🛠️ [ Website Audit ] -- Is your website ready to sell you?
Why: Your website is the space on the web that you OWN. It's where you have control over the vibe and experience when clients come to check you out. Social media is also very important, but rarely will couples or coordinators book you based on how many followers you have/or don't.
Here's what you'll get: I will audit your website, its layout, speed, visuals, and most importantly -- messaging -- to ensure your website effectively highlights your band for corporate and wedding clients.
**Most people planning events are inquiring with multiple bands at a time. Don't leave ANYTHING up to chance.**
The audit will include specific recommendations and resources to boost your credibility of getting more brides, wedding coordinators, and event planners to contact you and start conversations, even if you've never played a wedding (or many) before.
- Format: Editable Google Doc or Word Doc
- Links to resources and step by step action plan
- Website Audit Pricing: $300
- BETA Pricing: $200 ($100 off)
You'll have a step-by-step roadmap to have your website optimized and ready to 'win more weddings' by putting your best foot forward for brides and coordinators.
----------------------------------------------------📲 [ Social Media Audit + Plan ] -- How to turn your socials into leads
Why: Instagram and Facebook are where people 'hang out'. It's that simple. Your presence there is important so that you can stay top of mind. It also allows people looking for entertainment a chance to see you in action; like how you engage with your fans, what your shows look like, and a real basic one -- are you even nice?!
Here's what you'll get: This package also includes website audit!
-- Social Platform Audit: I look at your activity across key platforms (Facebook, Instagram, etc.) and identify areas for improvement.
-- Audience Insights: I'll look underneath the hood and analyze your current audience demographics and engagement and make suggestions on how to reach more corporate and wedding planners.
-- 30 Day Content Calendar: I'll show you how to create and even automate engaging posts on a monthly basis.
-- Recorded Video Report: Receive a comprehensive video summary outlining my report findings and actionable recommendations for improvement. I'll screen share so you can see what I'm looking at and get a walk through of any tools.
- Format: Marketing Plan -- includes web audit, social audit, 30-day social calendar, and recorded video summary
- Social Media Audit + Plan Pricing: $500
- BETA Pricing: $350 ($150 off)
You'll have a step by step roadmap on using social media as strategic tool to drive interested brides to your 'wedding-ready' website.

🎥 [ Content and Consulting ] - Accelerate your booking readiness
Why: The holidays are coming up and typically a really busy season for PROPOSALS. With weddings and events, most things happen in seasons and the fall/winter (i.e. right now) is when you want to be 'wedding ready' for 2025 brides and beyond.
*** Basically this is what you'd choose if you want to hop on a couple of Zoom's to really dive deep AND have me create 30 days of content for you to get started!
(1) Kickoff Call & Recorded Video Summary: Discuss your band's goals and receive a video to really dive into your goals and feasibility plan.
(1) Summary Call & Recorded Video Summary: Instead of a recorded video report, the summary call can be the second live Zoom where I talk to you about your audits, recommend a content plan, and show you recommendations.
Content Creation: I'll make 30 days of content (about 12-15 posts assuming you post 3x/week). It'll be a mix of genre, lifestyle, and wedding-specific posts and templates you can repurpose on a regular basis.
- Format: Zoom calls and editable posts and videos (Canva)
- Content and Consulting Pricing: $950
- BETA Pricing: $750 ($200 off)
Not only will you have a step by step roadmap for social media, a step by step guide to a 'wedding ready' website, but you'll have posts ready to share and 1:1 help to get it started.
