The Wedding Business Magazine November Issue

magcovernov16The November issue of the Wedding Business Magazine is now live. As we are hurtling headlong towards Xmas and the end of the year I thought it might be a good time to talk about time management and making every minute of your time count, so you can be productive in this busy time. Of course this just happens to be the theme for this issue of our magazine, Time Management and Productivity. We are lucky enough to have a great interview with Barbara Fuller from Simplify Days who is a professional organiser with lots of wonderful tips and advice to share with us.

We ventured into pastures new this issue with our very first podcast interview hosted by Academy Education Director, Christine Ligthart, as she chatted to Katie Lee, a lifestyle designer for lady-go-getters.

Our cover story is with the fabulous Bruce Russell, the apogee of the international luxury bridal and party planning scene in London and beyond. He talks candidly to us about being in business and working at both the Plaza Hotel in New York and the birthday party of a certain Sarah-Jessica Parker and of course his current role with the Savoy Hotel.

Christina Farrow of Aisle Planner wrote us a fantastic article on Prioritizing Productivity: Staying on Task and on Track While Growing A Successful Planning Business. We were also lucky enough to have Christina Scalera Steps to finally start that “someday” business (and how to invest in it early on).

Our regular columns with Meghan Ely on WedPR, Kathy DalPra on WedSEO, Shannon DePalma on WedSocial, Heidi Thompson WedPromo, Tina Reading on WedDigital and Emma Etheridge on WedBiz are also packed with great advice and tips.
