Hi Dina, I like #4, its straight and to the point, and planners and brides have the same goal, "That perfect day"!

Good luck

Gosh, thanks you, two! You picked my two favorites. Maybe someone will break the tie!

Dina, hmmmm...
Ok... I HATE writing so I feel for you!!

I like #3 and #4.

I'd really like to hear your presentation though. I have some of "those" (not fun-no-time consuming, yes). Thanks and have a great day!!

Thanks, Michele. I plan to submit a proposal to ABC national to become part of their training faculty. Keep your fingers crossed!

Thanks for the great suggestions everyone. I'm either going to use:

Hear What Your Bride is Saying & Plan the Perfect Wedding

Hear What Your Bride is Really Saying: Non-Violent Communication Skills for Wedding Professionals

or punt!!

Hi Dina,

I really don't like number 2 or 4 - "hearing," to me, is like "um, yeah, like, I hear you..." "Listening" is hearing the person, but more importantly is UNDERSTANDING. My two cents on those terms anyway...

I do like number 3 to an extent... which bride speak though? Who is your target audience at this event? Planners, Stationers, Florists, Travel Agents, a large mixture???

Maybe something like "4 simple steps to understanding your brides needs"?

Hope this helps!!

Great feedback. Your distinction between hearing and listening is just what I'd like to highlight. Everyone hears, and no one thinks he or she is a bad listener.

I finally ended up with, Hear What Your Bride is Really Saying: Communication Skills for Wedding Professionals. That speaks to my target which is anyone who is 'bride-facing', although the skills are useful with colleagues, too.

Thanks again!
