How to Earn Your Spot on a Venue’s Preferred List: A Live Panel Discussion

Getting on a venue’s preferred vendor list isn’t about begging for referrals—it’s about proving your value. Join us for an exclusive Venue Panel Discussion, where five wedding venue representatives will share exactly what it takes to earn their trust, build lasting relationships, and secure a coveted spot on their go-to list.

Moderated by Shannon Tarrant, founder of Wedding Venue Map, this candid conversation will pull back the curtain on what venues really look for in vendor partnerships. Shannon isn’t afraid to ask the tough questions—and she’ll make sure the panel delivers real, unfiltered answers.

What You’ll Walk Away With:

✅ Creative & unique strategies to stand out and become the vendor venues want to refer.

✅ Ways to stay top of mind with venues without being pushy or salesy.

✅ The real dos and don’ts straight from venue decision-makers.

✅ A roadmap to increasing referrals and building stronger venue relationships.

If you’re ready to stop chasing referrals and start earning them, this event is for you!
