So proud of what Wendi has created with Be Bright Events! Read more about this events powerhouse!
She walked away from a six-figure salary, as a single mom, with no safety net — to build experiences that change lives. 🎤
Wendi Freeman (Founder & CEO of Be Bright Events) has planned events through COVID cancellations, hotel bathroom breakdowns, and a ceremony involving healing frequencies and glow sticks. (Yes, really.)
We sat down with her — and pulled out 10 lessons every event planner needs to hear.
A few that hit hardest:
→ "Stop building backward from Pinterest. Start building forward from purpose."
→ The right vendors don't wait to be heroes. They prevent the fires from ever starting.
→ 88% of event planners report feeling exhausted. Wendi's fix? Systems before hustle — every time.
→ What looks like one task is usually ten. Build your timeline accordingly.
Whether you're planning your first corporate retreat or your hundredth conference, this one's worth the read.
