NICE TO MEET YOU
CATHERINE HAS BEEN AT THE VANGUARD OF THE WEDDING INDUSTRY FOR ALMOST TWO DECADES AS A WELL-RESPECTED WEDDING INDUSTRY ENTREPRENEUR, TRAINER, AND INFLUENCER.
She successfully founded and operated SAMANTHAS BRIDAL, personally planning and delivering wedding celebrations for discerning global couples across a diverse range of venues and special places for 15 years. She’s worked in some of the Kenya’s finest Stately homes, Kenyan landmarks, 5-star hotels, and private family homes, with deep experience in heritage locations, which carries through to her consulting work.
Strains, develops and nurtures hundreds of new wedding business owners on how to authentically sell their services, exceed customer expectation,s and run thriving businesses.
Catherine launched her consulting and training business for venues because of the demand from wedding venue teams who know and appreciate just how great her working style is.
Catherine says “Having been part of the entire wedding process with many hundreds of wedding couples, I’ve seen every facet of how a venue operates from early marketing, website, inquiry handling, show-round, conversion, co-ordination and event day operations. I’ve seen the good, the bad, and the huge untapped opportunities. I am passionate about working with special venues to ensure their entire offering is spot on, exceeding customer needs and ultimately driving sales results and attracting more of the right wedding business”.
Commissioning Catherine and her 10,000 + hours of knowledge of the business of weddings was one of our smartest business moves with this new venture. She got us immersed in the modern wedding market and its expectations quickly and easily, razor-focused us on our best wedding offer for financial success, our renovation plans, our pricing, and vital early marketing strategy. She has enabled us to move forward in our plans with confidence and clarity and in just a few short months we are now launched, raising our profile, taking our first bookings, and on track for a VERY successful (and on target) first year of weddings.
