The Wedding Industry Conference for Pros Who are Ready to Think—and Lead—Like CEOs
June 1-4, 2026 | Orlando, Florida
I'm Ready
The WPCEO Summit is a hands-on, high-impact experience built around the 4 pillars every scaling wedding business owner must master:
Team.
Sales.
Marketing.
and Profit.
Every CEO in this room made a decision to go all in. They’ve outgrown hustle culture and guesswork—and they’re here to scale smarter, lead better, and build something that lasts.
The Room is the Strategy.
The power of the WPCEO Summit isn’t just in the content.
Get Me In This Room
It’s in the conversations that happen after.
It’s in the collaborations that happen next.
It’s in the belief you borrow from someone 3 steps ahead, and pass down to someone 3 steps behind.
You’re not meant to do this alone.
Get in the room where it finally clicks.
"Worth every penny. I left with actionable intel, powerful new connections, and a renewed fire to lead. This event is priceless."
— Kirin White, Planner
"Fluff-free, intimate, and completely energizing. If you’re ready to level up and ditch the woo, this is your room."
— Katelyn Peterson, Vow + Speech Writer
"The best business conference I’ve ever attended. The people, the energy, the takeaways—this is where CEOs are made."
— Erica Jankowski, Wedding Musician
"This isn’t just inspiration—it’s transformation. Tools, clarity, real-time implementation, and support from people who get it."
— Kandra Jones, HMU Artist
"The Summit was the boost I needed to strategize and plan ahead for the second half of the year and 2026! I can't wait until the next one."
— Patti Falconer, Venue Owner
"I’ve gone from working every weekend to leading a full team and planning my financial future. The Summit helped me build the company I always imagined."
— Miriam Ackerman, Planner
“WOW. I am SO glad I went. Not only did I get to personally connect with some of the most brilliant people I didn't even know existed before, but I also got so much out of their talks. I highly recommend this summit over all the other conferences I've done.”
— Rocheal Matthews, Photographer
Every moment is designed to move your business forward—fast. No fluff. No filler. Just clarity, strategy, and execution in a room full of wedding pros scaling to 6 and 7 figures.
This Isn’t a Conference.
It’s a Business Intervention.

Do I need to be making 6 figures already?
You don’t—but you should have momentum. If you’re consistently booking, growing, and tired of being the bottleneck, this is the next step. This isn’t a beginner-level event—it’s CEO work from day one.
back to frequently asked questions
I’ve been to other conferences. How is this different?
This isn’t a lecture hall or hype fest. It’s a workshop-style experience with real implementation, real strategy, and real-time coaching. The speakers are in the room with you—not hiding backstage. You’ll leave with decisions made, systems mapped out, and relationships that last.
back to frequently asked questions
Is this only for planners?
Not at all. If you're a wedding pro—photographer, florist, DJ, rentals, caterer, venue, etc…—scaling your business with a real team, real systems, and big profits, you belong in this room.
back to frequently asked questions
I don’t have a team yet—can I still attend?
Absolutely. Many owners come solo and leave with a blueprint to hire their first key players without risking burnout or chaos.
back to frequently asked questions
What’s the time commitment?
Plan to be in Orlando from June 1–4, 2026. VIP Day (optional) is June 1, and the full Summit experience begins that evening with a welcome party. The main event runs June 2–4, with a farewell breakfast on the final morning.
back to frequently asked questions
What’s included in the ticket?

- Meals during event hours + welcome party + closing night event
- Thursday grab-and-go farewell breakfast
back to frequently asked questions
Can I bring my business partner or teammate?
Yes, but only if they’re leading operations or strategy. This isn’t assistant training. It’s CEO-level work. If they’ll be building alongside you, absolutely, they’re welcome.
back to frequently asked questions
What’s the dress code?
Come as the CEO you are. Think elevated casual for sessions and resort chic for evening events. You’ll be moving, co-working, and connecting so wear what makes you feel powerful and ready.
back to frequently asked questions
Is there a payment plan?
Yes. We offer flexible payment plans at checkout. Because we want your investment to be in your growth, not your limitations.
back to frequently asked questions

You’ve Got the Vision. We’ve Got the Room.
You already know what needs to change. You’ve outgrown the seat you’re in and now it’s time to step fully into the role of CEO.
Seats are limited. Growth is not.
Lock in my seat
This isn’t just about more money.
It’s about more ownership. More freedom. More alignment.
And it starts with getting in the right room.
The Wedding Pro CEO Summit is where the next-level version of your business—and your leadership—comes to life.
