In this month’s Business of Weddings Podcast I talk to Kristin Banta about branding and how as consumers we all have relationships with brands and what that means to us as wedding professionals.

With an extensive background in fashion, entertainment, and event production, as well as experience in catering and interior design, Kristin creates unforgettable celebrations while bringing a fresh perspective to the mix. Known within her community as a long-standing advocate for marriage equality, she is passionate about helping her clients find their own voice for their wedding day. Her events, from society weddings in exclusive locations to progressive film and music industry soirees, are as unique and diversified as her clientele, which range from Fortune 500’s to multi-platinum recording artists.

What you’ll learn in this podcast:

What branding means to a wedding business and how to apply it to your own business
How to make your brand stand out
How to relate your brand story to your ideal client
How to identify where your ideal client is socializing
