How to Create a Wedding Venue Business Plan

Wedding venue set up for reception

Wedding Venue Essentials

Blog: Collection: Wedding Venue Essentials

Weddings are the cure for weekends full of empty hotel rooms , and they can turn a farm or turn-of-the-century farmhouse into a money-making event destination. In order to grab a piece of the wedding business for your hotel or event space , you’re going to need a business plan.

Read on to learn how to craft a wedding venue business plan that gets couples to choose your venue over the competition. 

How much can a wedding venue make?

According to ValuePenguin research,  the average cost of a wedding in the U.S. is approximately $25,000, give or take. The potential is there for a significant revenue stream. Be proactive in researching your local demand and competition to avoid surprises when starting a wedding venue business. Set realistic financial goals based on how your particular venue can generate money:

  • Rent your facilities for weddings and receptions. Think about couples spending over $2,000 on ceremony venues, and more than $15,000 on reception spaces. Multiply this out based on how many weddings you can host each week/month/year for a baseline revenue.
  • Give guests a place to stay. Weddings can vary in size, and many couples opt for destination weddings . Whether they’re inviting dozens of people or hundreds, those guests need a place to stay. Hoteliers are uniquely positioned to host these special events and provide rooms for an entire wedding party , all under one roof.
  • Build all-inclusive packages. Couples may think they can handle an à la carte reception until they see the list of things they're expected to bring (and pick up). A well-priced deal where you provide everything — from tables and chairs to linens, décor and even centerpieces — will save your customers time and hassle.
  • Add more revenue with food and beverage. Food at a wedding is extremely important. Whether in-house or through a vendor, consider rolling in catering to your all-inclusive packages . 
  • Go the extra (revenue) mile with valet parking. Whether in crowded cities or bucolic remote locales, some couples will look to cover the cost of valet parking for their guests. At approximately $15 a person, this generates a decent amount of extra revenue while showcasing your desire to enhance the guest experience .
  • Get listed on Wedding Spot .  Wedding Spot is the only directory exclusively showcasing venues, meaning no distractions or barriers to couples finding your venue. Wedding Spot processes 200,000 requests each year, offering a new way for special event venues and hotels to attract wedding business.

Understand the elements of a successful wedding venue

What do couples want from a wedding venue? As you start to conceptualize your business plan, take a hard look at what you already have in place and what you may need to invest in to give your customers what they want.

  • You’ll need a charming location with the right capacity.  If you're a hotelier with multiple ballrooms, you’re able to cast a wider net for different size weddings. If you run a unique wedding venue with less space, like a farm or barn, you need to target your marketing more narrowly. Investments in décor and furnishings may come into play as well.
  • Experienced, friendly staff is key. One of the top priorities for couples is making sure their guests are well taken care of. Remember, you're offering more than just a physical venue — you’re offering a memorable experience. Emphasize customer service with your staff training, or choose outsourced event staffing agencies with a critical eye.
  • Hook up couples with in-house services or a trusted vendor network.  Become a lifesaver for busy brides and grooms by coordinating the logistics (and costs) of a photographer, band or DJ, florist, bakery, and catering team. Strengthen your vendor partnerships by sending couples their way, or package everything together.
  • Provide accommodations for friends and family.  Aside from offering convenience for on-site wedding guests, position your hotel as an option for couples using other venues for their special event. They will still need wedding guest accommodations, usually under 30 minutes away. If you're running an independent wedding venue , make an effort to build strategic partnerships with area hotels, bed and breakfasts, and vacation rental companies to minimize a pain point for your customers.

Build a wedding venue business plan that makes sense for you

When writing your plan, think of your wedding venue business as a separate, independent entity , even if it’s part of an existing business.

This is an organic document, meaning it's meant to be updated on a regular basis as you experience ups and downs. In crafting your business plan, be sure to focus on these key sections:

Whatever your value proposition is, this is where to spotlight it. Go ahead and list your mission statement as well as a condensed version of every other business plan section listed below.

2. Company overview

Think of this as a high-level view of your business, explaining what you’re all about and what customers can expect out of you. Focus on your background, facilities, key resources and offerings, and your strengths and weaknesses.

3. Market analysis

Summarize all your research here so you can update it as you experience ebbs and flows in your local wedding marketplace. Be sure to include information and data on: 

  • Customers.  Segment your target customers, such as couples and event planners . Use this to personalize marketing messages to maximize your R.O.I.
  • Competitors.  Evaluate the businesses that are going to give you a run for your money. What do you do better than the competition ? In what areas do you need to play catch-up?
  • Potential growth.  Project what the wedding marketplace will be like for the next year, three years, and five years.

4. Sales and marketing

In order to enter your local wedding market successfully, you’re going to need to position your business the right way to attract customers. To do this, detail a sales and marketing strategy that includes: 

  • Goals.  Determine how many weddings per week/month/year you're looking to host. Also include how you plan to turn wedding guests into future customers.
  • Lead generation tools.  List all your online and offline marketing resources. This includes your wedding venue sourcing software , email marketing packages, websites and social media, direct marketing, advertising, sponsorships, partnerships, wedding industry memberships, and public relations efforts.

