Central Coast Wedding Professionals hosted a special hands-on training event with Wedding Market in Pismo Beach, California last week. The three-hour session “How Brides Are Using Social Media To Plan Their Weddings and How To Reach Them” was given by editor Julie Albaugh.

The session included information that was compiled by several wedding industry reports which included Facebook, The Knot, Brides and Think Splendid. Hands-on activities included how to take better pictures and video with your cell phone.

How to increase your following with Instagram with the use of hashtags, apps and live video. Wedding pros broke up into groups to take pictures and share their posts with fellow pros later. The group had fun looking and making suggestions on each other’s posts. The event was hosted at the lovely SeaCrest OceanFront Hotel. Wedding Market enjoyed working with Central Coast Wedding Professionals on their event.
