Couples planning their wedding can be overwhelmed by the planning process. People still want to get married during a pandemic, but large gatherings are prohibited. I just accomplished my goal to help a handful of couples with the tools and the knowledge they’re lacking so that they can create a wedding that includes as many people as they want.

Poise Over Panic: A Wedding Planning Mini Workshop

Ivy Summer is a certified wedding planner based in San Francisco with a decade of experience working with engaged couples around the world. Her book, Poise Over Panic: How to Plan a Wedding in a Pandemic, was published in May 2020 and offers various vendor insights, a few case studies about real brides and newlyweds, and about how they got married under pandemic circumstances. Now, she's hosting a 90-minute wedding planning mini workshop for couples who want to plan like a pro. It includes all the quick-starter tips (especially during COVID) that you'll need on your wedding planning journey.

If you’re recently engaged and you haven’t starting planning, or if you’re just getting started with your wedding planning journey, then this workshop is made for you.

This is a step-by-step overview of all the wedding details you should start hashing out so that you can create an action plan and hit the ground running when you connect with wedding vendors about your big day.

In 90 minutes, you’ll be fully equipped and confident to plan all the beginning details of your wedding day, and you’ll discover that the planning process can be as exhilarating as the wedding day itself.

This is the perfect workshop for couples who:

• Are 12 to 3 months away from their wedding day and still have a lot to plan out
• Don’t have a big budget to blow
• Love DIY but don’t know how to incorporate time-consuming projects into their already-piling-up wedding plans
• Want timely personalized wedding vendors recommendations that match their criteria (without spending hours researching to find the perfect vendors)
• Have some tricky friend & family dynamics that could make wedding planning tricky, too
• Want professional help whenever they need it and empowerment to DIY when they feel like it

In this mini workshop, you’ll get:

• Actionable advice in chronological order of 12+ months away from the wedding all the way through your honeymoon planning
• One-on-one consultation time with a Certified Wedding Planner
• On-the-spot personalized recommendations
• Wedding industry discounts to get that bang for your buck
• Info about all the templates you need to get the answers you’re looking for in vendor meetings
• Tips for difficult conversations when you’re dealing with tricky family dynamics
• Entry to the raffle for a free copy of the world's first book about how to plan a wedding in a pandemic, Poise Over Panic: How to Plan a Wedding in a Pandemic

You don't have to do this all by yourself - let your other engaged friends/family know about this value-packed mini workshop, too!
