Your couples are searching Google right now. They’re not finding you.
We’re venue people. Twenty years running weddings in DC, Chicago, New York, and the Bay Area. We got tired of watching great venues lose bookings to mediocre ones with better Google presence. So we built what we wished we’d had.
You’re paying The Knot $8K a year for leads that go to ten other venues.
Local Buzz Agency was built by venue operators who’ve spent 20+ years running wedding and event venues in DC, Chicago, New York, and the Bay Area. We’ve paid The Knot. We’ve felt the frustration of running beautiful venues that nobody could find on Google.
Meanwhile, your website is five years old, and you’re afraid to touch it. You know you should “do more marketing,” but there’s no time between tours, vendor emails, and chasing COIs. And the agencies that promise to handle it? They want $2K/month forever with no exit plan—and they never actually explain what they’re doing.
Invisible on Google
Your Google Business Profile is incomplete, your reviews are trickling in too slowly, and when couples search ‘[your town] wedding venue,’ you’re nowhere near the top.
Outdated Website
Your site was built before mobile mattered. Now 70% of couples browse on their phones—and they bounce if it takes more than 3 seconds to load.
A DIFFERENT MODEL
Own it. Don’t rent it.
Here’s the thing: most marketing relationships are designed to keep you dependent. The agency holds the keys. The platform owns the audience. You keep writing checks because you’re not sure what will happen if you stop.
We do it differently. We build systems you control. We train your team to run them. And when the project’s done, you don’t need us anymore—though we’re here if you want us.
Thirty minutes a week after setup. That’s all it takes to maintain what we build.