5. Organizational structure

Pay attention to your behind-the-scenes and public-facing management and staffing teams, which are essential to your operational success. List names, titles, and responsibilities to keep tabs on who's doing what. This is also the place to include the legal status of your business (sole proprietorship, limited liability company, corporation, S corporation, partnership, nonprofit, etc.).

6. Finances

As the old saying goes, you need to spend money to make money. Focus on what you need to spend on launching your endeavor, along with what you'll generate in cash flow and income.

  • Funding.  Clarify whether you own your building or will need to pay rental or lease space. Include details on any lines of credit or loans needed to purchase property, kitchen equipment, and other fixed assets. Do the same thing if you need cash to cover startup operational costs. 
  • Revenue projections.  Include your forecasted income statements, cash flow statements, and balance sheets if and when you have them.
  • Expense projections.  Cover any capital expenditures you'll need to purchase items such as your building, land, and equipment. Incorporate any operational expenses you’ll be incurring on a regular basis like staff salaries and climate control.

Clearly define your critical milestones and timeline to launch your wedding event venue business. Challenge yourself with these, but be sensible and balance your enthusiasm with realistic expectations based on research.

Make your wedding venue stand out from the competition!

Example: Barn wedding venue business plan summary

Check out this fictitious example of a wedding venue business plan for the Azalea Gardens Farm. Even though this is focused on barn weddings , you can adapt it easily to your own outstanding event space . Remember to flesh out each section in your complete business plan, adding numerous details as appropriate.

1. Mission statement

The vibrant colors of azalea blooms bring joy and hope. Our mission at the Azalea Gardens Farm is to bring that same feeling to your special day.  

Owners Stacy and David Dean bring their three decades-plus of service industry experience to bear on creating memorable wedding ceremonies and receptions. The Azalea Gardens Farm centerpiece, our 75-year-old refurbished barn, accommodates up to 150 wedding guests. Couples have use of our historic main house for rehearsal dinners as well as wedding-day prep for the bride and groom and their wedding parties. Photographers love our country setting, in addition to our convenient location just 15 minutes from the beautiful beaches of Topsail Island, North Carolina.

We provide several options for couples:

  • Rehearsal dinner: $500 - $1,200 (depending on size)
  • Wednesday-Thursday à la carte wedding rental: $1,000
  • Weekend à la carte wedding rental: $1,500
  • Weekday wedding package: $2,500
  • Weekend wedding package: $3,000

The wedding services industry is experiencing increasing per capita disposable income from couples, enabling them to spend more on weddings. Industry revenue is expected to expand to $78 billion in the U.S. Locally, the growing population and vacation popularity of the southeastern North Carolina coast is leading to an increase in 25- to 55-year-olds visiting and moving here. This provides us a market for traditional and non-traditional weddings.

Our main competitors are vacation rental agencies in North Topsail Beach, Surf City, and Topsail Beach who leverage their properties as destination wedding locations. Secondary competitors are event venues in Wilmington, North Carolina, including historic mansions, craft breweries, and a handful of boutique hotels. Third, we compete locally with Belvedere Plantation for indoor/outdoor combo weddings. There are no other farm-oriented wedding venues in a 50-mile radius.

We are looking to host five to seven weddings a week during the peak wedding season of May through November, and one to three per week throughout the rest of the year. 

Leveraging our unique, picture-perfect venue and customer service-focused guest services, we will appeal to unmarried wedding guests who want a similar experience. We also plan to use visual-oriented social media channels like Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter to grow our presence organically. In combination with a vigorous content marketing effort via our popular blog , we plan to drive website traffic with online PPC advertising on Google and YouTube; banner advertising on regional travel websites; and geofencing for area beachgoers and other tourists.

Owners Stacy and David Dean are co-founders, with David serving as CEO and Stacy as COO. General manager Heidi Kipp will coordinate all events as well as wedding planner and vendor partnerships, working with event coordinator Steve Antonsen, who will run wedding day operations.

The Deans own their facilities outright and have appropriated a $50,000 SBA loan to begin operations in the spring of 2021. Azalea Gardens Farm is uniquely positioned, with its fixed costs and low overhead, to reach $300,000 in revenue by Year 3 with a 75% gross margin.

The leadership team is currently cementing partnerships with vendors and wedding planners. Facility upgrades are complete, with plans for purchasing tables, chairs, linens, and other equipment in summer 2021. A photographer has been hired to shoot the facilities in June 2021 with actors for use in marketing efforts which will begin July 2021. We will book our first weddings in the fall of 2021, with positive cash flow realized the following summer.

How To Write a Winning Wedding Venue Business Plan + Template

Business Plan-TB

Creating a business plan is essential for any business, but it can be especially helpful for wedding venue businesses who want to improve their strategy and/or raise funding.

A well-crafted business plan not only outlines the vision for your company, but also documents a step-by-step roadmap of how you are going to accomplish it. In order to create an effective business plan, you must first understand the components that are essential to its success.

This article provides an overview of the key elements that every wedding venue business owner should include in their business plan.

What is a wedding venue business plan.

