and Create a Wedding Planning Business that
Attracts the Exact Clients You Want, Builds Wealth,
and Gives You More Free Time?"
Attention: Wedding Planners Who Have a Passion for Planning Weddings and Strong Desire for a Successful, Money Making Business

Dear Friend,
Are you a wedding planner, coordinator or consultant who….
Has realized how expensive it is to run a wedding planning business?
Is exhausted and overwhelmed with running a wedding planning business that isn’t making you enough money to enjoy life?
Is frustrated with working so hard all the time for very little profit if any?
Is starting to forget why you love wedding planning?
Desires to spend more time with your family and less time worrying about how you’re going to pay the bills?
Has ever wished that they could meet a real life mentor that could help you get your wedding planning business rocking with brides willing to pay you what you’re worth?
… A mentor that in just 3 years grew her wedding planning business to the point where she charges $15,000 + for full wedding planning and gets it?
Well guess what? I’m your girl and I’m ready to help YOU. Because, I totally understand where you’re coming from because I’ve been there too.
I’m Ciara Daykin of Rockstar Wedding Planner. I’m also the owner of my own successful wedding planning company, Firefly Occasions Inc. But it wasn’t long ago that I was in your shoes. I had started my business because I loved to plan weddings and I thought it was that simple. But it wasn’t. I was working long hours, making pennies per wedding when I worked out how much time I was actually spending planning vs. what I was charging, and I was ready to give up.
“I wanted to charge more but I didn’t know how I could convince brides to pay more.”
I hardly saw my husband or any of my friends. I was even working two other jobs just to pay the bills. I was majorly burnt out and didn’t know what I was going to do. I was offered a lot of money to work full time in a corporate office but inside my heart I knew if I took the offer I would be miserable. I had to change what I was doing in my planning business.
“It was time to turn my hobby wedding planning company into an income generating business.”
I realized that I’d been treating my wedding planning business like a hobby. It was what I loved doing but I wasn’t insuring that it was a career that would sustain how I wanted to live.
I decided that I needed help. I dove into reading business and marketing books by expert authors, I started participating in sales courses and seminars and I completely committed to investing in myself to grow my business.
I started making changes to the way I ran my business and I saw some big things happening. I was no longer struggling; I was charging what I was worth and attracting brides who wanted my services. And my business grew more and more each day.
One day I got a call from a bride wanting me to plan her wedding. She’d been following me for quite some time, so I told her that I charged $10,000 for the services that she was asking for….
“The next week I opened up my mailbox and there was a signed contract for $10,000 PLUS a cheque for the deposit and post dated cheques for all the payments.”
This client was the exact kind of bride that I wanted to work with. I had written all of my marketing specifically to this kind of bride and I attracted her and a big payday.
And I continue to attract these kinds of clients to this day, ones that have been willing to pay me even more than $10,000 for my services. PLUS I even won the Blue Ribbon at a recent Bridal Fair (not to mention securing 5 new, high paying clients that day).
I have created my empire.
I was loving life, enjoying my work but not letting it consume me. I was able to take fantastic vacations to Ireland and Australia and my business kept making money. I bought designer clothes and dined at fine restaurants. And I chose the conferences I wanted to go to and I went, not worrying about the cost.
It was at one of these conferences that I realized I had stumbled onto something major.
“I knew the secret to creating a wedding planning business that actually made money and not just a little money, A LOT of money.”
I’m sure you just can’t wait to find out how in a short amount of time I completely changed my life and how YOU can do it too.
(YES YOU! Look at the success some of my students are already having. I know you’ll be next!)
Doubled Her Rate And Still Got Yeses!
Since becoming a member of Rockstar Wedding Planner I have experienced a change in my confidence and belief in myself as a wedding planner worth her fees. Last year I was charging at most $1500 for my full service package – pennies when you know all that goes into planning a wedding over 12 months. Well for my first new client this year, I felt confident and strong in doubling that amount – and got it!! My goal is to double that again before the end of this year.

