Bill Zaruka - Scaling Wedgewood Weddings from 1 venue to over 40 venues


Listen Later

When I first met and started consulting and doing training for Wedgewood Weddings in 2012, they had about a dozen venues in Northern and Southern California. Nine years later they have over 40 venues in 6 states, and counting (I just saw a notification that they’ve picked up two more after our recording). They’ve carved out a great niche with their all-inclusive model for their venues. When they open or acquire new venues, they use the same, proven packages. Some businesses have different models in different areas. Bill Zaruka and his team have proven that their strategy works all over the country. Yes, each venue is unique, but that doesn’t mean you can’t use the same package strategy.

Listen to this new episode and learn some ways you can scale your business.
