WVM Business Book Club – August

August 31, 2026 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm ET

This is a free event

A members-only discussion for wedding professionals who love learning, growing, and sharing ideas.


Looking for a simple way to invest in yourself while connecting with other local wedding professionals?

Join us every other month for the Wedding Venue Map Business Book Club, a casual online discussion where we’ll dive into one impactful business book and explore how its ideas apply to our own businesses.

This isn’t a presentation or webinar. It’s an opportunity to exchange ideas, hear different perspectives, and leave with practical takeaways you can implement right away.

Whether you’ve highlighted every page or are still finishing the last chapter, you’re welcome to join the conversation.


This Month’s Book

The Fred Factor by Mark Sanborn

This month’s selection is a quick, inspiring read about how ordinary people can create extraordinary experiences through passion, initiative, and exceptional service.

As wedding professionals, the lessons in this book translate directly into how we serve our couples, build our reputations, and stand out in a competitive market.

(Each discussion features a new book selected by attendees at the previous meeting.)