“Do you want to know exactly HOW you can achieve massive success in your wedding planning business?”
I’m sure you’re asking yourself, “How has she done this? How did she grow her wedding planning business to be so successful in just 3 years? And how can I do it?”
Can you imagine it? It’s YOUR destiny! I’d love to see you skyrocket your success, but first let me tell you what I didn’t do….
I did NOT abandon my wedding planning business for a corporate job
I did NOT start selling wedding stuff on ebay and wedding chat sites
I did NOT go against my beliefs and values
The first BIG step I took towards success was that I believed that I was worth it AND I went for it.
“I started to treat my business as a business and I became the ‘Chief Entrepreneurial Officer.’ “
The MOST IMPORTANT thing I realized was that I had to change the way that I did business or I would have no business at all. AND I had to do it in a world of tulle, Jordan almonds and bouquets.
You see, when I went looking for help I didn’t find a “wedding planner coach.” There were none to be found. The kind of help out there was showing you how to be a wedding planner, plan weddings, organize brides, advise clients on the latest colors. But that’s not the kind of help I needed.
“I needed specific help with growing my wedding planning business and I know you do too.”
When I started looking for this kind of help I couldn’t find it. So I realized that I would have to learn from MANY different experts in VARIOUS fields and then figure out how their business lessons applied to my wedding planning business. I’ve spent tens of thousands of dollars and thousands of hours figuring out how I could create a system that would and does:
Attract the exact kind of bride that I want to work with and who is willing to pay me what I’m worth
Create a relationship with a bride so that she calls me instead of chasing her down
Establish me as an “expert wedding planner” without planning a celebrity wedding
Get my website working for me and making money instead of just looking pretty
Easily sell my services and products without needing my constant attention (so I could go on vacation!)
Ensure that I don’t have to work all the time and give up spending time with my husband, my family and my friends
Take the guess work out of where to spend my advertising dollars
Build a list of brides that wanted to hear from me, that loved to buy from me and who I could always count on for income
AND NOW… I’ve done just that! I’ve created an AMAZING SYSTEM that works!
You might be thinking “why don’t you just keep this to yourself? Why share this with us?”
I can’t sit back any longer and talk with my fellow wedding planners like you and see how heartbreaking your business has become. How exhausted you are from long hours and minimal benefit.
Most of all, I can’t watch one more wedding planner say,
“I quit, I love weddings, but I'm exhausted and not making any money”
I am so excited to share this system with you. I want you to understand how committed I am to changing the wedding planning industry to being an industry filled with successful entrepreneurs instead of eager hobbyists.
I am not offering generic business advice that doesn’t really apply to you, or information that you have to slave over to make it fit into the wedding planning world. I want to offer you a system…
SUCCESS TRAINING FOR WEDDING PLANNERS DESIGNED BY A WEDDING PLANNER
I am a real life wedding planner just like you who has struggled but has come out on top. I’ve schlepped at weddings just like you, I’ve worked the 23 hour days, I’ve dealt with bridezilla and the princesses.
I know that you know weddings, and I’m not trying to tell you that you need to change the way you’re planning weddings. I want you to be seen as an expert in your field, attract brides who are willing to pay you what you’re worth AND I want you to have more free time to have fun with your family and friends.
To have a successful wedding planning business that generates income, doesn’t take up all of your time, and creates new opportunities for you then you MUST HAVE:
- A clear plan for your business- You need to know where you want your wedding planning business to grow
- A system that gives you the steps you need to take- A roadmap to take you on your journey to heightened success.
And those 2 MUST HAVES are exactly what I shared at Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE 2009 and what I'm now sharing with you in the Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE 2009 At Home Study Guide to the Rise to Fame System.
I want to share with you my step-by-step Rockstar Wedding Planner System.
Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE was designed specifically for wedding planners and is like no other event of its kind. This event transformed the lives of all in attendance and NOW you have the opportunity to access all the information I shared through audio CDs and the actual binder given to attendees.
We were together for 2 whole days while I shared my income generating Rise to Fame System and now I want to share it with you, and you don't even have to leave your home.
This is the system that saved my business, turned my life around and established my wedding planning business as an income producing endeavor.
“In Rockstar Wedding Planner LIVE At Home Study Guide to the Rise To Fame System we will grow your business and income to greater heights than you’ve ever imagined.”
When you’re going through the Rise to Fame System 4 major things will happen:
- We’ll actually be working on your business and creating a plan for your future. A future that is filled with abundance, success, and happiness.
- You will have the opportunity to analyze your entire business and implement my strategies to create a whole new life for your business, your family, and you.
- You will be surrounded by the energy of the other wedding planners who were in attendance (and me) who will support your efforts. You'll get to hear our masterminding and brainstorming which will take your ideas to new heights.
- You'll have a clearly defined direction for your business and you will have in hand a true marketing strategy for a successful wedding planning business, The Rise to Fame System, that will allow you to charge what you’re worth, enjoy and love your business again, give you the tools to work less, AND you’ll be on the road to doubling, even TRIPLING your income.
But before I tell you all the details I want to share a couple more success stories with you:
She Has The Tools To Attract The Right Kind of Bride
I've often heard that an ezine would lead to more brides hiring me to plan their weddings, but I didn't have a clue of how to go about starting one. Ciara explained in great detail what needs to be done and now I'm eager to begin informing my brides about the latest trends and allowing them to get to know me better before I actually meet them in person or on the phone! Thanks, Ciara!

Renewed Confidence In Her Ability To Succeed
When I first discovered Rockstar Wedding Planner my business HAD become an expensive hobby (as I noticed by looking at my tax return. YIKES!) and more than that I just felt defeated. Sure I've had clients here and there but my business wasn’t as successful (yet) as I wanted it to be. The information Ciara gave me was wonderful. It really helped me think about what to put on my blog, how to use social networking to benefit my business and how to network more effectively. I LOVED the idea of creating an ezine but I was clueless on how to even get started, then she made it SO easy. Of course the work was still there for me but Ciara laid the groundwork for me and let me know how to get started, the tools to use and most importantly to let my personality shine through. I was always so nervous to really expose my personality or add a sense of humour to things because I thought it would be frowned upon. I know that when I (personally) read things I love seeing the writer's personality but always thought as a Wedding Planner that was a "no-no". Now when I post on my blog, I'm writing conversationally just like Ciara suggested and it feels GREAT! Rockstar Wedding Planner has completely renewed my confidence in myself and my business and that means more to me than words can ever explain.

Raised Her Rates 45% and Her Client List Continues to Grow
“Become A Rockstar Wedding Planner” has completely shifted the way I do business! When I first heard about Rockstar Wedding Planner, my first thought was I'll just listen in on the FREE call....after all what could Ciara possibly tell me that I didn't know after 10 years in a successful business? I listened to the first call, and then joined immediately! Within the first call I realized how hard I was working and why I wasn't really getting the results I wanted. I was not having the opportunity to enjoy my business as much as I wanted because I was so immersed in the day to day; I didn't realize there were other ways (better ways) to market and attract customers than spending thousands on magazine ads; I was losing out on time with my family and life in general because I was so focused on my business; and I realized that my health was starting to suffer. I made several changes in my business that week and have continued with new ideas and direction after each call. It's made me realize I can have a life and be successful in my wedding business. I recently raised my rates 45% and have been pleasantly surprised that clients are still interested in me. I'm so excited for each months call because I know it's providing me with new tools to market myself, and make my life and work enjoyable. Thanks Ciara!
