BUSINESS DESCRIPTION

Known for its impeccable service, creative vision, and unparalleled client experience, this Seattle-based wedding and event planning business has built a strong reputation over 14 years in the industry. With a proven track record of delivering extraordinary events, it has become a trusted name in Washington State and beyond.

This Well-Established Business Offers:
1. A Recognized and Respected Brand: The business name is synonymous with high-quality, personalized wedding planning and design services. Included in the sale are a polished website with high SEO performance, an established social media presence with thousands of followers, a database of professional photographs from hundreds of events, and features in local, national, and international publications. The company has received numerous awards and is recognized as one of the top wedding planning companies in the Seattle region.

2. Proven Vendor Relationships: Years of collaboration with trusted vendors have created a seamless planning process and a strong referral network. The business is a preferred vendor for multiple major venues in Washington, providing exclusive opportunities for future events.

3. A Loyal and Established Client Base: The business boasts a strong referral network and glowing testimonials from satisfied clients. The sale includes contracts for upcoming events and accounts receivable payments, ensuring a steady revenue stream with a roster of existing clients in addition to new bookings.

4. Experienced Team: The sale includes the opportunity to continue to work with a skilled team of employees, including an established event planner and seasonal event assistants.

5. Proven Systems and Processes: Detailed workflows and planning tools have been developed over the years to ensure efficient operations and high client satisfaction, providing a strong foundation for future growth.

6. Trademark Ownership: The business owns a registered trademark, which will be transferred as part of the sale, protecting the brand's identity and value.

7. Poised for Rapid Growth: The business has untapped potential for expansion into other event types or additional geographic markets. While the company has successfully served a high-end clientele, there is a significant opportunity to adjust pricing to target a broader market segment. In recent years, the current owner has taken a reduced role with limited clients and minimal marketing efforts, yet the company remained stable and regularly receives inquiries. This presents an excellent opportunity for a new owner to step in, take a more active role, and rapidly scale the business.

Owner's Role: At its height, the business employed multiple planners and delivered a high volume of events. Over the past few years, the owner has intentionally downsized operations to adapt to changing life circumstances. The owner's role has primarily focused on overseeing a select administrative functions such as payroll, monthly client billing, and maintaining business licenses. The owner occasionally stepped in to support employees with complex client issues, which have been infrequent. This hands-off approach highlights the business's well-structured systems and capable team, enabling smooth operations with minimal owner involvement.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone passionate about creating memorable experiences and ready to take over a thriving, turnkey operation. Whether you’re a seasoned event professional looking to expand your portfolio or an entrepreneur eager to enter the event planning industry, this is a rare chance to acquire a reputable business with a strong foundation and significant room for growth.

After 14 successful years in the industry, the owner is looking to spend more time with family and pursue personal interests. With the owner's reduced role in recent years, the business is well-positioned for growth and expansion under new ownership.

An NDA will be required to proceed further.
