About this listen

Are you a wedding professional who feels burnt out? Do you want your wedding business to work for you instead of the other way around? Does the stress and frustration of running your wedding planning, design, or creative business ever make you want to throw in the towel, give up on your dream, and start working on your resumé?

Stop right there! Host Jen Taylor understands how you feel and has answers for you.

When she started out over 20 years ago as a successful destination wedding planner in Washington and Maui, it wasn’t long before she recognized a need within the wedding industry for more organized systems and streamlined strategies. After all, smart workflows and processes are the key to a thriving wedding business and a happier life, both in terms of work and personal time.

Since then, she has received her certification as Director of Operations and has made it her mission to help wedding professionals and creative entrepreneurs design scalable systems, grow their businesses with confidence, and spend their time on what they love most—their craft, their couples, and their lives.

If you’re ready to stop reinventing the wheel and start building a wedding business that works for you, join Jen each week on the Design Your Wedding Business podcast, where she shares the resources, strategies, and support you need to succeed in today’s wedding industry.

  • When to Raise Your Prices & How to Communicate It
    May 4 2026

    If you’ve been growing your business but your prices haven’t budged, this episode might call you out in the best way. I’m diving into the real signs it’s time to raise your rates, from the obvious like being fully booked to the less talked about signals like resentment, burnout, and misalignment with your current level of expertise. I walk through both the practical and energetic indicators that your pricing is outdated, and why staying the same could actually be holding your business back more than you think.

    Topics covered in this episode include:

    • The real reason overexplaining your prices weakens your positioning
    • How to decide between small increases or a bold pricing jump
    • The mindset shift that makes raising prices feel inevitable instead of scary

  • Stop Undercharging - You Deserve to Get Paid
    Apr 20 2026

    What if the real reason you feel burnt out in your business has nothing to do with your workload… and everything to do with what you're charging? In this episode, I’m diving into a topic that quietly affects so many wedding professionals and creative entrepreneurs: undercharging. I walk through the subtle signs that your pricing may be out of alignment—things like resentment toward clients, constant exhaustion, and that uncomfortable guilt when it’s time to send an invoice. If you’ve ever found yourself discounting before someone even asks or wondering if your work is “worth it,” this conversation will hit close to home.

    Topics covered in this episode include:

    • The surprising place undercharging shows up first—and it’s not your bank account
    • Why resentment toward clients can actually be a pricing problem
    • The hidden ways people-pleasing sabotages your income

  • Your Sales Process is a System - Here's How to Build It
    Apr 6 2026

    What if the reason sales feel exhausting in your business isn’t because you’re bad at selling… but because you don’t actually have a sales system?

    In this episode, I’m breaking down how to turn your sales process into a clear, repeatable system that works every single time someone inquires. Instead of reinventing the wheel with every lead, second guessing your responses, or feeling emotional about whether someone books, I walk you through what it really means to build a sales system and why it changes everything. I also share how inconsistent sales often come down to inconsistent processes and how putting structure in place allows you to show up confidently and guide potential clients through the experience.

    Topics covered in this episode include:

    • A subtle shift that changes how consultations feel for both you and the client
    • Where most proposals quietly lose momentum
    • The part of the sales process that many people skip but where the real results often happen
    • A small exercise that can instantly reveal the gaps in your current sales process

    You don’t have to fix everything overnight. Systems are built in layers. Choose one piece of your process to document or improve this week and start there.
