Who We Are Looking For
The ideal candidate for Wed Society franchise ownership are ambitious, and are motivated to create a business that is built to last. We are not wedding planners, and wedding industry experience is certainly not required.
Our local publishers lead the sales and marketing of their business, and often come from a business development or similar background. While we don’t require sales experience, and provide a robust training program, our owners are excited by the prospect of networking with other local small business owners, creating relationships, and building community.
Our owners have a sense of style and an eye for detail. In curating the most inspirational weddings and talented wedding vendors to feature, our owners appreciate the joy that comes from discovering and sharing the best their community has to offer.
If you are an ambitious relationship builder with a keen sense of style, then we should talk!
