🎙️ Episode 51: Why Cold Pitching Established Wedding Planners Is the Worst Way to Book Your First Wedding🚫📩

If you’ve been told to “email 50 planners and offer to work for free,” this episode is your wake-up call. Cold pitching rarely works — and I’m breaking down exactly why established planners ignore those messages and why it has nothing to do with you.

You’ll learn what planners actually look for, why trust matters more than free help, and the simple shift that will get you noticed, respected, and remembered. I’ll also share a real example of the kind of pitch that does work — one that gives planners something they actually value and makes it easy for them to say yes.
