Thought for the day...

The worst thing to happen at a wedding...

No pasta!

12/07/2023

I know we are not supposed to give up...and I think it's also important to know when to stop the insanity of doing something repeatedly that is so not working, while hoping for a different result.

For a long time my page did so well - it wasn't even about booking weddings and funerals but about the connections and conversations we were having.

Then one day, a couple of months ago - that just stopped.

Nothing changed on my end. I was still posting the same variety of content, but out of the blue all of the engagement came to a screeching halt.

It wasn't a slow decline that would tell me I need to make some tweaks and ramp things up - it was as though someone pulled the plug one night and that was the end of things.

I have continued to post and experimented with what time I post, what days I post, and even the content I post.

I keep an eye on the insights so I can see how many people my posts are being shown to - and although the numbers have gone from huge, to almost zero, to growing steadily again, the engagement hasn't come back.

I don't just post for the engagement, but the engagement tells me you enjoy what I am sharing and the knowledge and wisdom that I bring from a decade of experience in the funeral and wedding worlds.

Continuing to post every day simply seems like a waste of time and energy at this point. So....going forward I will only be posting super important things, and will keep my fingers crossed that a good amount of time between posts might prompt FB to show more of you my posts.

Happy Monday! Here is this week's blog post all about how to handle divorced parents while you plan your wedding...especially if they don't get along!

On a side note - not long ago there was a lot of engagement on my posts and so many wonderful conversations. Then one day...nothing! The data tells me FB isn't showing my posts to many of you so please...if you see this post, click like and leave a comment and fingers crossed FB will start showing my posts to you consistently again! Thank you!

Your entire wedding is meant to be a joyous occasion from start to finish, but divorced parents can sometimes throw a spanner in the works. Luckily, with a little preparation, you can ensure your w…

"Reverend Avril was a real beacon of light during a challenging time for us. She made the process of my grandfather's passing manageable and helped my family through the funeral services and other processes with gentle guidance. The day of the funeral, Rev. Avril led a beautiful service that paid honour to my grandfather and allowed members of our family to share their own loving tributes. Her leadership at the cemetery was invaluable and many members of my family remarked on her compassion, excellent speaking skills and overall professionalism. My family will absolutely be using Rev. Avril for all our services moving forward, I can't recommend her highly enough. "

Thank you to the family of Mr. RW for your kind words. It was truly an honour and a privilege to serve you at your time of sorrow.

Y'all know I'm a professional Tarot reader right?

I have spent a few years deep in my craft and have been popping up at parties, girls nights, and lots of Tarot events lately!

I am getting inquiries every week asking me about Tarot at weddings during cocktail hour - and I love it! What a cool way to entertain your guests while you are off getting your photos taken after your ceremony!

I bring my cute little fortune teller's tent complete with twinkly lights and all the items to make Tarot at your wedding the most magical experience - one your guests will talk about for years to come!

Tarot at weddings is $150 an hour and I will split hours - so if your cocktail hour is 90 minutes, your total will be $225. Two hours is $300.

Ready to include Tarot in your wedding festivities? DM me to chat!

Happy Monday! Here is this week's blog post...all about how to have the most picture perfect wedding!

You’ve put months and maybe years of planning into your wedding day – from flower arrangements to bridesmaids’ dresses and canapes, even the napkin colour! However, once it’s all over, your photos …

Huge thank you to St. Anthony's school in Port Hope for inviting me to bring my photo booth of Graduation 2023!

It was so much fun hanging out with the kids, watching them pose with their friends, and seeing their faces when I handed them their photos!

Such good luck graduates! Enjoy your summer and new adventure at high school!
