THE BEST ANTIDOTE TO STRESS IS KNOWLEDGE
It’s time to quit losing sleep over your business.
Wedding Business Mentor for Entrepreneurs
You’re an entrepreneur—but you don’t have to do this alone.
Consider our Wedding Business Mentors your board of advisors, here to back you up as you take your well-deserved CEO seat.
take charge of your business
We help wedding industry professionals think like executives so their businesses can thrive.
You’re unstoppable when it comes to your craft. And you love serving couples on the most beautiful day of their lives. But some days, it feels like your competition and never-ending to-do list might eat you alive.
We believe that mastering marketing, sales, and leadership is the difference between a business that succeeds and one that doesn’t—but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your well-being as the CEO.
We’ll teach you to get out from under your crippling comparison syndrome, industry skepticism (“people just aren’t booking at higher prices”), and I-have-to-do-everything-myself mentality to rise up as the badass CEO you can be ...
... without years of painful trial-and-error.

The Brains Behind WPCEO
Brandee Gaar
Founder + CEO
Brandee is a proven sales + profit strategist with a decade-long track record of helping wedding professionals, and as a wedding business mentor, transform their businesses from expensive hobbies into thriving careers.
She got her start in event planning, eventually opening her own business and quickly becoming the go-to vendor for Orlando bespoke weddings. She’ll tell you she tried everything the wrong way first, which is how she figured out how to run a business the right way. After teaching more than 1,100 wedding industry vendors through her Wedding Pro CEO curriculum, she expanded her coaching team so she could support even more professionals in their career goals.
When she’s not working with her Wedding Pro CEO clients, she still oversees her wedding planning company, Blush by Brandee Gaar, and volunteers in her church’s high school ministry with her husband (and business partner) and their 3 daughters. She lives with her family in Orlando.
Katy Padilla
BUSINESS COACH
Katy is a creative director, founder, speaker, and leader who helps wedding professionals start secondary revenue streams, market and sell their services, and grow and lead their teams.
After three years in the wedding industry, she opened her own event planning company, Scarlet Rose, right after Covid hit in 2020—making multiple-6 figures her first full year in business. She went on to gross more than $2 million in sales in less than five years. By adding design and custom decor to her business, she scaled other revenue streams and now helps WPCEO students do the same.
She started working with Brandee as a student in 2021, and joined Wedding Pro CEO as a coach in 2023. Her “featured in” list includes Style Me Pretty, People Magazine, and more. She and her husband live in Texas with their 2 children.

e always kick off our work together with a discovery call. Why can’t I just kick you my credit card, you ask? Because our Wedding Business Mentors want to make sure you get the help you need. Since we teach the same thing in each of our programs but at a different level—to different pain points—we find it’s best to put our heads together & Sorting Hat-you right into the house that fits your biz, today.

e get nerdy fast—which means if you’re ready to put in the work, we’re ready for you. We’re intense, and we own it. This isn’t the place for casual hobbyists or project-hoppers. We’re not about to let your business skate into oblivion. Instead, we’re gonna show you how to grab it by the horns—and hand you sweat towels along the way.

"I am an ex-accountant and I thought I knew my finances, but it is a completely different way of thinking from an employee to a business owner."
Amazing! I am so glad I found Brandee by complete accident—just scrolling through my TikTok feed one night—and she said exactly what I was experiencing, and I needed to know more about how she could help me.
It was a no brainer that I needed to invest in myself and my business, as school doesn’t teach you how to be a business owner and how to run a successful/profitable business.
