Back after popular request, I am hosting a new series of Weddings Insiders Seminars, with the first one coming next week on Tuesday (March the 10th, 2026). This seminar will include a roundtable discussion by three fantastic wedding planners from various markets, who will discuss pressing topics regarding the changes in the wedding market for this upcoming season.
I absolutely love education. I love learning from others, in the hopes to avoid spending unknown amounts of time having to learn first hand through countless rounds of trial and error. Education and information from reputable sources can be so valuable in that it can give you the shortcuts to a more successful outcome, from the perspective of someone who went through “it” and came out the other end a better, more successful brand. Give me those shortcuts all day, every day!
