How to promote your wedding planning business on TikTok on a real budget
A styled shoot costs a day rate, a photographer, a venue fee and a florist, before you have a single clip cut for TikTok. Skip it. Write a brief instead: one wedding, one moment, the couple's first look or the reception room lighting up. Upload the photos or footage you already have from past weddings. The studio composes the cuts, writes the on-screen text, adds narration if you want it, and renders one MP4 at 1080 × 1920. The quote shows a cap before anything runs, and a second version in another ratio costs less than the first.

Where couples watch and what to render
Instagram and Pinterest are where wedding decisions get made, so render 9:16 at 20 to 30 seconds for Reels and Stories, and 1:1 for the feed and Pinterest. Cuts on the beat of a track keep a highlight sequence from feeling like a slideshow. Keep a 60-second 16:9 version for your website's services page and for venue partners to embed, narrated, explaining the packages properly.

Posting to TikTok and making variants
You review the render in the studio and post it to TikTok from there. Because every version is kept, you can re-render the same video with a different hook line or a different opening scene and post both. From the same brief, ask for a 9:16 cut for Reels and Shorts and a 1:1 cut for the feed, or a second narration language for the same footage.
TikTok videos planned, narrated and rendered from a short briefA brief you can paste
Paste this into the studio chat, or change the names and numbers first.
A 15-second TikTok for our wedding planning business. Open on the reception room doors opening to reveal the full tablescape and string lights. Cut to a close-up of the centerpiece, then the couple's first dance for two seconds. Warm acoustic music, cuts on the beat. On-screen text: full-service planning, Austin and Hill Country. Calm female narration, one sentence: from engagement to exit, one planner start to finish. End on the business name and a contact line, keep the lower third clear.
Questions people ask
What's cheaper, a TikTok shoot or a rendered video?
A render is priced per second, with a cap shown before you approve it. There's no day rate, no crew, no travel. The cost goes into planning the cuts and rendering the file, not into booking a shoot for a fifteen-second post.
Can the studio use photos from a wedding I already planned?
Yes. Upload the photos or footage from a past event and the studio composes them into the spot, with pans and Ken Burns moves on stills. It doesn't generate new footage, so the wedding you show has to be one you already have on file.