A wedding venue business plan is a formal written document that describes your company’s business strategy and its feasibility. It documents the reasons you will be successful, your areas of competitive advantage, and it includes information about your team members. Your business plan is a key document that will convince investors and lenders (if needed) that you are positioned to become a successful venture.

Why Write a Wedding Venue Business Plan?

A wedding venue business plan is required for banks and investors. The document is a clear and concise guide of your business idea and the steps you will take to make it profitable.

Entrepreneurs can also use this as a roadmap when starting their new company or venture, especially if they are inexperienced in starting a business.

Writing an Effective Wedding Venue Business Plan

The following are the key components of a successful wedding venue business plan:

Executive Summary

The executive summary of a wedding venue business plan is a one to two page overview of your entire business plan. It should summarize the main points, which will be presented in full in the rest of your business plan.

  • Start with a one-line description of your wedding venue company
  • Provide a short summary of the key points in each section of your business plan, which includes information about your company’s management team, industry analysis, competitive analysis, and financial forecast among others.

Company Description

This section should include a brief history of your company. Include a short description of how your company started, and provide a timeline of milestones your company has achieved.

If you are just starting your wedding venue business, you may not have a long company history. Instead, you can include information about your professional experience in this industry and how and why you conceived your new venture. If you have worked for a similar company before or have been involved in an entrepreneurial venture before starting your wedding venue firm, mention this.

You will also include information about your chosen wedding venue business model and how, if applicable, it is different from other companies in your industry.

Industry Analysis

The industry or market analysis is an important component of a wedding venue business plan. Conduct thorough market research to determine industry trends and document the size of your market. 

Questions to answer include:

  • What part of the wedding venue industry are you targeting?
  • How big is the market?
  • What trends are happening in the industry right now (and if applicable, how do these trends support the success of your company)?

You should also include sources for the information you provide, such as published research reports and expert opinions.

Customer Analysis

This section should include a list of your target audience(s) with demographic and psychographic profiles (e.g., age, gender, income level, profession, job titles, interests). You will need to provide a profile of each customer segment separately, including their needs and wants.

  • For example, a wedding venue business’ customers may include:
  • Wedding planners
  • Couples getting married
  • Parents of the bride or groom
  • Friends of the bride or groom

You should also describe how you will reach your target market. For example, if you are targeting wedding planners, what is your strategy for marketing to them? Will you use online advertising, networking at industry events, or direct mail?

You can include information about how your customers make the decision to buy from you as well as what keeps them buying from you.

Develop a strategy for targeting those customers who are most likely to buy from you, as well as those that might be influenced to buy your products or wedding venue services with the right marketing.

Competitive Analysis

The competitive analysis helps you determine how your product or service will be different from competitors, and what your unique selling proposition (USP) might be that will set you apart in this industry.

For each competitor, list their strengths and weaknesses. Next, determine your areas of competitive differentiation and/or advantage; that is, in what ways are you different from and ideally better than your competitors.

Below are sample competitive advantages your wedding venue business may have:

  • More locations
  • Larger venues
  • More affordable venues
  • Unique/specialty venues
  • All-inclusive packages
  • More experienced staff
  • Better customer service

Marketing Plan

This part of the business plan is where you determine and document your marketing plan. . Your plan should be clearly laid out, including the following 4 Ps.

  • Product/Service : Detail your product/service offerings here. Document their features and benefits.
  • Price : Document your pricing strategy here. In addition to stating the prices for your products/services, mention how your pricing compares to your competition.
  • Place : Where will your customers find you? What channels of distribution (e.g., partnerships) will you use to reach them if applicable?
  • Promotion : How will you reach your target customers? For example, you may use social media, write blog posts, create an email marketing campaign, use pay-per-click advertising, launch a direct mail campaign. Or you may promote your wedding venue business via public relations, speaking engagements, or by exhibiting at trade shows.

Operations Plan

This part of your wedding venue business plan should include the following information:

  • How will you deliver your product/service to customers? For example, will you do it in person or over the phone only?
  • What infrastructure, equipment, and resources are needed to operate successfully? How can you meet those requirements within budget constraints?

The operations plan is where you also need to include your company’s business policies. You will want to establish policies related to everything from customer service to pricing, to the overall brand image you are trying to present.

Finally, and most importantly, in your Operations Plan, you will lay out the milestones your company hopes to achieve within the next five years. Create a chart that shows the key milestone(s) you hope to achieve each quarter for the next four quarters, and then each year for the following four years. Examples of milestones for a wedding venue business include reaching $X in sales. Other examples include adding new locations, increasing wedding bookings by X%, or expanding service offerings.

Management Team

List your team members here including their names and titles, as well as their expertise and experience relevant to your specific wedding venue industry. Include brief biography sketches for each team member.

Particularly if you are seeking funding, the goal of this section is to convince investors and lenders that your team has the expertise and experience to execute on your plan. If you are missing key team members, document the roles and responsibilities you plan to hire for in the future.

Financial Plan

Here you will include a summary of your complete and detailed financial plan (your full financial projections go in the Appendix). 

