Email Templates for Wedding Pros
ByA welcome email template and client off-boarding email template to get you started
We often hear wedding pros talk about how much they dislike writing and we can understand why. Because, the captions you share, the blogs you manage to post, and the descriptions you include on your Storefronts all play a part in building your brand and your future book of business. But, when it comes down to what’s most important after your marketing efforts have paid off, all eyes suddenly turn to the emails you send. From how you welcome new clients and communicate next steps to how you close out your working relationship after their wedding day has passed, we want to make sure you are saying hello and goodbye in a way that leaves the best impression. Get ready to hit command C and command V because two email templates are waiting for you below.
A quick note: Use these email templates as a starting point and be sure to customize them to fit your specific needs. You’ll see the spots where we’ve provided options in bold (depending on whether you work alone or with a team) but don’t hesitate to make additional changes—you have insight into your business we don’t, so revise them to communicate exactly what you need.

Hello NAME and NAME,
We’re just NUMBER days away from your wedding and I hope you are excited and ready to
celebrate—because I sure am! Planning a wedding can be a bit of a whirlwind (just like the big
day itself), so I wanted to touch base with a few thoughts and pieces of advice to keep things as smooth as possible.
What to Expect | I am here to help make your wedding perfect, personal, and stress-free. Please do not hesitate to email, call or text (delete whatever is not applicable to you) if you have questions throughout this process.
Response Time | If you do not receive an immediate response, please know I will do my best to respond in NUMBER hours; a delayed response is most likely because I am onsite working an event. If you do not get a response within NUMBER business days, please do not hesitate to follow up. My office hours are typically OFFICE HOURS and by appointment on weekends.
Scheduling | To be mindful of busy calendars, we can work around them to schedule planning meetings and calls accordingly. The majority of our communication will be via email/phone with key meetings taking place in person. Due to the nature of email, if something is ever unclear, let’s hop on a call to make sure we stay on the same page!
