WEDDING PLANNERS
It's time to build the business of your dreams!
STOP GOOGLING YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS AND START BUILDING A BUSINESS WITH A TRIED-AND-TESTED ROADMAP YOU CAN TRUST
let's do this!
YOU’RE A WEDDING PLANNER WHO TRULY CARES ABOUT EACH OF YOUR COUPLES
You go above and beyond, sometimes sacrificing your own well-being (and Profit margin!), to make each wedding you plan a unique and thoughtful experience.
You want to charge more for your services but have no idea how you should go about doing that other than just picking some numbers out of a hat.
You believe in drive over hustle and deep breaths over chaos but you're afraid if you don't bust your butt 24/7 you'll never stand out among the crowd.
We know that you started your company because there is something about wedding planning that sparks a fire in you
We also know that running your own business can be overwhelming!
Raise your hand if this sounds like you...
But the weddings you're booking aren't paying the bills and your clients don't have the budget for the killer design elements you're dying to implement.
YOU SAY YES TO ANY AND ALL WORK THAT COMES YOUR WAY
But your couples keep micromanaging you and no matter how hard you work it never seems like enough.
YOU PIECEMEAL TOGETHER A PLANNING PROCESS
But you’re lacking the confidence to stand behind them, and you just can’t seem to close those higher-end packages.
YOU ARBITRARILY TRY RAISING YOUR PRICING
AND YOU SIT THERE WONDERING...
Will I EVER have the confidence to charge higher rates - and stand behind them with integrity?
Pondering...what can I do to make MY clients’ weddings run more smoothly without putting in 10 extra hours a day?
Doubting that you will EVER be able to make this business work and ALSO have an actual life - spending quality time with your family and friends, giving yourself Netflix and chill time because you deserve it, and making those all-nighters a distant memory.
While other wedding planners are posting #blessed on their Instagram feeds full of stunning photos and glowing couples, securing the highest of high-end clients, and seemingly sashaying through the process cool, calm, and collected with a smile on their faces.
YOU INVEST IN YOUR BRANDING
But all the branding in the world can’t sell your services, if you don’t believe in yourself and your abilities.
THERE IS ANOTHER WAY!
We have developed a tried-and-tested system that eliminates...
THE SECRET
The guess work and constant Googling
THE NEED TO ANSWER EMAILS AROUND THE CLOCK
THE NEED TO CHARGE SUPER-LOW PRICES IN ORDER
TO COMPETE
The comparison paralysis
The fear of always letting your clients down
We find that many planners have the “disease to please” and we REFUSE to let you be taken advantage of time and time again without even being PAID to tolerate it!
Our tried-and-tested system takes you from overwhelmed and underpaid to super-organized and high-end within weeks!
WHO ARE WE AND WHY SHOULD YOU LISTEN TO US?
We’re Teissia (the brunette) and Alia (the blonde), but you can call us T+A.
We’ve been planning weddings all over the world for over a decade with our company Firefly Events, and we’re pretty freakin’ great at it! In fact, we've been named top planners by Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Martha Stewart Weddings, Brides Magazine, BizBash, and The Knot. And our weddings have been featured in over 30 different publications around the globe.
We drop these creds not to brag but to assure you that you can trust us! While it hasn’t always been easy, we’ve had extensive experience in the industry and through all the ups and downs we have created a modern and holistic approach to business development and planning that we know is successful.
How do we know it's successful?
Because it is what enabled us to go from stressed out, frazzled, exhausted, under-paid wedding planners to hyper organized, efficient, leaders in our field that charged $100,000+ for every wedding we planned. We have also watched the same systems transform the lives and businesses of every TFM planner that has joined the community.
Now, instead of planning weddings, we educate thousands of planners around the world and help them step into their entrepreneurial power.
It won’t work for me because I
don’t live in a luxury area and
there’s no way I can get clients
to pay me more!
I’m not creative enough...
If it was that simple, everyone
would be a wedding planner...
WE KNOW WHAT YOU’RE THINKING...

Attracting Your Ideal Clients
Ready to start working with your dream clients!? In this module, we're diving into all the moving parts of identifying and attracting your ideal clients. There’s nothing like working with clients you love that inspire you to go the extra mile!
How do you know how to price your services to establish the value of your time and effort and avoid picking numbers out of a hat? In this module, we help you nail down your pricing and start creating comprehensive packages that clearly define your services and inspire your prospective clients!

Work/Life Balance + Self-Care
You can have the most successful business in the world, but without a healthy work/life balance and a steady dose of self-care, there is no way you'll be able to sustain that success. Wedding planning is the 5th most stressful job in the world according to Forbes, and in this module we help you to develop strategies that will enable you to experience joy and growth throughout the longevity of your business instead of overwhelm and burnout.
Planning Formula Part I
The Planning Process
It's time to get down to the nitty-gritty details of the planning process. This module is the first of three modules all about our wedding planning formula. Instead of reinventing the wheel every time you plan a wedding we have created a repeatable formula that you can use with every couple. By implementing our three-part planning formula your clients will instantly feel confident in your services, system, and structures and will love working with you!
The second part of our planning formula is all about day-of preparation. In this module we enable you to be beyond prepared for the big day and absolutely kill it for your clients! This means a much less stressful wedding day with you calmly overseeing instead of running around like a headless chicken.
Planning Formula Part II
Day-Of Preparation
Planning Formula Part III
Day-of Execution
The third and final part of our planning formula is day-of execution. In this module, we're walking you through the key elements of flawless wedding day execution. Make this the perfect day for your clients, impress them and their guests, stay cool, calm and collected, and set yourself up for referrals from guests, the venue, and vendors!
Post-Wedding Wrap-Up
In this module, we walk you through some simple steps that will help turn each successful wedding into many more clients! We help you create an easy and thoughtful follow-up system that keeps you top of mind and ready to be referred to more ideal clients.
