We asked, and here’s what you said:

✨ Instagram: 63%
✨ Your website: 23%
✨ Wedding fairs: 9%
✨ Word of mouth: 6%

It’s clear—your social media presence is key to securing those gigs! But getting enquiries is only half the battle—converting them into bookings is the real win, right?

We asked our Sales & Marketing experts for their top tips to convert Instagram DMs into bookings:
1️⃣ Set up automated replies—share key info like links to your website, pricing, availability checker or, even better your booking page (so you’re always one step ahead).
2️⃣ Add FAQs to your Instagram DMs—you can set up to four FAQs that help potential customers get instant answers to their questions (without you ever having to even reply)
3️⃣ Link your website or booking page in your bio—if you need multiple links you can use tools like Lnk.bio or Linktree.
4️⃣ Reply promptly—couples love quick responses, and if you're quick you'll secure a booking before your competitors swoop in.
5️⃣ Create a FAQ highlight—make it easy for couples to find details like availability, pricing, and services without having to ask.
6️⃣ Make booking easy—use a tool like go book it to handle bookings directly, no faff required.

our Instagram isn’t just a portfolio; it’s a booking machine waiting to happen. You just need to make a few minor tweaks...

We asked newlyweds which suppliers they actually booked for their big day, and the results are in! 🎉

📸 93.5% booked a photographer (we’re as shocked as you that this isn’t 100%—but then again, there’s always that one couple who trusts their mate with an iPhone 👀)

🎤 82.6% booked entertainment (no music? really? we’d love to know what the other 17.4% did—awkward silence and a playlist called ‘Vibes’?)
🌸 82.6% booked a florist (surely it’s not a wedding without flowers? But hey, maybe eucalyptus and pampas grass do count as a ‘full floral setup')
💄 78.3% booked a makeup artist (some brides obviously have their own makeup skills down)
🍽️ 69.6% booked catering (over 30% of couples didn’t have food at their wedding…? A bold choice. We can only assume someone’s nan stepped in with a buffet)
🎂 50% booked a cake maker (turns out the traditional wedding cake isn’t a must-have for everyone)
💍 24% booked a celebrant (a number that’s only going to grow as more couples opt for personalised ceremonies)
📸 15.2% booked a photobooth (because let’s be honest, guests love an excuse to take ridiculous photos after a few drinks)
🎭 15.2% booked a stylist/prop hire (turns out the DIY wedding isn’t going away anytime soon… Suppliers, we feel your pain.)
📝 4.3% booked an event planner (which means a lot of couples took on a lot of planning themselves… suppliers, we salute you for keeping them on track!)

Wedding suppliers, does this surprise you? What’s the one supplier you think every wedding needs? Wedding suppliers, what do you think? Are any of these numbers surprising?

🚨 Wedding Suppliers, This is Your Sign to Make Booking EASY! 🚨
The brides have spoken! We asked newlyweds what made them book their wedding suppliers, and well… the results are in:

📢 93% said they’d be more likely to book if they could see prices & packages upfront.
📢 52% said they’d book faster if they could check availability without asking.

Yet, somehow, we’re still out here making couples work harder to book a wedding supplier than to find a date when all your 30-something friends with kids are actually free for a catch-up. 🤦‍♀️

Couples don’t want to jump through hoops to book you! Let’s talk about their biggest wedding supplier red flags:

❌ Making brides DM for pricing like it’s some sort of secret
❌ Expecting couples to go on a scavenger hunt just to find package details
❌ Missing out on bookings because they don’t even know if you’re available

💡 The fix? It's simple. Give couples what they want:
✅ Show your prices so they don’t have to ask.
✅ Make your packages easy to find so they can book faster.
✅ Show your availability upfront so they don’t move on to someone else.

Brides will love you for it—we promise!

Do you already have your pricing & availability visible, or are you still playing hard to get? 👀

How many of these have happened to you? 1-3? You’re a newbie. 4-10? You’ve seen some things. 11+? You deserve a medal (and probably a stiff drink). 🍷😂

From iPhone-wielding guests blocking the perfect shot to last-minute changes and venue setup issues, wedding supplier life is not for the faint of heart 🫠🥵

PSA: Zendaya & Tom Holland's engagement might still be a rumour, but thousands of other couples have gotten engaged FOR REAL!

Yep, while the internet loses its mind over Zendaya's Golden Globes jewellery choices, one thing is for sure—engagement season is happening right now and newly engaged couples are on the hunt for their dream wedding suppliers (cough, cough, you 👀).

So, wedding pros, are you making the most of it? Here’s how to get booked before someone else does:

✅ Add pricing & availability to your website – 93.9% of couples are more likely to book a supplier who makes this info easy to find. Don’t make them dig for it!

✅ Update your website & socials – Your best work should be front and centre. Newly engaged couples are scrolling right now—make sure what they see makes them want to book you.

✅ Create a ‘book now’ incentive – Early-bird deal? VIP bonus? Give couples a reason to say “Yep, let’s do this.”

✅ Show off your best work – Post glowing reviews, real wedding pics, and BTS gold. If past couples loved you (which they obviously did), future couples need to know about it.

✅ Respond FAST – Couples book the first supplier who gets back to them. Don’t leave them on read. Or better yet, add our instant booking widget and let the go book it platform do the work for you. 😉

✅ Be where couples are searching – Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok, wedding groups—show up where they’re looking so they actually find you.

✅ Make booking you EASY – No one has time for endless back-and-forth emails. A smooth, stress-free way to book? That’s our whole thing. Just saying. 🤷‍♀️

Engagement season is still going strong—so don’t miss out! Secure those 2025 bookings while couples are still riding the engagement high.
