Our Team
Elizabeth Marberry
Owner & CEO
Meet Elizabeth Marberry, Owner and Founder of Wedding Dance Coach.
With a brain for business and a heart for dance and PLAY, Elizabeth launched WDC after teaching her very own (non-dancer) fiance-now-husband how to loosen up, have fun, and CRUSH their first dance together in the Wedding Spotlight.
Elizabeth’s dance and choreography credentials are legendary. From her Performing Arts Degree to her many international dance appearances and projects, Elizabeth finally found her dance “home” helping other couples enjoy each other, ditch the wedding planning blues, and rekindle their “why” for getting hitched…all while learning simple and elegant moves for their Most Important Day.
After 14+ years as a Wedding Industry Leader, Elizabeth has also launched a multi-season podcast for other Creative Entrepreneurs and Wedding Professionals, and has grown her social media influence to over 120K combined account followers.
Now, she coaches other Owners on the exact steps she took to get where she is today, while continuing to lead her team of Expert Instructors, so she can reach even more couples who are ready to DANCE and SHINE, even when they think they have two left feet.
