For wedding and event venues
We run your ads, email, landing pages and directory listings, and bring you inquiries for the Fridays, Sundays, weekdays and off-season months that are hardest to book. You close them the way you always have.
For about 8 years we ran marketing for The Grove in Cedar Grove, NJ. At its peak it brought in about 700 inquiries a month, an estimated top 1% of venues nationally by inquiry volume.
In season, couples tend to find a venue's Saturdays on their own. The bookings most venues miss are everywhere else: Fridays and Sundays, weekdays, and the months between seasons. Most of those dates can be sold. They just need someone marketing them.
Couples with a flexible date who'd rather have your venue on a Friday than someone else's on a Saturday.
Micro-weddings, rehearsal dinners, showers and milestone celebrations that fit a Friday night or a Sunday afternoon.
Meetings, holiday parties and company celebrations, booked by planners who search differently from couples.
What we run
Proof
The Grove found me through my design work and stayed about 8 years. Over that time we ran their website, Google and Meta ads, and their listings on The Knot and WeddingWire.
That was on $7,600–12,600 a month in ad spend, which is a real budget, spent carefully. The venue changed ownership in 2026.
Inquiries include every event type and every channel. Results depend on your market, your price and your team.
Before we talk, I look at how your venue shows up next to your local competitors, and which dates and events you could be booking but aren't marketing yet. You get it before or on the call, and it's yours either way.
We go through the audit, your calendar and the dates you most want to fill. If there's no fit, I'll tell you.
We learn your event types, your calendar and your seasonal patterns, build campaigns for the dates you want, and switch them on. Inquiries start coming in within the first few days.
| Plan | Growth | Premier | Portfolio |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly | $2,500 | $4,500 | from $7,500 |
| For | One venue | One venue, luxury or high volume | Two or more venues under one owner |
| Channels | Google Search + Meta | Growth, plus remarketing, directory management, email nurture, Google Business Profile and reviews | Premier for each venue, plus one view across all of them and routing of leads between venues |
| Booking system + monthly bookings & revenue report | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Sales coaching for your team | — | Quarterly | Quarterly |
Ad spend is separate. You pay Google and Meta directly, from accounts you own. We recommend at least $2,000 a month for Growth and $4,000 for Premier.
Setup is $2,500 one-time. It covers fixing your tracking, building the pages and system, and importing and reactivating your past inquiries. It's waived if you commit to six months.
The first term is 90 days, then month to month. Weddings book 11–14 months out, so we ask for long enough to prove it.
A lot of venue owners have. You paid, you got a report full of clicks, and you still couldn't say what it booked.
So here's our commitment. If tour requests from qualified couples aren't above your baseline within 90 days, we keep working without a fee until they are.
Your baseline is your average monthly tour requests over the 90 days before we launch, taken from your records. If you don't track tours yet, we'll measure qualified inquiries for the first 30 days after tracking is installed and use that instead.
It's conditional, because results take two teams. The guarantee holds as long as your team answers leads within the agreed response times, the minimum ad spend stays on, and your staff run the tours.
We work with 1 venue per market, and we'll turn down your competitor down the road. Before your call, I'll confirm your market is open. If it isn't, I'll tell you straight away, and let you know if that changes.
DIY barns, venues built only for micro-weddings, chain hotels and managed clubs (your marketing is decided somewhere else), or venues looking for a one-off website fix.
When there's an offer worth booking, yes. On the call we look at your calendar together and pick the dates and event types to go after. Some venues already have Friday, Sunday or off-season pricing. Others add it, and we'll help you shape it.
Directory listings are part of the system we manage, not a substitute for it. Running them with your ads as one system means you're not paying for the same couple twice.
You do. We manage them. If you leave, everything stays with you.
Inquiries typically start arriving within the first few days of launch. Cost per inquiry comes down as we learn what works, and most accounts look materially different by month 2 or 3.
We'll work with what you have where we can, or move you onto our system if it's the better fit. We'll go through it on the call.
Answer inquiries quickly, run the tours, and tell us what booked, so we can bring you more of the inquiries that turn into events. We give you the response times and a tour script.
Then we can't work with you there. I check every market by hand before the call, so you'll know before we talk.
Yes. It's yours whether or not we work together.
6 quick questions about your venue, then pick a time. If it's not a fit, you'll get our free resources instead, with no sales call.
Pick a 30-minute slot in the next week. Before we talk, I'll prepare your Venue Revenue Audit: how your venue shows up next to your local competitors, and which dates and events you could be filling. You'll have it before or on the call.

If none of these work, reply to the confirmation email or call (732) 444-7144.
You're booked. Check your inbox for the details and a short video on what to expect. Talk soon.
Based on your answers, I want to look at your market before booking a call, so I don't waste your time. I'll email you within one business day, either with a link to book or with an honest note if I don't think we're the right fit.
In the meantime, here's what we check in every venue audit: open the checklist.

Based on your answers, we're not the right fit right now. That's usually about timing or size, not quality. The checklist we use in every Venue Revenue Audit is yours, free. Run it in 30 minutes and you'll see which dates and inquiries you could be winning.