This includes the following three financial statements:

Income Statement

Your income statement should include:

  • Revenue : how much revenue you generate.
  • Cost of Goods Sold : These are your direct costs associated with generating revenue. This includes labor costs, as well as the cost of any equipment and supplies used to deliver the product/service offering.
  • Net Income (or loss) : Once expenses and revenue are totaled and deducted from each other, this is the net income or loss.

Sample Income Statement for a Startup Wedding Venue Business

Balance sheet.

Include a balance sheet that shows your assets, liabilities, and equity. Your balance sheet should include:

  • Assets : All of the things you own (including cash).
  • Liabilities : This is what you owe against your company’s assets, such as accounts payable or loans.
  • Equity : The worth of your business after all liabilities and assets are totaled and deducted from each other.

Sample Balance Sheet for a Startup Wedding Venue Business

Cash flow statement.

Include a cash flow statement showing how much cash comes in, how much cash goes out and a net cash flow for each year. The cash flow statement should include:

  • Cash Flow From Operations
  • Cash Flow From Investments
  • Cash Flow From Financing

Below is a sample of a projected cash flow statement for a startup wedding venue business.

Sample Cash Flow Statement for a Startup Wedding Venue Business

You will also want to include an appendix section which will include:

  • Your complete financial projections
  • A complete list of your company’s business policies and procedures related to the rest of the business plan (marketing, operations, etc.)
  • Any other documentation which supports what you included in the body of your business plan.

Writing a good business plan gives you the advantage of being fully prepared to launch and/or grow your wedding venue company. It not only outlines your business vision but also provides a step-by-step process of how you are going to accomplish it.

A well-crafted business plan is an essential tool for any startup wedding venue company. It is also important to remember that your business plan should be a living document that you revisit and update as your business grows and changes.

Create The Perfect Wedding Venue Business Plan

Wedding venues are extremely lucrative and are a great way to supplement your venue’s income. But to establish a successful wedding venue business and lure in investors, you need to create an engaging wedding venue business plan.

Today’s guide will help you establish your business plan and cement your spot in the wedding venue industry.

Learn about wedding venue business plans, who needs them, and what points to cover when creating your wedding venue business plan.

What Is a Wedding Venue Business Plan?

A wedding venue business plan is a document that examines your wedding venue business in the present and provides an overview of goals for the future. The business plan lays out short and long-term goals, strategies to reach these goals, and financial forecasts.

Who Needs a Wedding Venue Business Plan?

Any wedding venue business can benefit from a business plan.

A successful wedding venue understands its goals, services, and strategies, and a business plan is a great way to conceptualize the practical aspects of business management.

While most business plans are created for new businesses, a wedding venue business plan is also advantageous if you’re hoping to grow your business. Crafting strategies for growth and putting these strategies on paper works wonders for wedding venues that have gone stagnant or are losing money.

Finally, a business plan is essential for gaining investors or applying for loans.

wedding venue business plan sample

The business plan provides investors with a snapshot of the business success plan. If you approach a potential investor with vague thoughts and dreams of success with no practical plans, you become a risky investment.

A business plan lets you bring your wedding venue plan to life. The practical applications and clear goals and strategies will encourage confidence in your business endeavors – increasing the chances of investors buying in.

Wedding Venue Business Plan | Points To Cover

Now that we’ve got the theory out of the way, let’s discuss how to create your wedding venue business plan.

Executive Summary

The executive summary is an overview of the entire wedding venue business plan.

Start the summary by creating a short mission statement for your wedding venue. The mission statement should be objective and to the point. It should also list the current status of your wedding venue business. Are you a start-up or aiming to expand your wedding venues into a franchise?

Next, create a summary for each of the below sections. The executive summary should be a short, to-the-point overview that condenses the entire report into its key points.

Keep the writing simple and firm. The report should convey confidence and engage the reader.

Company Overview

After the executive summary, the next section should outline the company overview. The company overview is an analysis of your company.

wedding venue business plan sample

The company overview should contain:

  • Background: What is the background of the business? This is especially important if you’re not a start-up. If you are a start-up, list your experience in the wedding industry.
  • Wedding Venue Facilities: What type of event space do you have available? Is it a modern wedding venue that wedding planners can convert to fit multiple themes? Is it a niche wedding venue like a barn or farmstead?
  • Business Milestones: If the wedding business is already accepting business, list all business milestones and achieved goals.
  • Strengths & Weaknesses: Be honest and objective about your business's strengths and weaknesses. It’ll help you maintain your strengths and supplement your weaknesses.
  • Legal Status: Explain the legal status of the business. Is the business owned solely by you or do you have partners? Is all business paperwork up to date? Does the wedding venue have a liquor license?

If you have any other information that you think is relevant to the business plan, add it to the business overview.

Market Analysis

Market analysis is an essential step in any wedding venue business plan. Educating yourself on the wedding venue industry ensures you build strategies backed by research and statistics. Working off guesswork leaves too much up to chance.

Doing market research will also ingratiate you to any investors or stakeholders. A well-informed and researched business owner is more likely to put resources to good use and win investments from interested parties.

wedding venue business plan sample

So, thoroughly research the wedding venue industry in your area. Your business plan should answer the following market questions.

