You can't pour ch*****ne from an empty glass. 🥂

Wedding professionals are REALLY good at taking care of everyone else.

The couple.
The family.
The vendors.
The timeline.
The details.
The emergency nobody was supposed to know happened. 😅

But who's taking care of YOU?

We're excited to welcome Holly Melby of Reset Health to The Bridal Haven for:

✨ You Can't Pour Ch*****ne from an Empty Glass

Simple Strategies to Protect Your Nervous System and Prevent Burnout in the Wedding Industry

Holly will share realistic strategies wedding + event professionals can use before, during, and after event days to calm the nervous system, recover faster, and protect their health without sacrificing their business.

Because building a successful business shouldn't require running yourself into the ground.

This is one conversation our industry needs. 🤍

Another networking event?

Not exactly. 😉

When you leave The Bridal Haven, our hope is that you're walking away with:

✨ New relationships

✨ Marketing + business ideas you can actually use

✨ Honest conversations with people who understand this industry

✨ Fresh perspective

✨ Potential collaborations + referrals

✨ Tools to better care for yourself AND your business

✨ A renewed excitement for what you're building

Because we don't want you to leave with a bag of swag and a stack of business cards you'll never look at again.

We want you to leave thinking:

“I am SO glad I got in that room.”

From the outside, the wedding industry looks incredibly social.

We're constantly surrounded by couples, families, guests, vendors, and celebrations.

But running the BUSINESS behind it?

That can sometimes feel pretty lonely.

That's one of the reasons The Bridal Haven exists.

To create a place where we can talk honestly.

Ask questions.

Share what's working.

Admit what's not.

Learn from one another.

Build relationships.

And leave knowing there are other people figuring this out right alongside us.

We're creating that room again September 22.

And there's a seat for you. 🤍

You CAN build a business by yourself.

But you don't have to. 🤍

5 relationships we believe every wedding + event professional should be building:

→ The people who refer you when you're not in the room.

→ The people who understand the unique challenges of this industry.

→ The people who challenge you to think bigger.

→ The people you can collaborate with instead of compete against.

→ The people a few steps ahead who are willing to share what they've learned.

Because sometimes the most valuable thing you gain from an industry event isn't something written in your notebook.

It's the person sitting beside you.

That's what we're creating at The Bridal Haven.

NICE IS NOT A BUSINESS PLAN. 👏

And sometimes, “yes” can be one of the most expensive words in your business.

We're so excited to welcome Amanda Baer of Amanda Baer Coaching to The Bridal Haven!

Amanda spent eight years building a local salon into a seven-figure business known for how it treated people — earning Salon Today's Top 200 in North America recognition multiple years and a nationally recognized customer service award along the way.

And she'll be the first to tell you: the systems weren't the problem.

The yeses were.

Her session:

✨ Nice Is Not a Business Plan: Why Yes Is the Most Expensive Word in Your Business

We're talking about the small agreements we make to keep everyone happy, what they quietly cost us, and how to build boundaries into our processes so they can hold on their own.

Whether you're running strong, starting to feel the drag, or already on the other side of a hard season, you're going to want to hear this conversation.

September 22 | The Cannery

Come learn from Amanda + spend the morning surrounded by other business owners who get it.

Are you making those seconds count?

At The Bridal Haven, Jayci Trujillo—founder of Happy Girl Marketing—will share why a strong Instagram bio is so important for local businesses and how it can help the right people quickly understand who you are, what you offer, and why they should take the next step.

With a background in business and marketing, plus an MBA she earned while working full-time, Jayci combines strategy that makes sense on paper with ideas that actually work in real life. She now leads a team helping business owners show up online in a way that feels consistent, strategic, and genuinely like them.

We can’t wait to learn from Jayci—and give our Instagram bios a fresh look! 📱
