5 Ways Wedding Suppliers Can Take Control of Their Bookings
In the world of weddings, it’s easy to feel like you’re stuck waiting. Waiting for enquiries. Waiting for “wedding season.” Waiting to be noticed.
But here’s the truth: you don’t have to wait for opportunities — you can create them.
Whether you’re new to the game or a seasoned pro, there are always ways to drive more visibility, connection, and yes — bookings. Here are 5 powerful, practical ways to make it happen.
1. Go to Networking Events (and actually speak to people!)
Showing up in real life is a game-changer. The right networking event isn’t just handing out business cards — it’s where collaborations are born, referrals happen, and friendships form that actually grow your business.
Want in? Come to Liverpool Wedding Network – it’s free, friendly, and packed with opportunities.
2. Collaborate with Suppliers Who Share Your Ideal Client
Instead of seeing other suppliers as competition, think of them as teammates.
Photographers, florists, stylists, MUAs, cake artists, venues – you’re all serving the same couples.
Set up a styled shoot, tag each other in posts, shout each other out on stories. It’s powerful, low-cost marketing and builds trust with potential clients.
3. Host your own mini event or open studio day
Don’t wait to be invited — create the moment.
Invite couples or industry pros to see your work in person, experience your space, or join you for a behind-the-scenes demo.
It’s perfect for photographers, MUAs, florists, cake makers, venues — anyone who wants to show off what they do in real life and start genuine conversations that lead to bookings.
4. Pitch Yourself for Opportunities
Don’t wait to be asked. Reach out to venues to be added to their recommended supplier list. Offer to speak at an event. Suggest a guest post or reel swap with another business.
You never know what doors will open until you knock.
5. Show Up Online Like You’re Already Booked Out
Energy matters. People are drawn to businesses that look busy, confident, and in-demand. Even if your calendar’s empty, act like a pro with value-packed content, testimonials, and consistent posting.
Go live. Share behind-the-scenes. Repost that glowing client feedback. Opportunities come to those who are visible.
Final Thoughts:
You are the magic ingredient in your business.
Opportunities aren’t something you wait for — they’re something you make.
So grab your diary, plan your next move, and start creating momentum today. And if you’re looking for a room full of fellow go-getters, join us at Liverpool Wedding Network. We’d love to meet you!
