As a wedding planner, email is most likely your number one way to communicate. We use emailing to communicate with both vendors and clients. It is much faster to pump out an email than it is getting on the phone and calling someone. And God forbid they don’t pick up- time wasted! You can stay focused and on task a whole lot easier when you don’t have someone on the other end getting you off topic. There are certain moments where a call is truly needed, don’t get me wrong, but for most things, email is the best why to communicate.
Wedding Planner Email Templates
I also love email because it leaves a recorded record and helps keeps things documented. I’m someone who covets their time and I learned early in my career that email templates were instrumental in my communications to clients. But there are times in a wedding planner’s career where we have to write an email that’s a little outside of the norm. It can be really hard coming up with the right words. Well, today is your lucky day, I’m sharing several wedding planner email templates you can steal from me.
Rise and Repeat Wedding Planner Emails Templates
First, lets talk about why email templates are so very necessary in your wedding planner business. A few years into my wedding planner career, I noticed that most of my emails were starting to do a “rinse and repeat”. At thirty days out, I would write the same email for every client. Something for three weeks out and so on and so on. I would adjust a few words and here and there, but for the most part I simply cut and paste the content from one client to another.
Saving Time with a CRM
In fact, I ended up going one step further and adding those emails to my automated workflow. Now, I no longer had to think about physically sending my clients their “Client Worksheet” email, HoneyBook took care of it for me! This is why I feel in love with creating workflows.
