In this episode of The Venue RX Podcast, host Jonathan Aymin welcomes back Alan Berg, a leading expert in wedding venue sales, marketing, and business strategy. Alan shares his insights on the ever-changing wedding industry, focusing on how venues can adapt to shifting consumer behaviors and expectations.

A key topic of discussion is the impact of generational differences, particularly among Millennials (Gen Y) and Gen Z couples. Alan highlights how these younger generations approach wedding planning differently, relying heavily on digital research, online reviews, and instant communication. He stresses the importance of reducing friction in the sales process by ensuring venues provide clear, accessible information and respond quickly and effectively to inquiries.

Alan also discusses the need for venues to refine their communication strategies, offering seamless and personalized interactions that build trust and engagement. In an increasingly competitive market, he explains, the venues that prioritize customer experience—through fast responses, tailored messaging, and user-friendly digital platforms—will stand out and attract more bookings.

Alan provides actionable advice on how wedding venues can enhance their marketing, improve their client interactions, and ultimately, secure more business by aligning their strategies with the expectations of today’s tech-savvy couples.
