What I do
I work with unique venues, historic houses and a range of special places and spaces to help them thrive by hosting more and better weddings within the modern bridal market. Through my consulting and training programmes designed and written especially for venues, I empower you to learn, to modernise your offering, to take decisive action and to see outstanding results.

What is SHINE? What do you gain?
After delivering multiple sell-out SHINE wedding venue workshops for 4 years, I’ve got the message that more venues want to up-level and access my knowledge to grow their venue's bookings. I’m delighted therefore to have created an online version of this highly popular training so that venues can benefit no matter where you are based across the UK or globally.
The SHINE training programme is designed to empower you with increased industry knowledge, practical and do-able strategies as well as renewed confidence to attract more enquiries, sell more weddings and deliver more outstanding events to contented couples.
Imagine, no more guess work on what your bride is thinking and wanting, no more wasteful and unsuccessful marketing efforts, no more fruitless discounting?
By taking the time to understand the millennial bridal customer in detail, the programme educates and empowers you to update your offering both operationally and in terms of sales and marketing approaches. Written and delivered especially with unique venues in mind, it’s filled with practical, affordable tried and tested strategies and ideas which your team will want to implement to experience wedding business growth.
