  • 214 | How to Market a Wedding Planning Business with Long-Form Content
    Feb 9 2026

    Text the Wedding Planning Hotline

    Most wedding planners think marketing is about posting more — but the planners attracting luxury clients are doing something very different.

    In this episode of The Planner’s Edit, Desirée Adams breaks down how to market a wedding planning business using long-form content that builds trust over time. She shares how blogging, podcasting, and email have shaped her business over the last seven years, and why different long-form platforms serve different roles depending on your audience and offers.

    You’ll learn why luxury clients often find planners through Google, how to use long-form content intentionally instead of reactively, and how to choose the platforms that actually support the level of work you’re ready to do.

    If you want your marketing to feel steadier, more aligned, and more effective long-term, this episode will help you rethink how — and where — you show up.
