What Planners Are Saying About The Vault:

The Vault has been a game changer for my business! I have been a member of several other wedding planner groups (paid and unpaid) and this one is BY FAR the most interactive and provided the most applicable information for my business! BEST investment I have made in business!!

Owner, White Magnolia Events

The Planner’s Vault is what every new or existing struggling planner needs! The content is relevant, easily digestible, practical and tangible.
When I look at a price tag for anything related to development, I look at what kind of ROI Is associated with it. This subscription has paid for itself already. The time it would take to develop all the documents released in the first two months, save weeks worth of work! Time is money!

I 100% recommend Megan!! She

helped me take my new wedding business from 6 weddings to over

20 in just 6 months. She is so

amazing, kind,and willing to help

possible.

Love Love Love Megan!

Signing up for the Planner's Vault was one of the best educational decision I have made for myself and my team! I have been in the business for 5 years and have a well-established business. Yet, every single week I am learning something new! Between the constant new content, the webinars and even our Facebook group discussions, I have seen in just a matter of months how more confident and knowledgeable our whole team is. My favorite feature is our monthly webinars. Megan has brought in some incredible speakers to speak on topics that I have always wanted to learn more about but just haven't dedicated the time to. As the owner of the company, the content has been invaluable to the training of new planners on our team. I cannot recommend the Planner's Vault enough!!

Owner, Harmony Weddings & Events

In a quest to take my planning biz to the next level, I have kissed a few frogs ( by paying for coaches, planner communities, you name it). I must be honest, Megan you are so genuine and I have no regrets signing up for the Vault. The content, community, biz gems, guidance, support in this community far out weighs the investment cost. You are not just a Talker like most coaches out there but a Doer!! The content is relevant, easy to navigate and the ongoing engagement is priceless.

Owner, Adeola Damie Celebrations

My advice: DO IT. This isn’t just a community like others that bring vendors together. The amount of materials and expertise that are available in one spot (templates, webinars) for EVERY LEVEL of business, is beyond anything you’ll find!. I get excited to see the FB notifications pop up because I know I’m going to learn something new or gain insight into other planners’ thinking both inside and outside of my market. It makes us all better while still celebrating what makes each company unique.

Jen Shaefer

Owner, Southern Skies

Being a member of the PV community has not only accelerated my learning but it has me surrounded with both seasoned and eager professionals who know that people still want to hope, and dream and marry. It fills my tank and keeps me sharpening my skills daily. Beyond the materials, what I love most is the weekly webinars from varied industry experts. Not to mention, I launched my business and COVID hit NYC (where I'm based) less than a week later. If it weren't for the PV community who encourages each other daily, I don't know if I would have felt the confidence to keep going.

Your Guide: Megan Gillikin - 15 Year Industry Veteran & Educator

Meet Your Mentor

I’m a wedding planner, not a “guru.”

I don’t have millions of followers on Instagram.

I won’t promise that my advice will make your business quadruple overnight.

And I certainly don’t know everything.

But what I do know is how to turn a struggling wedding planning business (like the one I bought more than 10 years ago) into a thriving one with a luxury clientele spending an average of $100,000+ on their nuptials.

How’d I get here? Through sweat, self-doubt, a few bridezillas, lots of tears and even more mistakes. And I’m not the only one — as a podcast host and international speaker, I’ve made friends with some of the big names in the industry who have the same story: they built their businesses the hard way.

But what if there was an easy way? A way to get mentorship from an accomplished wedding planner, benefit from all the lessons they’ve learned, and swipe a brilliant idea or two? And that’s what The Planner’s Vault is: an easier way for you to grow your wedding planning business.

I can’t wait to see how you use these tools to grow your wedding planning business. Let’s do this!

xo,

I SO wish I had all these amazing resources when I started my business six years ago but I am TOTALLY benefiting from them now even with over 100 weddings under my belt! Thank you for doing this and creating this community!

Nicole Smith

Planner, Vision Events

Megan, you're changing my business and my mindset. I can't express my gratitude enough! If I could hug you, I would. I know this crazy cornonavirus mess could slow us down a little BUT because of you and the Vault, I've decided to take this season to learn and grow instead of becoming stagnant.

Crystal Johnson

Planner, Funkytown Affairs

All the documents and templates and other resources..OMG sooo useful!! I can't describe how happy I am to have joined. It's the first time I am happy to have joined an online membership and moreover, it's not just a resource, it's as if you are sitting next to me talking over

a cup of coffee as a good friend!

Got Questions? Ask Away!

Who is The Planner's Vault for?

The Planner’s Vault is designed for wedding planners within their first five years of business. Can non-planners join? Absolutely, though you may find some of the content isn’t the most relevant to you. Can more experienced planners join? Absolutely, though you may have already worked through some of the information we share. Can “side-hustlers” join? Can full-timers join? Can non-U.S. planners join? Absolutely!

How did you develop your prices?

The Planner’s Vault pricing is intentionally low (thousands of dollars less than the value of what’s provided in the Vault) because we want our business-growing resources to help as many wedding planners as possible. And when you’re a new wedding planner, chances are you don’t have tons of spare cash laying around. We considered how much would be an affordable commitment for new planners when developing our pricing.

What’s included in The Planner’s Vault?

The short answer: a lot. The more accurate answer: articles, guides, templates, checklists, training videos, webinars, group coaching, accountability meetings, and access to our private community. The Planner’s Vault is designed to be a comprehensive educational platform and community for wedding planners in their first five years of business. Consider it your fast-track to a successful, mature business.

What's the difference between monthly and annual memberships?

Simply put, the annual membership is a better deal. As an annual member, you’ll pay less than the monthly rate and get more even amazing content than what’s already included in the Vault (we’re talkin’ templates for emails, budgets, timelines, wedding day checklists, contract clauses we recommend, and other fun bonuses).

How do I cancel my membership?

We don’t like skeezy memberships that trick you into a life-long contract, so it’s important for you to know that you can leave our community whenever it feels right for you. Annual memberships renew one calendar year from your sign-up date. Monthly memberships renew each month. Our money-back guarantee is applicable to both plans: if you don’t love what you see inside the Vault during your first 14 days, let us know you want to cancel and we’ll refund your membership fee.
