Get ready for a cutting-edge discussion with Michelle Martinez, host of the Big Wedding Planning Podcast, where we plunge headfirst into the futuristic world of AI and its application in wedding planning. Ever wondered how AI can streamline the communication process with vendors, family, and friends during wedding planning? Or, how it can save you significant time without stripping away the all-important human touch? We've got you covered!
We dive into the creative applications of AI in wedding planning, from crafting personalized scripts to generating eloquent wording for your invitations using chat GPT. We also chat about an exciting free tool, Destinations AI, that could revolutionize your travel planning process. However, it's not all rosy; we also venture into the ethical considerations involved, especially the potential for AI to misrepresent a professional's work.
We wrap up with a lively discussion about Michelle's innovative, budget-friendly three-month coaching program that offers a personalized journey to your dream wedding. We also evaluate and share our favourite AI tools that can help simplify your wedding planning process. But we're not naive about its potential drawbacks, so we also caution against the risk of AI creating a false impression of a professional wedding planner. This episode is your golden ticket to leveraging AI in your wedding planning journey. Tune in to unlock all these insights and much more!Places to go - People to see:

Have you ever found yourself in the awkward dance of tipping and gifting at weddings, not knowing the etiquette or expectations? Well, you're not alone. We've brought in wedding industry experts Megan Noll and John C to shed some light on this complex etiquette. They're sharing their personal experiences, the standards in the industry, and even revealing the results of an Instagram poll on what wedding vendors typically receive.
Navigating the landscape of gratitude in the wedding industry can be tricky. Megan and Jon discuss how social media presence and personal relationships can influence gift giving. They also touch on the somewhat uncomfortable but necessary subject of inflation and its impact on the tipping range. They emphasize the importance of being explicit about tipping instructions. But it's not just about money. They share heartwarming stories of clients expressing their appreciation in unique and thoughtful ways. From the Brooklyn client who sent a deluxe package of bagels and cream cheese to the necklace that was so 'Megan', these gifts convey appreciation in a memorable way.
Let's not forget about the unsung heroes of the wedding industry – the vendors. Megan and John underline the value of client testimonials and feedback. They discuss the creation of an effective feedback form and how to share reviews across platforms to maximise their impact. Even after the wedding bells have stopped ringing, they stress the importance of recognising the hard work of vendors. So sit back and listen in, whether you're a vendor or a client, there's something valuable to learn for everyone.

Ever wondered about the secret sauce behind unforgettable wedding photos? The answer lies in the tug of war between shot list and candid photography. We walk you through this intricate conversation, with our special guest, destination wedding photographer and educator, Kelley Williams. Her expertise and practical insights on balancing both styles promises to leave you with plenty of food for thought.
As we unpick the delicate fabric of wedding photography, we reveal how the photographer's approach—be it adhering to a shot list or exploring the boundaries of creativity—can shape the outcome. The episode explores the diversity and richness that can be achieved with candid shots, but also acknowledges the satisfaction a well-executed shot list can bring. Beyond this, we emphasize the magic that clear communication can conjure. We discuss how discussing expectations, planning the day's timeline effectively, and allowing enough time for those special, unscripted moments can elevate your album from good to great.
We round off our discussion by underlining the importance of building a genuine connection with your photographer. After all, the more comfortable and authentic you are, the more your photos will reflect that. We also delve into the potential of Pinterest boards as a tool for communicating your vision and wrap up with tips on nurturing your photographer relationship. And of course, we couldn't forget the power of social media shoutouts and reviews. So tune in as we navigate the nuances of wedding photography with our incredible guest, Kelley Williams, and equip you with the knowledge to make your wedding photos a true reflection of your special day.

