I just wrapped up Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE 2010. It was an event filled with amazing wedding planners who are ready to take big leaps in their business and shine as the stars that they are. I am so proud of all that we accomplished.
One of the most touching moments for me was when my 2009 Rockstar Wedding Planner Legends took to the stage to share their success stories with the other planners in attendance. I am so proud of their triumphs over the last year. I wanted to share with you all they’ve accomplished being a part of my 6 Figure Wedding Planner Club at the Legend level so I’ve posted a video for you to watch by clicking here.
If you know that this is your year to play a bigger game and to step into your star power the Rockstar Wedding Planner 6 Figure Club is for you. This is the only wedding planner mastermind program designed by a wedding planner for wedding planners. The inaugural program last year was revolutionary.
This year I am opening up applications for the 2010 program at 2 levels. There is the Legend level and the Hall of Fame level. Both include one on one coaching with me over a year, group retreats with the other participants, branding with Couture Consulting and much more. To view all the details of each level and to determine which is the right fit for you click here.
PLUS, tomorrow, Wednesday March 24th I’m joining forces with my friends, Kristy Chenell and Katie Hess of Couture Consulting, to bring you a special free teleseminar called,
“Discover The Power of Combining Proven, Income Generating Marketing Strategies With A Timeless, Innovative Brand Strategy and Make 2010 Your Year to Shine As A Rockstar Wedding Planner”
In this call we will cover:
•Why traditional marketing isn’t working to attract brides anymore and how you can use low cost to no cost methods to attract the exact bride you want to work with
•How your brand is more than just a logo and why it’s such a key piece of attracting your perfect bride
•Why your pretty website isn’t making you any money (and might be the wrong kind of pretty) AND how you can change it
•The power of combining marketing and branding and the success you can experience in your business
You can sign up for this free call and watch the video I mentioned above by clicking here.
Love and wedding planning success,
Ciara
Have I ever told you that the first marketing seminar that I ever went to I actually registered 3 days before it started? Notices about it had come into my email inbox but I’d just brushed them off. But on that day something different was happening with me. I was stuck sitting at my corporate job which I’d just returned to because my venture in real estate didn’t work out. But I was still working in real estate because I thought if I could just sell one house I could live off that money for awhile and do wedding planning full time.
Totally backwards right?
Well, I got this email and I took notice. It was for a marketing and sales seminar and I registered completely last minute. And I think you know that’s just where my story began. I now run a very successful multiple 6 figure wedding planning agency and I’m bringing my strategies and done for you tools at my LIVE event, next week on March 15, 16 and 17.
We still have planners registering and I’m so happy. It’s not too late to change your life and create the business that will bring you joy. Click here to sign up now.
It’s okay to be last minute… it’s not okay to settle for unhappiness. Click here to join me.
Love and wedding planning success,

Are you feeling inspired? Sometimes it’s simply the lack of inspiration in our lives that causes us to stay stagnant in our wedding business. I arrived in LA late last night and this morning I’m off to a series of mastermind meetings with my mentor Ali Brown. I know that having this kind of inspiration is going to lead to new ideas in my business and that means more success.
When you’re inspired there’s no limit to what you can do. Emerson said “Oh Human! There is no planet, sun or star could hold you, if you knew what you are.” But most of us lack the inspiration to get to the heart of our true purpose in life. And that’s really sad.
I want to provide you with that inspiration. We are 7 days away from Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE where I will be giving you lots of systems and strategies you can implement in your business, but most importantly I’ll be giving you inspiration. You need to be inspired. Let me help you. Click here to attend with our easy 10 pay option.
Do you have a hankering for a new pair of shoes, a splashy pair of pumps with heels oh so high? If you’re feeling just so- so about your wedding planning business buying a new pair of shoes can make you feel oh so much better about things… at least for a little while. We tend to buy material things to mask our feelings and cheer us up but that feeling only lasts for a short time (even shorter if your heel breaks in a storm grate!) So my suggestion is to spend those hard earned wedding planning dollars on something that will give you more than a moment’s euphoria. You need to invest in strategies that will help you bring in brides to your business over and over again rather than banking it all on those snazzy red pumps making a great impression.
