"All the world's a stage and most of us are desperately unrehearsed." Actors spend hours rehearsing, studying scripts, and refining their performances. Why shouldn't we? Without a venue tour, the wedding couples rarely book. And for a lasting impression, your venue tour deserves more than just winging it. In "Scripted," you'll learn from wedding industry expert and former international opera singer, Ian Ramirez, ways to create a captivating tour experience, how to handle the different characters you encounter in sales, and practice lines and scripts for negotiating and closing on the spot.