This week we (SW Florida) took a direct hit from Hurricane Ian. Let me say that it was the scariest day of my life. But we made it. Our local wedding community is strong and we will rebuild. I had to wait to get internet back in order to be able to drop this episode and the next few will most likely be delayed. Please stick with me though because we have so many good episodes to come.
Are you at the point where you are determining what formality of wedding you'll be having? By formality I mean, White Tie, Black Tie, Black Tie invited or optional, Formal, Cocktail, Resort or Beach Casual, or Casual? In this episode Kristy and I will be explaining the differences in maximalist and minimalist black tie. This topic is intriguing is because day in and day out couples steer away from Black Tie because they're concerned it will be too stuffy or over the top when in actuality it can be the exact opposite.
KRISTY’S WORK, LIKE HER PERSONALITY, is at times difficult to pin down. Her brushstrokes can ebb and flow from highly detailed and meticulous to free-flowing and boundless, all the while remaining captivating and unmistakable. For the last 19 years, Kristy’s obsession with paint and paper has evolved into the innovative and wildly recognized brand, Momental Designs. Kristy has transformed event stationery into a persuasive and compelling medium that garners global attention from media, celebrities and some of the world’s most creative individuals. Widely regarded as an industry tastemaker, Kristy’s styling, painting and stationery innovations have been featured in creative editorials and installations in some of the world’s most famed publications. Kristy’s work has been credited in People Magazine, Good Morning America, New York Live, The Knot, Inside Weddings and Brides Magazines, Vanity Fair, Martha Stewart Weddings. She is also a 9-time author.Places to go -

You're definitely having a wedding ceremony so that means you have a few decisions to make while planning this part of your wedding day. Once you've decided who's going to take part in the ceremony, you'll have to decide how you'll have them walk into your ceremony (the processional), where you'll want everyone to stand or sit. Some wedding ceremonies will have traditions and protocols depending on culture, religion or venue (church or synagogue), but these days there are so many options you could consider and far less rules. I hope that you love this episode and that it gives you some thought into making your wedding ceremony one that feels best to you.

Get out your tissues because this one is going to have tears rolling down your face. In this ceremony planning episode, Greg and I discuss honoring the long standing tradition of the father of the bride giving his daughter to the groom versus presenting her to him. Once we discussed why or why not, Greg offered the actual script he did for his daughters weddings that were, oh my gosh, beyond heartfelt. I was BALLING! Oh but it gets better. Greg also wrote a song for their father daughter dance as a surprise. You'll get to hear it at the end of the episode. You can swipe Gregs script and browse the rest of the website for the full story and officiants script. You can listen to the song here. Absolutely let us know if you plan on incorporating either - we'd love to know!

He worked as a wedding reception DJ for 27 years and has personally entertained at 1200 wedding receptions. He's also someone who believes fathers should NOT give their daughters away on their wedding day but should "present them for marriage" instead.

You and your fiance know that you need help on your wedding day and you've decided you do not want your family or friends to have to work at your wedding. They are there to see you get married and you want them to enjoy your celebration . Not all, but most wedding planning companies offer several types of services including day-of coordination (sometimes called Event Management) or full service planning with or without design. In this episode we guide you through the tasks and responsibilities a coordinator is limited to versus the full scope of guidance and advocacy that a full service planner provides.

Who is going to do all the talking at your wedding? Default seems to most often be your wedding DJ or Band Leader. Another option we see sometimes is a friend or family member who's "good on the mic". But did you know that you could also have a Professional Emcee? Artem and I talk about the pros and cons to the decision that you make here. Let me tell you - there are some considerable notes that come up during this episode that I didn't even think of with 20 years of weddings behind me. My eyes are wide open after this episode.

This one is for the can't dancers. I can't dance. Kelly James (my husband) can't either. But that doesn't keep us off the dance floor. Luckily for you, I learned about BetterSway online dance studios and you never have to worry about your 1st dance ever again. In this eye opening episode, Christy, Allen and I discussed everything there is to know about the decision to take dance classes in person or MAGICALLY learn how to look better on the dance floor right in your living room.

I would LOVE a text from you!
Have you started booking or interviewing your wedding vendors and creative partners? Have you received quotes, proposals or agreements? Have you followed up with everyone who you've reached out to? That's what we are talking about today. Your decision to "Ghost", offer feedback, offer your decision or return for more questions. This is a touchy subject; but one that we in the wedding industry would love for you to put some thought into.
Today, we are joined by Ivan Wognin of Ivan Amssan Photography Co. This 2021 Top 5 Red River Valley Photographer, leads a wedding photography and education collective serving in Fargo, North Dakota, and worldwide! Being a true extrovert and lover of people, Ivan believes in serving others from an intentional and relationally driven place. Most days, you can find him doing two things: providing newly engaged couples with valuable tips for a laid-back and present-filled day, and helping photographers build a brand on social media. When he's not serving in his business, he is likely getting a bowl of zeppoles from Olive Garden!