  • What are the wedding venue trends in the local wedding market?
  • Is the wedding venue industry growing or declining?
  • Is the change consistent or influenced by external factors that will change in the future?
  • How much is the wedding venue industry bringing in annually in your area?
  • Which wedding venues are dominating the wedding market in your area?
  • What does the industry forecast look like for the next 10 years?

Add any other relevant local venue statistics you think could influence your venue business.

Customer Profile and Analysis

Next, establish your target audience. To effectively sell your wedding venue, you need to understand your customers.

First, consider your area and the local market. What is the average age of the marrying population? What wedding reception themes are doing the best? What’s the average wedding spending price?

Use this data to create customer segments – older married couples, young couples, wedding vow reaffirmation couples – and fill out the customer profiles with the gathered data.

Once you know which groups are in the area, you can create promotions, event packages, and prices that suit the local market. The customer profile should be backed by data analysis which you can gather with the help of CRM software .

Marketing Strategy

Once you understand the local market and who you want to sell to, create an effective marketing strategy to tap into local demand. An effective marketing strategy will also provide a competitive advantage and encourage investments.

First, list what the wedding venue offers. This includes the type of event space as well as catering services, wedding or event planning, and any available officials to officiate weddings.

Second, list the exact location of the wedding venue and what makes it unique. Also list the surroundings, whether it be natural landmarks or businesses, that could influence the venue’s marketing. For example, if the venue is near the mountains, it could draw in nature enthusiasts.

After you’ve established your services, create wedding venue packages for all the venue services.

Lastly, create a promotional strategy. The promotion strategy should be comprehensive and backed by research. Use the customer profiles from the previous steps to lay out how you’ll find, attract, and book target customers.

Competitor Analysis

The wedding venue business is highly competitive. To ensure your business is successful, you’ll need to examine wedding venue competitors in the area.

Create profiles for the wedding venues near you and answer the following questions.

  • What makes them different?
  • What are their strengths and target audience?
  • What are their weaknesses and how can you exploit these weaknesses?
  • Which promotional activities do they utilize that work well in the local market?
  • How does their pricing structure work?
  • How can you gain a competitive edge?

Add any other relevant competitor information that you observe and update it regularly.

Wedding Venue Business Structure

In this section, list the business operations structure of your venue business. The operations summary should showcase the internal hierarchy, teams, titles, and responsibilities of every individual.

Also, use this section to provide an in-depth overview of the legal structure of your wedding venue business.

Financial Plan

For both startups and businesses hoping for a boost, finances play a crucial role. To ensure accurate spending and financial projections, create a financial plan section where you cover the following:

  • Cash Flow Statement: What funds will you need to start and manage the business? Be thorough and list all expenses, even the ones you believe are miscellaneous.
  • Income Statements: List a breakdown of annual income for previous years. Create mock-ups of income statements based on average venue incomes and the average number of weddings you aim to host. Be realistic and honest.
  • Running Costs: Running costs include all the financing you’ll need to run the wedding business and to fulfill all the wedding venue services. Include all operations expenses like salaries, electric bills, uniforms, etc. Creating an event management budget will also streamline venue running costs.

Wedding Venue Business Goals

Lastly, manifest success by clearly outlining your business goals. List short and long-term goals for revenue, clients, and brand growth. Measure the business success by tracking the growth metrics to ensure you’re on the right track.

When creating your goals, stay within a challenging but achievable framework.

wedding venue business plan sample

The wedding planning and hosting industry is massive. While wedding venues are extremely lucrative, it’s not easy money. Business planning plays a big role in the success story.

If your wedding venue business involves serving food, you would likely need to adhere to health and safety regulations. This might involve obtaining food handler’s permits, ensuring proper food storage and preparation, and complying with health department inspections.

If you’re setting up a wedding venue in public parks or outdoor areas, there might be regulations governing the use of those spaces for events.

This could include rules about group sizes, setup structures, noise levels, and event duration. Zoning laws could impact where you are allowed to set up your wedding venue.

Depending on the scale of your operations, you might need to consider the environmental impact of your business. This could include waste management, proper disposal of materials, and adhering to any regulations related to protecting natural spaces.

Some areas have noise ordinances that restrict the level of noise that can be generated during certain hours. If your wedding venue involves music or amplified sound, you might need to adhere to these regulations.

If your wedding venue services include serving alcoholic beverages, you might need to comply with alcohol licensing laws and regulations, which can vary by state and locality.

What Is a Business Plan?

A business plan provides a snapshot of your wedding planning business as it stands today, and lays out your growth plan for the next five years. It explains your business goals and your strategies for reaching them. It also includes market research to support your plans.

Why You Need a Business Plan

If you’re looking to start a wedding planning business or grow your existing wedding planning company, you need a business plan. A business plan will help you raise funding, if needed, and plan out the growth of your wedding planning business to improve your chances of success. Your wedding planning business plan is a living document that should be updated annually as your company grows and changes.

