It doesn’t matter what industry you are in, almost everyone has a slow and busy season for their small business. And whether that’s a post-holiday sales slump that even your most popular products can’t escape or a busy season where you can’t ever find the time to work on your business because you’re stuck working in it, these peaks and valleys are just a part of the game. But when it comes to one of the most interesting seasons for the wedding industry (you guessed it), engagement season is it—you know, the period where there is an actual onslaught of proposals happening?

Engagement (or booking) season is the sales season for most wedding business owners—regardless of the fact that new clients can get booked year ‘round. And that sales season is all close and cozy with (you guess it again) the biggest marketing push of the year. But the thing is, this marketing campaign isn’t your standard 2 or 3-week cycle. Nope, it’s a 4-month long push to make sure you’re building your brand, putting inquiries into the pipeline, and closing new business to make a real dent in your availability. And that 4-month push is right on the heels of busy season—which means you are already running on fumes, which doesn’t exactly set you up for success with the marketing marathon you signed yourself up for. So, to relieve some of the pressure to come up with every. single. idea you’ll need to market your wedding business through engagement season, we put together this list of wedding marketing ideas for you. Read on—and buckle up—because these booking season content ideas are going to kickstart your campaign.  

Go live on social media

Couples hire pros who they know, like, and trust, so it is important to put yourself out there! Go live on social media twice a month (for just a short period of time) and share some expert advice, some sort of tip, or answer a couple of your FAQs. Keep it short and simple—we promise you can do this!

Create and share blog content

Blogging is one of the best organic (read: free) marketing tactics any wedding business owner can use! And (lucky for you) there are an actual million topics you can blog about. But when it comes to where to start, it’s a great idea to write helpful blog posts about the topics you know couples are turning to the internet for answers—so start with your FAQs and branch out from there. Why should you start with FAQs? The way people search on the internet has always been around asking some form of a question. But in the age of AI and how it is changing search, answering the plain English questions you know people ask is a great way to help the AI Chatbots and overviews use your answers.

But don't call it a day after publishing a blog post! After you’ve written a blog, be sure to work that blog content into what you're sharing on social media! This can be new or old blog posts, an overview of one or a summary of many—you can even just copy and paste one great quote or tip from one to get your caption done in no time.

Pro-tip: Enji’s AI copywriter makes it really easy to draft a blog post in minutes! Then all that’s left for you to do is review it, revise what’s needed, and add in your personal expertise. And with the Blog Repurposing Tool, you can have Enji turn your blog into social media captions in just one click. Here is a video to show you how—it's a fan favorite!

Create and share wedding inspiration content

While this might be obvious, it's worth calling out—be sure to work wedding inspiration content into what you're sharing on social media...just don't only share this type of content. Couples love scrolling through beautiful ideas, but inspiration is everywhere, so you need to make yours stand out.

How can you make your inspirational wedding content stand out on social media? Don't just describe what people can see in the caption you write. Talk about what the couple wanted, the unique challenges you solved, and how you made it happen because that’s how you show off your value and expertise. Instead of “The couple chose blush and gold for their reception,” try: “The couple really wanted a romantic, candlelit atmosphere—but with a modern edge. We combined soft blush florals with gold accents and swapped standard votives for sculptural candles to bring their vision to life.” This way, you’re not just showing a pretty photo—you’re showcasing the strategy and creativity behind it.

Also, ditch the "J+A [insert wedding date]" captions. Those aren't helping you.

Create and share educational content

It's important to share your expertise throughout booking season. So you can create content (blogs, social media posts, reels, email newsletters, etc.) that showcases your pro-tips, FAQs, advice, how-to's, lessons learned, and whatever else you can dream up that you know is helpful for couples to know. Remember, to a newly engaged couple, everything about wedding planning is brand new. What seems obvious to you can feel like gold to them—even though you feel like you've said it all a million times.

Just make sure your educational content isn't feel stiff or lecture-like. You can turn common questions you get asked into fun carousel posts (“3 Things Most Couples Forget About Their Wedding Timeline”), create short-form videos answering FAQs, or even share “what I wish couples knew” posts that position you as a guide. And no, it’s not bragging to show off your smarts—educating your audience builds authority and helps couples trust that you know how to take the stress off their plate.

Create and share content about your process

We just covered it a bit, but it is worth saying again...even though you know what it takes to plan a wedding, your potential clients don't, so it's a great idea to show them what your process is like. This can be behind the scenes content of you working in your home office (so much computer time!), clips from client meetings, mockups, or tastings, or even (maybe especially) on wedding day.

Here are more behind-the-scenes content ideas for wedding pros:

• A timelapse of you putting together a mockup
• A clip of you at a tasting with your clients (with permission, of course!)
• Mood board mockups or design sketches
• Short videos of you walking a venue with a couple
• A “day in the life” reel on a wedding day

💡 Pro-tip: Process content works best when you explain why you’re doing what you’re doing. For example, don’t just post a video of you creating a layout—explain how mapping the tables ahead of time makes wedding day flow more smoothly. That context helps couples understand the value of your work.

Create and share content about you and your team

People buy from people they know, like, and trust! So don’t build a faceless brand (we see it all too often. Really. It's shocking.) Se sure to introduce yourself and your team a few times on social media throughout booking season. Once a month is a good cadence for this.

But you can go beyond a simple “meet the team” post. Share fun facts, your favorite part of a wedding day, or what inspires you creatively. A personal touch makes you memorable and relatable. For example, if you’re a florist who loves hiking and gets inspiration from wildflowers, share that connection! Couples want to feel like they’re hiring a human who gets them, not just a vendor checking off a list.

Create and share entertaining content

If social media is one of your main marketing channels, you should be incorporating entertaining content into your plan. This does mean staying on top of trending audio or viral content formats and putting your spin on it. Humor, relatability, and personality go a long way in helping your brand feel approachable.

Don't worry, you don’t have to dance on TikTok to make entertaining content work. Try meme-style posts, funny “expectation vs. reality” reels, or lighthearted commentary on wedding planning stress. For example, you could use a trending audio clip to show “what couples think being a wedding planning looks like vs. what it actually looks like.” These posts are highly shareable and can help expand your reach to new couples.

Promote clips from your brand video and/or virtual tour

If you've invested in a brand video or virtual tour, break it up into shorter clips you can share throughout booking season. This is an easy way to make this investment go even further—and save you time because the hard part is already done.

Just be sure you're repurposing it strategically. Share one clip as a “pinned” reel to your Instagram profile, use another as a website hero video, and cut smaller soundbites for Instagram Stories or TikTok. Add captions or text overlays that highlight your brand’s key messages, like your philosophy or the benefits of your services. Don’t just share the video once—stretch the content to last all season.

Don’t forget the feels

It’s a trap we see most wedding pros fall into—only creating content that shows off their portfolio. But the reality is, your potential clients need to see, hear, and feel certain things from you before they finally decide to reach out. Inspiration is important, but emotions are what seal the deal.

Think about what couples are feeling when they’re booking: excitement, nerves, overwhelm, joy. Create content that speaks to those emotions. Share stories about the meaningful moments you’ve witnessed, testimonials that highlight how you made a couple feel, or captions that remind them what’s possible when they have the right support. When your content connects on an emotional level, it’s not just pretty pictures—it’s a reason for them to trust you with their wedding.
