In this coaching episode, I sit down with Jes Barkman—wedding planner, venue consultant, and business coach for creative moms in the wedding industry. We dive deep into her consulting offers, pricing strategies, and how she's building a business that supports both her clients and her life as a new mom.
Jes shares her journey from high-volume venue sales to launching a virtual consulting model that helps wedding vendors grow profitable businesses without burning out. Whether you're a coach, a creative, or somewhere in between, this episode will challenge you to claim your value, rework your pricing, and build a more sustainable business that aligns with your life.
Jes is a wedding business consultant turned no-BS coach for venues and vendors who want to make more money without going full luxury. After years in the trenches — selling weddings, planning for all kinds of couples, and scaling a seasonal micro-venue to 7 figures — she now helps other pros do the same with bold strategy, personality-packed offers, and zero fluff. Jes is currently building a certification program to teach wedding planners how to launch and grow virtual consulting businesses — especially those who want more balance as working moms without giving up what they love.