Sources of Funding for Wedding Planning Businesses

With regard to funding, the main sources of funding for a wedding planning business are personal savings, credit cards, bank loans, and angel investors. When it comes to bank loans, banks will want to review your business plan and gain confidence that you will be able to repay your loan and interest. To acquire this confidence, the loan officer will not only want to ensure that your financials are reasonable, but they will also want to see a professional plan. Such a plan will give them the confidence that you can successfully and professionally operate a business. Personal savings and bank loans are the most common funding paths for wedding planning companies.

How to write a business plan for a wedding planning business.

If you want to start a wedding planning business or expand your current one, you need a business plan. The guide below details the necessary information for how to write each essential component of your wedding planning business plan.

Executive Summary

Your executive summary provides an introduction to your business plan, but it is normally the last section you write because it provides a summary of each key section of your plan.

The goal of your executive summary is to quickly engage the reader. Explain to them the kind of wedding planning business you are running and the status. For example, are you a startup, do you have a wedding planning business that you would like to grow, or are you operating a chain of wedding planning businesses?

Next, provide an overview of each of the subsequent sections of your plan.

  • Give a brief overview of the wedding planning industry.
  • Discuss the type of wedding planning business you are operating.
  • Detail your direct competitors. Give an overview of your target customers.
  • Provide a snapshot of your marketing strategy. Identify the key members of your team.
  • Offer an overview of your financial plan.

Company Overview

In your company overview, you will detail the type of wedding planning business you are operating.

For example, you might specialize in one of the following types of wedding planning businesses:

  • Traditional wedding planning : Wedding planners in this type of business utilize a wide array of skills to plan and execute the wedding rehearsal, the wedding ceremony, the reception, and the after-party. In many cases, the wedding planners will also plan and oversee the bridal shower, the bachelorette party, and the bachelor party, as well.
  • Wedding ceremony planning: Wedding planners are often contracted to plan exclusive or small wedding ceremonies without receptions that follow. In this type of wedding planning business, the details of the ceremony and the rehearsal prior to it are the components that require artful design and a composed execution. Wedding planners will often oversee the entire wedding party before the wedding ceremony and direct the flow of the wedding itself, as well.
  • Extreme wedding planning: With the growing popularity of unique and over-the-top weddings, extreme wedding planners are called upon to create detailed plans and highly-complex preparations for successful weddings and receptions. A bride who wants to get married in a hot air balloon, a groom who desires to get married on a professional football field, or a couple who desire to get married during an opera onstage all require the highest level of attention for a wedding planning business.
  • Destination wedding planning: Wedding planners who specialize in destination weddings have become significantly more popular in recent years. Part travel agent and part wedding planner, the skills required in this type of wedding planning business are extensive. Wedding planners will often accompany the wedding party to the destination, as well as take care of all the details.
  • Luxury wedding planning: Wedding planners are often called upon to demonstrate the highest level of luxury for a wedding and reception. This may mean a weekend wedding with guests at multiple events: pre-wedding cocktail parties, pre-wedding golf games, rehearsal dinners, wedding ceremonies, receptions and morning-after buffets are all part of the top-shelf luxuries offered by wedding planners in this type of wedding planning business.
  • Budget-saving wedding planning: In addition to brides who want the most exclusive and expensive weddings, there are those who are more practical and resourceful in their wedding plans. Wedding planners in this type of business offer reasonable rates, artful compositions, sustainable features and memorable receptions without breaking the bank for their clients.

In addition to explaining the type of wedding planning business you will operate, the company overview needs to provide background on the business.

Include answers to questions such as:

  • When and why did you start the business?
  • What milestones have you achieved to date? Milestones could include the number of clients served, the number of destination weddings with highly-positive outcomes, reaching X number of clients served, etc.
  • Your legal business Are you incorporated as an S-Corp? An LLC? A sole proprietorship? Explain your legal structure here.

Industry Analysis

In your industry or market analysis, you need to provide an overview of the wedding planning industry.

While this may seem unnecessary, it serves multiple purposes.

First, researching the wedding planning industry educates you. It helps you understand the market in which you are operating.

Secondly, market research can improve your marketing strategy, particularly if your analysis identifies market trends.

The third reason is to prove to readers that you are an expert in your industry. By conducting the research and presenting it in your plan, you achieve just that.

The following questions should be answered in the industry analysis section of your wedding planning business plan:

  • How big is the wedding planning industry (in dollars)?
  • Is the market declining or increasing?
  • Who are the key competitors in the market?
  • Who are the key suppliers in the market?
  • What trends are affecting the industry?
  • What is the industry’s growth forecast over the next 5 – 10 years?
  • What is the relevant market size? That is, how big is the potential target market for your wedding planning business? You can extrapolate such a figure by assessing the size of the market in the entire country and then applying that figure to your local population.

Customer Analysis

The customer analysis section of your wedding planning business plan must detail the customers you serve and/or expect to serve.

The following are examples of customer segments: individuals, bridal couples, families of bridal couples, and friends of bridal couples.

As you can imagine, the customer segment(s) you choose will have a great impact on the type of wedding planning business you operate. Clearly, the mother-of-the-bride would respond to different marketing promotions than young friends of the couple, for example.

