Top shelf legal and tax solutions for wedding professionals
Raise a glass to yourself because you’re damn good at what you do. Cheers.
But while you’re booking your year out, prepping for one of the most important days of people’s lives, hustling to conferences, and zooming to discovery calls, the backend of the business has you stressed.
Your talent can take you far, but you can’t out-plan bad contracts, tax mistakes, or a legal dispute that wipes out an entire season’s revenue.
You know you need solid legal and tax foundations, and, like, and actual system.
You’re just not sure where to start or who to trust, especially when no-one understands your industry nor knows how to communicate in a clear, no B.S., industry-lingo, riddle-filled manner.
Every day is a battle between you and the wedding biz gremlins.

Uncle Sam
is on your ass sending hate mail, collecting tax penalties, and generally stressing you out.
And then there’s the Carousel of Chaos.
Your accountant says you don’t need an LLC.
And Google says maybe you don’t need any of it.
But the accountant needs numbers from your bookkeeper.
While TikTok says
you can write off whatever you want.
You’re dizzy from going in circles, and nobody you’re talking to actually understands how wedding businesses work.
But your lawyer says you do, so they ask the accountant about S Corp elections.
Here’s the truth nobody tells you:
You’re probably leaving thousands on the table in tax savings because your accountant doesn’t understand seasonal cash flow. Your contracts might not hold up in court because they weren’t written for wedding-specific disputes. And you’re one audit away from discovering you’ve been classifying your second shooters wrong for three years.
The worst part? You don’t even know what you don’t know. So every business decision feels like you’re guessing, hoping you’re not making a mistake that’ll cost you everything you’ve built.

Where we marry legal and tax solutions
built exclusively for wedding professionals.
Not generic small business owners. Not seven-figure corporations. Wedding pros like you who need advisors who actually understand your industry.
We get it because we’ve been working with wedding pros for years.
Businesses who earn 80% of their revenue in four months. We’ve seen it, and we’ve planned their quarterly taxes and cash flow.
Clients who want a refund because you delivered photos one day late, gave them “dusty rose” instead of “powder pink” linens, and we all know the list goes on. The answer is no, and our contracts back you up.
The rebrands that come from trademark infringement, intentional or not. We’ve dealt with the aftermath and we’ve also prevented it with trademark services.
We know that your biggest liability isn’t in a conference room—it’s on a dance floor at 11pm when someone’s had too much champagne.
Here’s what sets us apart:
We marry legal and tax under one roof
We specialize in wedding industry needs.
We’ve built a proven track record with over 3,500 Contract Club® members, 100+ trademarks filed, 100s of LLCs and S Corps formed and unknowable amount of taxes saved.
We don’t do judgment.
Three years behind on bookkeeping?
Your entity structure is a mess?
You’ve been ignoring quarterly taxes? We don’t care.
We just help you fix it. Your mess might be our norm.

What’s at stake?
Your peace of mind. It’s hard to put a dollar figure on the constant stress and anxiety that lingers with a messy business.
Legal Fees from the lawsuit your client filed based on a contract loophole. Say goodbye to an entire season’s profit.
Your savings account after an audit uncovers years’ of misclassfied contractors resulting in back taxes, penalties, and interest. That associate photographer you’ve been paying as a 1099? The IRS says they should have been a W-2 employee. You owe thousands.
Lost profit because you’re not leveraging your bookkeeping to make profit-driven decisions.
A business without a solid foundation can suffer a slow decline. Your business doesn’t implode overnight. It just stagnates.
Due to:
Financial and reputational devastation from a lawsuit
Missed opportunities because you’re unwilling to take on risk with that shaky foundation
Constant anxiety with every new client, tax deadline, and contract negotiation
Your talent and creativity can’t protect you from a bad contract, a tax mistake, or a structural business flaw. The wedding pros who make it long-term aren’t always the most talented—they’re the ones who got their business foundation right early enough that it didn’t cost them everything.
How much longer can you afford to wait?
Get on The Guest List today.
Every wedding professional needs solid legal and tax foundations. The question isn’t if you need this—it’s when you’ll finally handle it.
Start here:
Pay your cover charge and join the Academy, the Contract Club®, or both. Get the knowledge and templates you need to run your business with confidence.

“I wish I’d made the investment from the jump.”
Working with Braden had been along time coming. I wish I would have just made the investment into forming my entities from the jump. No confusion, no legal jargon, or frustration when working with Braden. I appreciate his straightforward attitude and amazing communication throughout the entire process. He answered every single question I had, walked me through next steps, and gave me great advice. Don’t waste time looking anywhere else! He really does make you feel like you have a gay best friend.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes. Here’s why: you can’t outsource understanding your business. Even if you plan to use our Bottle Service or hire other professionals, you need to know what’s possible, what questions to ask, and what decisions need to be made. The Academy gives you that foundation. Think of it like this—you wouldn’t hire a wedding planner without understanding what makes a good wedding flow, right? Same concept.
-
Nope. The Academy is designed for wedding professionals at every stage—from "I just got my first client" to "I'm booking out two years in advance." We cover foundations first, then scaling strategies. You take what you need now and come back to the rest as you grow.
-
Absolutely. In fact, you might need this more than you realize. Six-figure wedding businesses often have the messiest foundations because you've been too busy working to fix the structure. Most of our highest-earning clients discover they've been overpaying on taxes for years or that their contracts have gaps that could cost them everything. We've saved six-figure wedding pros $10k+ annually just by fixing their entity structure and tax strategy.
-
That's what the VIP Lounge is for. Academy alumni can upgrade to Members Only for $50/month and get monthly Q&A calls with our legal and tax team, plus priority email support. If you need something more intensive, that's when you'd explore Bottle Service options.
-
We specialize exclusively in wedding professionals. We understand seasonal cash flow (how 80% of revenue comes in 4 months), vendor relationships (1099 management for your team of contractors), creative contracts (protecting your work from unauthorized use), and wedding-specific liability issues. Generic business advisors don't get the nuances of your industry. We do.
-
[Insert your actual refund policy here]
-
Yes. You can purchase either program individually. However, most wedding professionals benefit from getting both because the Academy teaches you what contracts you need and how to customize them for your business, while the Contract Club® gives you the actual templates to use. That's why we offer them as a bundle that saves you $100.
-
The Academy covers federal tax strategy and general legal principles that apply everywhere, plus we include state-specific guides for entity formation and tax requirements. The Contract Club® templates are written to be compliant nationally, with customization guidance for state-specific laws. If you need state-specific legal advice, that's when you'd work with us through Bottle Service.
