Are you in the first five years of your career as a wedding planner? Whether you’ve got some systems in place (and are just realizing the importance of templates), or you are brand new to the wedding planning industry and are starting from zero, you’re in the right place. I believe in you, and I know that with the right tools and guidance, you can build a profitable business with purpose as a wedding planner. In this blog post, I’m sharing the best wedding planner templates that I believe everyone needs in their digital toolkit. To see all of the wedding planner templates I have available, head straight to my shop here.

Wedding planner templates will help you make QUICK progress in your business and deliver a better overall client experience. Plus, why try to invent something on your own when it already exists?! Using templates in your wedding planning business is the SMART way to grow your company and make sure your clients all have a consistent experience with you.

Onboarding Templates for Wedding Planners

Too many wedding planners focus on the sales process and the planning process. The problem with this? They miss the chance to make a great first impression in between. A well-structured onboarding process should include a mix of initial client intake forms, setting expectations, and welcoming emails. Plus, you want your onboarding process to show your clients that you're fully committed to making their dream wedding a reality and that you've got every detail covered – even if they hired you in the middle of your busiest season. Remember, this is EXCITING! 

In my onboarding playbook, I include:

• My 8-step framework for onboarding new couples
• An onboarding questionnaire swipe file for you to copy and paste into your CRM
• Onboarding templates you need to have to save time
• Everything you need to have it up and automated in a few hours!

Full Service Wedding Planning Process Templates

While planning a wedding doesn’t fit neatly into a template (every wedding is different, after all!), having a signature approach is important and sets you apart in a saturated industry. It's your secret sauce, your tried-and-true recipe for success. It’s what will make your ideal clients refer you over and over again. 

For those who are just starting out (or those of you reading who know you have room for improvement), my Signature Full-Service Wedding Planning Process Playbook offers you a plug n' play solution that guides you through every step of the journey. With these wedding planning process templates, you can confidently help your couples with budget planning, vendor selection, timeline creation, and managing their to-do lists, all while still leaving room for creativity and personalization. These wedding planner templates truly will become the backbone of your business, ensuring that each wedding you plan is a memorable and stress-free experience for your clients. Plus, your signature approach is something you can work into sales conversations too, and can be the deciding factor for couples to choose YOU.

Month of Coordination Templates

I have to be honest with you – I’m not a super big fan of this service. In my opinion, Month of Coordination is one of the most challenging services you’ll offer as a wedding planner. That being said, I know you may get inquiries (and want to book them to fill your calendar). So, with that in mind, having pre-made templates will help ensure that you have every tool at your disposal.

If you don’t have a process for month of coordination yet, my Month of Coordination Templates are designed to simplify the complex tasks involved in the final month leading up to the big day. Complete with swipe copy you can use (and a client welcome guide done for you in Canva), you’ll have everything you need to feel confident during the month of coordination process. 

Plus, I will show you the potential opportunities you have to upsell your customers and make more money too!

A Client Dashboard Wedding Planner Template

Effective communication goes beyond endless email exchanges. Your clients are relying on you to provide them with a system that keeps every detail organized. Knowing this, that's precisely what the Client Dashboard in my shop offers. From managing the guest list and tracking RSVPs to creating the perfect seating plan, monitoring the budget, and keeping track of client to-do lists, your couples are relying on you to have a wedding planner template in place to keep them on track (and confident in your process!). 

The truth is that this is probably one of the MOST important wedding planner templates you can have at your disposal. Without some form of client dashboard template, it might look like you don’t know what you’re doing (which is the fastest way to have your clients lose confidence and start micro-managing you!). 

Sales Scripts for Wedding Planners

I know this isn’t the most glamorous part about being a wedding planner, but the truth is you NEED to learn how to be a great salesperson if you want to run a profitable wedding business. If sales don't come naturally to you, that’s okay! It's a skill that can be cultivated, honed, and perfected. You WILL get better the more you do it!

Want a head start? That’s where our Plug n' Play Sales Scripts come into play. Whether it's responding to initial inquiries, following up after consultations, or negotiating contracts, having a script on hand provides you with a structured approach to selling your services. 

Remember, practice makes perfect. Use these scripts as your foundation, and with time, you'll find yourself becoming a skilled salesperson who can effortlessly convey the value you bring to your clients every single time.

Canva Brochures Templates for Wedding Planners

While most templates for wedding planners will need to be customized per couple (and per service), it’s also worth having some Canva brochure templates that serve as resources for your couples. These are things that don’t necessarily have to do with you as a planner but make the planning process for your couples easier. Things like:

• A wedding vendor tipping guide
• Vow writing advice
• An “End of the Night” Person in charge guide
• Guide to preparing your guest list
• And so much more!

