As a wedding pro deep in the heart of wedding season, you’re not just managing timelines and deadlines—you’re juggling dreams, client communication, and the growing demands of your thriving business. You’ve heard the buzzwords: OBM and VA. But what do they really mean for you?

Your business is more than just love stories and lace; it’s a living, breathing entity that needs constant attention—from client communications and marketing strategies to operations and project management. But let’s be real, there are only so many hours in a day. You deserve to spend some of those precious hours doing what you love most, whether it’s capturing that perfect shot, designing dream-worthy invitations, or styling events that leave everyone in awe.

That’s where Virtual Assistants (VAs) and Online Business Managers (OBMs) come in. These roles can be your secret weapons in scaling your wedding business. But to truly benefit, you need to understand the difference. So, let’s explore the world of OBM vs. VA and see how the right support can transform your business from behind the scenes.

What Exactly is a Virtual Assistant (VA)?

Think of a Virtual Assistant as your right-hand helper who works remotely, tackling the tasks that keep your business running smoothly. VAs are versatile, handling everything from administrative duties to marketing support, freeing up your time to focus on what you do best.

What is an Online Business Manager (OBM)?

Imagine a Virtual Assistant (VA) as the hands that get things done, while an Online Business Manager (OBM) is the strategic mind that ensures everything runs like a dream. An OBM is your business’s secret weapon, taking a step back to see the bigger picture—managing operations, refining processes, and ensuring that every project and team member is in perfect harmony.

At Boda Bliss, we understand how crucial it is for wedding professionals to have a partner who gets the industry and acts as the bridge between you and your team. An OBM is that partner, helping you run your business with the precision of a CEO while freeing you to focus on what you love most—the creative, the personal, the unique.

Which is Better for Your Business?

On the other hand, if you’re facing growth hurdles or inefficiencies in managing projects, an OBM might be the key to taking your business to the next level.

When to Hire Both a VA and an OBM?

In some cases, your business may benefit from both roles. For example, if you’re juggling a heavy workload that includes both day-to-day tasks and complex strategic decisions, having both a VA and an OBM can create a well-rounded team. This combination can manage daily operations efficiently while also driving long-term growth.
