In ‘Love and Money,’ behavioral psychologist and wedding expert Liene Stevens shares the most comprehensive look at the business side of the $625 billion wedding industry available today. This presentation is specifically designed to help companies in the wedding space compete more strategically — and more profitably. Actionable insights and takeaways include:

  • A look at the global economic and social trends that are shaping today’s bridal industry and what they mean for wedding professionals at a local level. 

  • Fact-based research on the varying consumer behavior of brides and grooms in each of the four wedding budget segments, including their changing expectations and forecasted decision drivers. 

  • An overview of the “glocal” wedding movement and practical ways wedding professionals in Southern California can take advantage of these new opportunities. 

  • Truths and myths about “best practices” in today’s evolving marketplace, including which to keep, which to retire, and where to innovate.
