Why this summit is the key to your success
In today’s wedding industry, inclusivity isn’t just a trend; it’s essential. We understand that many businesses want to be more inclusive but struggle to show it in their branding and outreach. This summit gives you the practical tools and insights you need to communicate your commitment effectively.
A Collaborative Vision: The Origins of the Inclusive Wedding Summit
The Inclusive Wedding Summit was born from the shared vision of co-producers Brenda Ferrarini and Brian Lawrence, whose professional relationship began over 40 years ago when Brenda was producing wedding shows and Brian, then a wedding store owner, became a loyal exhibitor. As their careers evolved, they remained connected—Brenda supporting Brian as he transitioned into consulting and founded a top marketing firm specializing in website design and SEO for the wedding industry. Recently, while co-authoring From Browsing to Booking with Alan Berg, Brian recognized the need for inclusivity education within the industry and approached Brenda to bring this vision to life through the summit.
Enter Frankie Perez, owner of One of a Kind Events, serving as the Summit’s MC and Host. Beyond his role as host, Frankie brings essential expertise in audio-visual production and live streaming, ensuring an immersive experience for both in-person and virtual attendees. Having previously collaborated with Brenda on virtual wedding shows during the pandemic, Frankie has a proven track record of helping vendors connect with couples in innovative ways. His dynamic energy and technical know-how will enhance every moment of the summit, making it an event wedding professionals won’t want to miss.
Together, Brenda, Brian, and Frankie have created a setting where wedding professionals can learn from the best, building authentic connections with today’s diverse couples.
