SPEAKING
Honestly, We just like to talk with people!
My husband can’t believe it, but people actually pay me to come talk to them! I think that sometimes he would actually pay me to shut up (just kidding)!
To tell you the truth I sometimes can’t believe it either. This probably comes as a shock to most everyone that knows me, but I was actually painfully shy growing up. I actually had report cards that said “Such a pleasure to have in class. I hardly know she’s here.” Seriously!
Well I don’t think anyone would write that about me now (except that I am still a pleasure to have in class) – Shea and I have successfully chatted up a storm in a number of states and countries – yeah, we keep our passports up to date! From Wedding MBA in sunny Las Vegas to The Wedding Conference in sunny Trinidad, we’d love to visit your group too! (I always have my bathing suit at the ready – note the constant reference to “sunny” locations!)
We speak on a number of wedding and event business related topics and can tailor our talk to your group’s interests:
- How To Attract Your Ideal Client
- SEO For Your Wedding Website
- Discovering & Understanding Your Ideal Client
- Positioning Your Website To The High End Bride
- How To Avoid Discounting In Your Wedding Business
- The Sales Process
- And more – from 60 minutes of group speaking to a full day of group instructional training.
Because we do book prime dates quickly it’s best to connect with us as soon as you have your date nailed down to check our availability – or better yet, check with us first before you book your date!
Speaking Information
We love all types of events, from one hour speaking engagements (like during an industry luncheon or a dinner) to full day action oriented workshops! Connect with us to discuss what you have in mind. We’ll work with you to design a class or workshop that is just right for your group. And, yes, you get us both! (Hope you can handle it.)
Cost is event dependent, with a $1,500 travel fee plus hotel (within the states). What’s the travel fee cover? Airfare (remember, there’s 2 of us!), car rental/taxi service, meals on the road, childcare, and more – basically, all of the expenses that we would incur by working on the road that we wouldn’t incur by working from our home office.

Cheryl and Shea, thanks so much for driving out to see us in Houston and being a guest speaker at our ABC event. The entire group of attendees walked away with extremely valuable tips we could all use immediately to improved our websites.
One of the attendees who also attended a one-on-one consultation the following day says "honestly it was money well spent and that you guys were so helpful and truly cared about seeing her business grow."
In the future we would love to have you back to speak again. Your no-nonsense, HONEST, and candid presentation was entertaining and informative. You are doing a lot to help mentor and coach fellow wedding professionals and it was quite obvious that this is a true passion of yours. Until we meet again,
