First, let's address the elephant in the room.
Weddings are, and will always be, a human-first service industry.
Technology is not here to replace what you do.
AI cannot read the emotions in a room.
It cannot calm a nervous couple.
It cannot collaborate with a vendor team on a wedding day.
It cannot create the kind of hospitality and care that makes celebrations meaningful.
Those things will always require real people.
But technology (and yes, even AI) can support your business.
It can help you:
• simplify workflows
• reduce repetitive administrative tasks
• organize client communication
• respond to inquiries faster
• meet modern couples where they are
When used intentionally, technology doesn’t replace creativity or service.
It simply gives you more time to focus on the work that matters most.
That’s the perspective behind the Tech & AI Edition.
Brought to you by:
Technology shouldn’t feel like something happening to your business..
Right now many wedding professionals feel like technology is something they have to constantly keep up with:
🧰
New tools appear every month.
🤖
AI headlines dominate the conversation.
🔍
Technology is changing the way couples find vendors.
Good news: you don’t need to keep up with everything.
You just need to understand which changes in technology, AI, and platforms are actually affecting how couples find vendors, communicate, make decisions, and experience your services.
Meet the Host
Hi, I’m Margaux - Your summit Host!
I’m a working wedding planner, the founder of the Wedding Summit Series and the creator of the Wedding Industry Pulse membership, where thousands of wedding professionals rely on my monthly insights to stay current, understand shifting couple behavior, and make confident decisions in their businesses.
I’m constantly tracking what’s actually changing in the industry, including how technology and AI are shaping the way wedding businesses market, sell, communicate, and operate behind the scenes.
Over the years, I’ve become known for one thing:
helping wedding professionals stay informed, stay confident, and stay ahead.
And that’s exactly why I created the Tech & AI Summit.
Wedding businesses today are running on more technology than ever before, and it’s not always clear what actually matters or how these tools fit into the way we work.
This event is designed to give you clarity around the tools, systems, and AI shaping the industry so you can use them in a way that actually supports your business.
Whether you already use these tools every day or are still figuring out where they fit, you’re in exactly the right place.

What People are Saying...
"I am ready and excited to implement."
"Usually, I get really overwhelmed going into days-long events like this feeling like I have to cram so much into each day, and I usually never end up implementing anything because it's too overwhelming. So I made a plan this time, attended 5 key sessions and have 10 pages of notes that I am ready and excited to implement into a marketing plan!"
– Sarah Blessinger, PLanner, California
"I look forward to this summit every single year."
I appreciate that all of the presentations fall under one topic, so it's much easier to stay on track and not feel completely overwhelmed. Other summits have great content, but I find myself burnt out by day 2 because I'm having to change focus so many times.
– Sofi melvin, Planner, Missouri
"Your classes and speakers inspired a confidence in me that I had yet to discover was already there."
I am so thankful to Margaux and the Wedding Summit Series for the education I have received from the many, many sessions I have attended. I know for certain that my time spent with you last year at the Planners Workshop was a part of the plan to make my dreams a reality!
– SUSIE LA BELLE, PLANNEr, Wisconsin
