I don’t do many solo podcast episodes—and while I won’t say this topic was “laid on my heart,” I do think it’s something important to talk about.

Let’s chat about having realistic expectations of your wedding vendors.

Social media often makes it look like everything in the wedding world is all butterflies and rainbows—but that’s not always the reality.

In Part 1, I’m sharing two experiences from my time doing full-service planning where my couples weren’t completely happy with my work. I’ll walk through why they felt that way and offer some perspective from my side.

I think a lot of vendors will relate—because for most of us, a 4-star review feels like a zero. We’re wired to chase that 5-star experience every single time. That’s what drives us to go above and beyond.

In Part 2 I will share some feedback from vendors on current challenges they are facing when it comes to expectations that can help you navigate the wedding planning process!

I’ve never met anyone that knows BBQ like Antonia, Wedding Event Specialist with City Barbeque for Lexington, Louisville & Southern Indiana!

This week’s episode may not be for everyone, but I think it will really resonate with many of you. I met Alyson, owner of Birdcage and Blushers Weddings in Chicago, this spring at Podcast Movement. Even though she’s a wedding planner, she’s currently planning a wedding of her own—her second one.

Alyson opens up about getting married while still in college, going through an unexpected divorce in her 20s, the role therapy played in her journey, and how she knows her fiancé is truly the one. We also dive into whether she’ll be wearing white, who will walk her down the aisle, and so much more.

I always say I want to be Carrie when I grow up. She’s always so nice, positive and dressed perfectly! It was an honor to have her back on the podcast to share all of the updates happening with Geno's Formal Affair and Mac & Clay!

Did you know Geno’s Formal Affair is locally owned and operated. Everything they rent is already in a warehouse right here in Lexington!

Tune in to learn about renting or buying a suit or tuxedo for your wedding day (or special event)! You now have the option to purchase one while the groomsmen rent to match the color of yours!

Need a tuxedo or custom suit for a female? They can help with that too! You can also listen on spotify and apple.