Instead of spending $79.70 on a new pair of shoes why not invest that in our 10 month payment plan to attend Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE? The tips about getting press and media exposure that special guests, Stacey Johnes and Regina Novickis are going to provide at Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE are worth so much more than $79.70 a month…
With more than 15 years of expertise in consumer product marketing, Stacey Johnes has a history of striving to execute the most dynamic client campaigns possible, garnering the results that are expected from clients and beyond. As a co-founder of Media Tonic Communications, she and her business partner have been able to further direct their energies into developing some of the most vibrant companies — including their own — unfettered by creative restrictions and old guard beliefs.
Formerly a vice president at Edelman Worldwide’s Los Angeles office, Johnes has led public relations initiatives for some of the countries most recognized brands including Nissan/Infiniti, Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment and the National Association of Broadcasters. Johnes also led the Launch/Brand team for the worldwide introduction of Microsoft’s Xbox gaming console, one of the most successful product introductions of the last decade.
Regina Novickis, co-founder of Media Tonic Communications, is a seasoned public relations professional with more than eleven years of experience managing
brand positioning, public relations and media relations efforts on behalf of consumer/entertainment clients. She is the client manager for some of the firm’s most important relationships such as Buena Vista Worldwide Home Entertainment.
Stacey & Regina at Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE will discuss …
As a planner you want media exposure so brides and industry can view you as the expert. But how do you get in the door with your pitch? How do you even create a pitch? At Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE you’ll learn:
- What makes the wedding media sit up and take notice
- How to leverage the PR you’ve gotten in the past
- Where to look for press now that so many bridal magazines are shutting their doors
- Unique angles you can take with the press to make you stand out
These 2 are phenomenal!! One of our other speakers, JJ Virgin, is a client of theirs and I opened up an OK Magazine on the airplane and saw that she was quoted as an expert in the pages. These 2 know how to get you publicity and they are not to be missed at Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE.
So you can take your $79.70 and invest in a new pair of shoes (and potentially new blisters!) or you can invest in a true solution for your business, the strategies and “done for you” toolkit you’ll receive at Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE.

You probably looked at the subject line of this blog and thought, “What is this going to be about?”
Well, I wanted to make something brutally clear to you. To attend Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE you only have to invest $79.70 each month for 10 months and it got me thinking, what else could you buy for $79.70 a month?
Do you buy wine? Do you buy cigarettes? Then you probably spend at least $79.70 per month on them.
You’d be a lot healthier and prosperous if you invested in attending Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE instead.
Instead of wine and cigarettes you could have a full “done for you” toolkit. Just one piece of this toolkit is worth waaayyy more than $79.70 a month.
You can walk away and put these tools into place immediately. One of these tools outlines the exact steps I took with my famous holiday sale. Not only did I make $19,000 in 10 days running this campaign once but one of my students recently put these tools into place and she made $12,000 in 2 weeks.
Don’t believe me? Here’s what she has to say:
“Going to Rockstar Wedding Planner Live in 2009 changed my life. After
finally taking the leap of faith to leave my steady job with a comfortable paycheck, I borrowed a small loan from my parents and opened up my tiny wedding/event planning business. I had absolutely no training in business and I was following in my many competitors’ footsteps. In other words, I had no niche and no hope of standing out from a vast market.
That is until I went to Ciara Daykin’s Rockstar LIVE event in Los Angeles. Not only did I learn how to stand out as a new business but she taught me how to be a better business woman. I took yet another leap of faith and joined her Rockstar Wedding Planner Legends group by paying money I didn’t have. It may have been one of the scariest things I have ever done but it was also the wisest.