This makes it easy for your clients to take quick action, answers their common questions, and keeps the planning process moving. If you want, you can steal my client communication templates and pick them up in my shop!

Wedding Planner Questionnaire Swipe File Templates

Listen, I can't stress enough how important it is to ask the right questions when working with your clients. As someone who has been in the industry for over 15 years now, I've learned that understanding your clients' desires, expectations, and preferences is the key to crafting their dream wedding. It's an art, really, and it comes with experience. 

However, when you don’t have experience yet (we all start somewhere!), I'm here to help. That's why I offer questionnaire templates in my shop. These templates, such as the wedding planner budget questionnaire, wedding ceremony rehearsal questionnaire, and wedding design questionnaire, are designed to not only save you time but also help you create unforgettable wedding experiences for your clients. Remember, asking the right questions is the foundation of exceptional wedding planning, so it’s worth getting these right! Plus – having a template makes it EASY for you to give your clients a consistent experience.

Wedding Planner Packages and Pricing Templates

This one comes back to SALES. If you want to sell your services consistently, you’re going to want some templates to make it easier for you! Have you ever found yourself struggling with how to price your services effectively? You’re definitely not alone if you are copying what your competitors are doing. 

Inside my wedding planner packages and pricing templates, you'll learn my proven framework for confidently pricing every planning service you offer. Inside this resource, you'll discover the mistakes you can't afford to make with your pricing, a step-by-step guide on how to price your planning services, pricing calculators and formulas that are easy to understand, insights into the three different pricing models planners can use, and which pricing model is the MOST profitable. Plus, you'll gain access to a Profitability Google Sheet with pricing calculators. I usually only share this with my high-ticket mastermind members. 

Wedding Rehearsal Playbook

Let’s be honest – managing a wedding rehearsal can be one of the most intimidating parts of the wedding planning process. I've been there myself, and I understand that feeling of having all those eyes on you. But let me tell you, it's worth having the right tools and templates at your disposal to guide you through this CRITICAL phase. There’s nothing worse than losing your client’s confidence the day before the wedding! 

In my shop, you'll find my Wedding Rehearsal Framework, which is designed to help you navigate rehearsals with confidence. This comprehensive resource includes a step-by-step guide on how to run your wedding rehearsals flawlessly. I share what to include in your bridal party timelines, complete with examples of bridal party timelines to ease your planning, conversational scripts that provide you with the exact words to say during the rehearsal (without sounding like a robot), and I even include a pre-wedding rehearsal questionnaire to send out to your couples.

Wedding Design Templates

When I work with wedding planners as a business coach, wedding design is often the service they are most excited about. After all, the opportunity to bring your clients' dreams to life through design is magical. Who doesn’t want to play with a 7 figure budget and bring to life designs that (let’s be honest) most of us could never afford?

However, if you are dying to design and find yourself battling imposter syndrome along the way, know that you're not alone. Many of us have been there, questioning our creative abilities and wondering what really qualifies us to call ourselves a “wedding designer”. 

That's why I've created the ultimate guide to wedding design in my shop. This resource will empower you to tackle design challenges with confidence. In this guide, you'll understand exactly what services to offer your clients as a wedding designer, learn my exact framework for delivering million-dollar designs, and have a complete design process from idea generation to mood board creation to your design dossier. I also include a Design Questionnaire Swipe File to make sure you gather all the right information to create designs that leave your clients saying YES to your design deck. 

Once you've picked up my design Playbook, make sure to grab these two wedding planner canva templates:

• Wedding Planner Design Deck
• Wedding Planner Inspiration Boards

Offboarding Templates for Wedding Planners

Last but not least, you need offboarding templates. Like your onboarding process (the first wedding planner template I mentioned!), I consider offboarding templates to be one of the most important resources you can have in your wedding planning business.

Inside my offboarding playbook, you'll find my framework for saying goodbye to your clients with intention and strategy. You want to leave them not only satisfied but eager to work with you again and ready to refer your services to all their friends. My offboarding templates include tools to help you create an intentional offboarding process, become more comfortable asking for testimonials and feedback, gain valuable insights from your past clients that can be used for marketing and business improvement, develop an opportunity to create legacy clients, and feel confident in how you say goodbye to your customers. The way you say goodbye matters, so don’t rush this step!

Why Wedding Planner Templates Are So Important
