dinner on 9/14, all three meals on 9/15 and 9/16, and breakfast on 9/17) plus plenty of delicious snacks. All food is guaranteed to be memorable, featuring the best of local and seasonal fare. Any food allergies will be taken into account & we will make sure you are very well fed. :)
  3. A beautiful binder filled with the workshop's curriculum including templates, outlines, sample documents and notes, tips and helpful resources.
  4. Carefully curated gifts and surprises -- I can't wait to delight each of the attendees with some of my favorite things.
  5. A stunning setting. The workshop will be set and styled with care and chock full of details that you'd expect at any event of Love & Splendor. Our dear friends from {found} vintage rentals, Casa de Perrin, Theoni Collection and La Tavola Linen will help us set the scene each day.
  6. An authentic and heartfelt experience. I am working hard to ensure that you will have plenty of personal attention, interaction with speakers and other attendees, and most of all, a genuine experience that is truly inspiring. I look forward to the connections and memories that will be made in our time together.
