Master Your 2025 Wedding Business Goals: Gain Clarity and Create an Actionable Strategy for Growth

Ready to level up your wedding business in 2025? Join me on January 14th, 2025, for an exclusive, in-person Annual Planning Workshop designed specifically for wedding pros like you.

This isn’t a seminar. It’s a hands-on, powerful in person day where you’ll step away from your business, reflect on your 2024 journey, and create a strategy for 2025. Imagine the power of sitting with a group of like-minded wedding professionals, sharing insights, and setting firm, actionable goals that drive real results. You will walk away with a strategy to use in 2025 but more than this, you will reconnect to your purpose and values.

This workshop is for you if:

You crave an inner circle of wedding professionals to inspire you to step into your CEO role in 2025. Regardless of whether you had an amazing year, or one worryingly empty, you will feel empowered by the content and most especially those in attendance.

Why this workshop?

The content is specific to the wedding industry. I’ve been in your shoes. I’ve experienced the highs and lows, through my extensive experience both as a wedding specialist AND business consultant. But alongside this you are able to share ideas with your fellow entrepreneurs and build future friendships and collaborations. Imagine what you can achieve by spending 1 day dedicated to your business growth and personal development?

What can you expect?

You’ll arrive to a refreshing welcome drink and introduction from myself and the other attendees, before we begin to review your 2024. What went well and what didn’t? Did you achieve your goals? How do you feel about 2025?

Warning; this may get emotional but remember this is a safe space, I am there to support you.

• Full day coaching and networking 10am – 5pm
• Dive deep into what didn’t go as planned—and how to fix it for 2025.
• 1:1 advice from me and gain insights from your peers, leaving you equipped with a powerful roadmap for the year ahead.
• ​A focused, intimate setting with passionate, like-minded wedding pros.
• Workbook to help you document your findings in the moment, no procrastination

• ​Micro headshot from our photographer

Throughout the day I will provide advice specific to your goals. This in turn will help you craft a marketing strategy for your business. It will enable you to analyse your time management and get real specific with your goals. We are in this together, you are not alone.

Mastermind Love

Please note that in 2018, 2019, 2024 this event was called a Mastermind Day, thus testimonials below are from those events.

I recently attended Bernadette’s Mastermind Day, which was a great way to kickstart 2024. It was really helpful to reflect and review 2023 before putting together a strategy for 2024. As a wedding planner, you get so involved working for your clients that you forget to work on your business, so it was really productive day. Bernadette’s guidance and support throughout the day was so helpful. Thank you!

Charlotte, Papillon Events

I had the best time at the Mastermind. I loved looking back on 2019 and actually seeing how much I had accomplished and feeling proud of myself. Bernadette was so supportive and helpful throughout the Mastermind taking the time to speak to everyone individually, and offer personal advice as well as to the group. I feel more motivated than ever and will certainly be attending another Mastermind in the future! Since completing the mastermind and putting in the work my enquiries have skyrocketed and bookings are coming one after another. I don’t know why I didn’t do this sooner, it has changed my life and business! The money I spent on the mastermind has come back to me in bookings and more! In order to progress you have to invest in yourself and I have seen this through doing the Mastermind. If you put the work in after this could change your business!

Aimee, One Oake Weddings

I attended Bernadette’s 2019 Mastermind Day, back in December. It was important to me that I undertook a comprehensive review of 2019 and planned a strategy for 2020. The decision to attend Bernadette’s day (rather than anyone else’s) was absolutely the right one for me. As a wedding planner, I was joined on the day by other wedding industry planners and professionals so there was plenty of opportunity to discuss and bounce off others working in the same field. Bernadette ran the day brilliantly, giving plenty of time for each item on the agenda and getting the balance right between the time she spend “educating” and the time she gave to group discussion. Bernadette is a great supporter of her clients and it is clear that she is passionate about what she does. If you are considering one of her courses or next year’s Mastermind Day, I highly recommend that you book.”

I attended Bernadette’s mastermind day back in December as a way to reflect on the year passed and prepare for the year ahead. Goal setting is something natural to me so I wasn’t initially sure if it would be useful to attend or not, but I’m so glad I did! Bernadette was warm and took the time to understand the challenges we faced and how we can overcome them, and I came away motivated to take practical steps forward – and with a lot of new friends in the industry too! Thank you Bernadette!

Bernadette is incredibly inspirational and always gives fantastic advice. I attended a Mastermind Day towards the end of 2019 and her boundless enthusiasm and drive is contagious, she really wants you to be the best that you can be. I am so grateful for Bernadette’s guidance and encouragement and look forward to implementing her recommended strategies to take my business forward.

Nikki, Perfect Words Ceremonies

I didn’t hesitate in booking my place on Bernadette’s Mastermind Day. I sadly hadn’t been able to attend the previous year and knew from past coaching days I have undertaken with Bernadette that her Mastermind Day was going to be for me. I hate the word ‘Strategy’ and therefore had a complete mind block on what I needed to do to ‘Plan’ for the coming year.

The day certainly did not disappoint. Coming together with likeminded fellow wedding professionals, not just wedding planners, gave the day a unique energy and vibe. We were all in it together. Bernadette created a friendly but no-nonsense workbook for us to work through. We bounced off ideas, discussed our various views, as well as our plans & goals for our individual businesses.

Mary, Weddings by Mary

Although I was almost fully booked for the following year, I wanted to get together with people in the same industry to review our businesses and tactics and this is why I booked onto the Mastermind Day in 2018. Bernadette is able to tap into her years’ of experience to help guide people, both emotionally and practically, in the best direction for their business. Her mastermind day is super helpful for those in the relatively early stages of their businesses, as well as helping established businesses with any sticking points to address. The day itself was a lot of fun: lovely to catch up with industry friends, to help one another with business advice, and to celebrate the year’s work.

Rebecca, Appletree Cake Design

I really appreciated your insight from years of experience, but equally your ability to encourage us to work together to help one another however we could. Not only does this encourage us to help one another but it gives us the opportunity to network.

I would say absolutely give a Mastermind with Bernadette a go! Even if you feel you might not learn something (which you DEFINITELY will!!) you will come back feeling much more positive and you will feel more centred on what you want to focus on an achieve. I met so many wonderful business women many of whom I can either call friends or can recommend highly when a client asks me.
