    Social media doesn’t have to feel overwhelming — or like a full-time job.

    In this episode, we’re joined by Nina Addeo, founder of I Do Wedding Marketing, to talk about what’s actually working right now on social media for wedding professionals. Nina shares practical strategies to help planners, designers, and creatives grow their visibility, attract aligned couples, and show up online with confidence — without burnout.

    We dive into content strategy, trends, reels, consistency, and how wedding pros can stop posting just to post and start marketing with intention. If social media feels confusing, exhausting, or ineffective, this episode will help you rethink how you approach it — and how to make it work for your business.

    Perfect for wedding planners and creatives who want clarity, consistency, and conversions from social media.