Try to break out your target customers in terms of their demographic and psychographic profiles. With regards to demographics, including a discussion of the ages, genders, locations, and income levels of the potential customers you seek to serve.

Psychographic profiles explain the wants and needs of your target customers. The more you can recognize and define these needs, the better you will do in attracting and retaining your customers.

With Growthink’s Ultimate Business Plan Template you can finish your plan in just 8 hours or less!

Competitive Analysis

Your competitive analysis should identify the indirect and direct competitors your business faces and then focus on the latter.

Direct competitors are other wedding planning businesses.

Indirect competitors are other options that customers have to purchase from that aren’t directly competing with your product or service. This includes church wedding hosts, personal friends of the bride or groom, retail department stores that offer wedding attire.

For each direct competitor, provide an overview of their business and document their strengths and weaknesses. Unless you once worked at your competitors’ businesses, it will be impossible to know everything about them. But, you should be able to find out key things about them such as

  • What types of weddings are their specialty?
  • Which wedding locations and settings do they frequent?
  • What is their pricing (premium, low, etc.)?
  • What are they good at?
  • What are their weaknesses?

With regards to the last two questions, think about your answers from the customers’ perspective. And don’t be afraid to ask your competitors’ customers what they like most and least about them.

The final part of your competitive analysis section is to document your areas of competitive advantage. For example:

  • Will you provide optional amenities for the reception?
  • Will you offer wedding-related products that your competition doesn’t?
  • Will you provide better customer service?
  • Will you offer better pricing?

Think about ways you will outperform your competition and document them in this section of your plan.

Marketing Plan

Traditionally, a marketing plan includes the four P’s: Product, Price, Place, and Promotion. For a wedding planning business plan, your marketing strategy should include the following:

Product : In the product section, you should reiterate the type of wedding planning company that you documented in your company overview. Then, detail the specific products or services you will be offering. For example, will you provide 3-4 pre-wedding planning sessions with your client, will you offer a full traditional wedding and reception package, or will you offer to arrange child care for babies and children during the reception?

Price : Document the prices you will offer and how they compare to your competitors. Essentially in the product and price sub-sections of your plan, you are presenting the products and/or services you offer and their prices.

Place : Place refers to the site of your wedding planning company. Document where your company is situated and mention how the site will impact your success. For example, is your wedding planning business located in a busy retail shopping district, is it attached to a major event center, or is it near an exceptional wedding venue? Discuss how your site might be the ideal location for your customers.

Promotions : The final part of your wedding planning marketing plan is where you will document how you will drive potential customers to your location(s). The following are some promotional methods you might consider:

  • Advertise in local papers, radio stations and/or magazines
  • Reach out to websites
  • Distribute flyers
  • Engage in email marketing
  • Advertise on social media platforms
  • Improve the SEO (search engine optimization) on your website for targeted keywords

Operations Plan

While the earlier sections of your business plan explained your goals, your operations plan describes how you will meet them. Your operations plan should have two distinct sections as follows.

Everyday short-term processes include all of the tasks involved in running your wedding planning business, including answering calls, planning and providing wedding planner services, billing clients and maintaining records, etc.

Long-term goals are the milestones you hope to achieve. These could include the dates when you expect to book your Xth wedding, or when you hope to reach $X in revenue. It could also be when you expect to expand your wedding planning business to a new city.

Management Team

To demonstrate your wedding planning business’ potential to succeed, a strong management team is essential. Highlight your key players’ backgrounds, emphasizing those skills and experiences that prove their ability to grow a company.

Ideally, you and/or your team members have direct experience in managing wedding planning businesses. If so, highlight this experience and expertise. But also highlight any experience that you think will help your business succeed.

If your team is lacking, consider assembling an advisory board. An advisory board would include 2 to 8 individuals who would act as mentors to your business. They would help answer questions and provide strategic guidance. If needed, look for advisory board members with experience in managing a wedding planning business or successfully running an event planning business.

Financial Plan

Your financial plan should include your 5-year financial statement broken out both monthly or quarterly for the first year and then annually. Your financial statements include your income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statements.

Income Statement

An income statement is more commonly called a Profit and Loss statement or P&L. It shows your revenue and then subtracts your costs to show whether you turned a profit or not.

In developing your income statement, you need to devise assumptions. For example, will you meet with prospective clients three times each day, and/or offer a few, small wedding planner services as a gift to the bride? And will sales grow by 2% or 10% per year? As you can imagine, your choice of assumptions will greatly impact the financial forecasts for your business. As much as possible, conduct research to try to root your assumptions in reality.

Balance Sheets

Balance sheets show your assets and liabilities. While balance sheets can include much information, try to simplify them to the key items you need to know about. For instance, if you spend $50,000 on building out your wedding planning business, this will not give you immediate profits. Rather it is an asset that will hopefully help you generate profits for years to come. Likewise, if a lender writes you a check for $50,000, you don’t need to pay it back immediately. Rather, that is a liability you will pay back over time.

Cash Flow Statement

Your cash flow statement will help determine how much money you need to start or grow your business, and ensure you never run out of money. What most entrepreneurs and business owners don’t realize is that you can turn a profit but run out of money and go bankrupt.

