Surprise! We have a bonus episode to share with everyone. Joe and I had the amazing opportunity to interview Wedding Business Solutions owner, Global Speaker, Podcaster and so much more - Alan Berg.
While he primarily speaks to vendors, we convinced him to share his tips and secrets with our listeners. Stay tuned for his insights on social proof, why it's important to read reviews (not just look at their overall score), and why a budget isn't often a realistic budget.

"It's a great idea... An outdoor wedding saves so much money", everyone says. Hold on... does it actually save you money? Is it really a great idea? Sure, it's not going to be your typical ballroom wedding but what actually goes into planning an outdoor wedding?

Tune in to this week's episode to hear everything that goes into an outdoor wedding and why we love them so much. :)These are our top 3 episodes to start with if you are new to our show.

We flipped the script this week and invited one of our couples to come onto our podcast 2 day before their wedding!! Why? Because the weather was going sideways, stress was at an all time high, and we wanted to throw more at them ... JUST KIDDING!
The weather was not looking good, and since we had multiple conversations about their wedding plan, we thought it would be fun to bring them on to chat about the weather and other wedding day concerns. And bonus, we even did a mid-wedding follow up to see what they thought of their special day. For all of you couples having you pre-wedding panic attack, this episode is for you!These are our top 3 episodes to start with if you are new to our show. We'd love to hear from you.

FACT: A good wedding is actually not just one event, or even one day. A good wedding allows your guests to fully embrace their time together with you and your significant other, and what better time is there to lean into all that QT then at the rehearsal dinner?
What exactly is a rehearsal dinner?What happens at the rehearsal dinner?Who pays?Who attends?
A couple things to note: A rehearsal is NOT the same as a rehearsal dinner. You don't need to do the rehearsal at the same time (or right before) the rehearsal. In fact, many couples are choosing to do their rehearsals in the morning the day before their wedding, take a break, then gather again with loved ones for the rehearsal dinner.
In this episode, Joe and I are going to talk about the following key topics:In addition to these high level questions, we'll dive into our own personal tips to make your rehearsal dinner (and wedding weekend) as fun, memorable and stress free as possible. Tune in to learn more!