Over the course of the year Ciara coached me and my little business. She had some amazing ideas and the power of brainstorming with her and the rest of the Legends really propelled me forward. My business and marketing strategy are 100% different than they were before stepping into the world of Rockstar Wedding Planner. Before meeting Ciara and joining Legends I only had two clients over the span of one year totaling $2300. Because of Ciara and the power of her mastermind group I made $12,000 in just two and a half weeks!
I couldn’t have done this without Ciara’s hard work and dedication to me and my company. I would be very happy to tell anyone who is thinking of following Ciara that it would be the best choice they have ever made for their business. I—without question or hesitation—will follow Ciara and Simon Daykin for years to come. They are such a dynamic team and truly selfless to be giving little wedding planners like me the knowledge they possess to succeed. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.”
Nicole Nassief, The Wedding League
Worth more than $79.70 a month?
Definitely!
Many times we’re not getting what we want in life because we’re investing in the wrong things. The more you invest your $79.70 a month in poor choices the more you attract scarcity, lack and negativity into your life.
Turn things around today and click here to attend Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE with me.
Love and wedding planning success,
Ciara

I was getting my nails done yesterday and was reading an O Magazine and she had this great excerpt from a poem that absolutely moved me and made me think of you…
“If you stare at it long enough
the mountain becomes unclimbable.
Tally it up. How much time have you spent
waiting for the soup to cool?
Icicles hang from January gutters
only as long as they can. Fingers pause
above piano keys for the chord
that will not form. Slam them down
I say. Make music of what you can…”
- Charles Rafferty from “Against Hesitation”
Don’t you think his words are amazingly powerful?
How often do we hesitate from taking the next step and miss an opportunity completely? In our businesses we especially can get overwhelmed just thinking about the next step (like the mountain) and we build it up so much we actually stop ourselves from believing that the next step is even possible for us.
It’s so sad to be frozen in indecision.
I’d like to help you take the next step in your business but you need to take a step and join me in March at Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE. I’ve made it really easy for you to attend by offering you 10 payments over 10 months. Just click here for the details.
No more hesitation.

Yesterday was Family Day in Alberta so I enjoyed the day off. But it also gave me some time to think. Ever since I did my free teleseminar last week we’ve had a lot of emails streaming into the office from you.
I’ve heard the message loud and clear from you that you’d love to come to Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE 2010 but that last year was really tough for you (the economy’s been kicking your butt) and you’re having a difficult time making the investment to attend.
Well, I made a big decision yesterday. I was going to raise the price of the ticket to Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE but I’ve decided to keep it at $797. I know the value of the ticket is much, much more than that but I’m really listening to your needs. I’ve even gone one step further…
I’m offering you a payment plan that extends well past the event. You can attend Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE by making 10 payments of $79.70 over 10 months. That’s less than $3 a day (I’ll bet you spend more on your coffee each morning). This is an unbelievable offer.
So why am I doing this?
I understand what it’s like to struggle in a wedding planning business and that’s why I want to help you. And I know I can if you attend Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE. I’m putting my trust in you because I know you want to attend and learn innovative ways to double your profits. Click here to take advantage of this offer right now.
I also wanted to reveal that at the event I’ll be giving each attendee a “Done For You” Toolkit filled with copyright free documents of some of my most successful promotions to brides. Just one of these promotions made me $19,000 in 2 weeks. And you can use this toolkit to do the same.
So what do I mean by copyright free documents? Well it means that I’m giving you my full permission to use the copy that I’ve written, that I’ve proven works, that I’ve had big financial success with, in your marketplace. I’ve created the system AND done the work for you, all you have to do when you get home is implement it.
But I’m only offering this to attendees of Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE. Even if I record the event and sell it later (which I’m not sure I’m going to do) no one but the wedding planners who attend IN PERSON will receive my “Done For You” Toolkit.
So that’s my BIG news for today… I hope you’re as excited as I am!