When creating your Income Statement and Balance Sheets be sure to include several of the key costs needed in starting or growing a wedding planning business:

  • Cost of furnishings, decor items and office supplies
  • Payroll or salaries paid to staff
  • Business insurance
  • Other start-up expenses (if you’re a new business) like legal expenses, permits, computer software, and equipment

Attach your full financial projections in the appendix of your plan along with any supporting documents that make your plan more compelling. For example, you might include your office location lease or a list of contracted clients on a 6-month planning calendar.

Writing a business plan for your wedding planning business is a worthwhile endeavor. If you follow the template above, by the time you are done, you will truly be an expert. You will understand the wedding planning industry, your competition, and your customers. You will develop a marketing strategy and will understand what it takes to launch and grow a successful wedding planning business.

What are the Steps To Start an Event Venue Business?

Starting an event venue business can be an exciting endeavor. Having a clear roadmap of the steps to start a business will help you stay focused on your goals and get started faster.

1. Develop An Event Venue Business Plan - The first step in starting a business is to create a detailed event venue business plan that outlines all aspects of the venture. This should include potential market size and target customers, the services or products you will offer, pricing strategies and a detailed financial forecast.  

2. Choose Your Legal Structure - It's important to select an appropriate legal entity for your event venue business. This could be a limited liability company (LLC), corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship. Each type has its own benefits and drawbacks so it’s important to do research and choose wisely so that your event venue business is in compliance with local laws.

5. Choose a Location - Whether you plan on operating out of a physical location or not, you should always have an idea of where you’ll be based should it become necessary in the future as well as what kind of space would be suitable for your operations. 

6. Hire Employees - There are several ways to find qualified employees including job boards like LinkedIn or Indeed as well as hiring agencies if needed – depending on what type of employees you need it might also be more effective to reach out directly through networking events. 

7. Acquire Necessary Event Venue Equipment & Supplies - In order to start your event venue business, you'll need to purchase all of the necessary equipment and supplies to run a successful operation. 

8. Market & Promote Your Business - Once you have all the necessary pieces in place, it’s time to start promoting and marketing your event venue business. This includes creating a website, utilizing social media platforms like Facebook or Twitter, and having an effective Search Engine Optimization (SEO) strategy. You should also consider traditional marketing techniques such as radio or print advertising.

Event Planning Guide

The experienced event-planning staff at Moscow Hotels is ready to help you with any aspect of organization for MICE and private celebrations at hotels in Moscow. Just send us a Meeting Proposal Request with as much details as possible about your proposed event, and we'll be in touch soon with a number of options.

To help you choose the best venue for your particular Moscow event, we recommend that you consider the following aspects of event-planning:

When defining your budget for any event, remember that the rates for meeting space will only be one part of your expenditure, and make sure to allow a similar sum at least for equipment rental, refreshments, transport costs, etc. Once we know the type of event that you propose, Moscow Hotels will be able to provide you with an integrated estimate for all your meeting costs.

The choice of location depends, of course, not only on the best facilities available for your type of event, but also on where you will be staying and where most of your attendees will be traveling from. Many of the best and most prestigious MICE facilities are located in central Moscow, but bear in mind that traffic congestion in the city is often chronic, and downtown parking is also almost non-existent. Depending on your circumstances, you may well find it easier to use hotels on the outskirts of the city, near major airports, or near Moscow's major expo-centers.

In choosing your venue, you'll want to factor in not only the size and capacity of a space, but also its technical capabilities and the impression it will make on attendees. Remember that some of the most stylish and prestigious conferencing venues in Moscow often leave you with little opportunity to personalize the space for your own requirements. If you want to make your corporate identity felt to all attendees, you may be better off finding a more low-key, plain meeting space which can be decorated and adapted to your needs.

Depending on the type of meeting, you may well need more than one meeting venue to accommodate your event. For all except the smallest boardroom meetings, extra space can make a massive difference to the success of your meeting, allowing you to create a more personalized atmosphere, and giving you and your guests the chance to relax between sessions, with clear boundaries between working and rest areas, and the chance to share ideas under less formal circumstances. Many Moscow hotels offer transformer halls, which often provided the opportunity of creating a main meeting space and auxiliary break-out space for receiving guests and organizing refreshments.

As a general rule, the most important aspect of timing a meeting is to balance the agenda with the attention span of your attendees. Don't forget that successful meetings and conferencing events always require plenty of preparation time, and that is especially true in an unfamiliar atmosphere in a foreign country. Ensure that hotel staff fully understand what you require well in advance, and be sure to allow at least one hour for set-up, even for the most basic meetings.

Most hotels with MICE spaces in Moscow offer a reasonably extensive range of modern audiovisual equipment. However, never take for granted that all venues have exactly the equipment you need for your conferencing event. As a rule, if you have specific technical requirements, it is always worth checking with us before you book. Moreover, you will have to ensure that the materials you are bringing with you - software, electronic data, laptop computer, etc. - are compatible with local Moscow standards.

  • Request a Meeting Proposal Send us the details of your meeting or event requirements, and we'll put together a proposal for Moscow meeting space that suites your purposes.   ›››
