On todayâs episode, hosts James and Otto are joined by Britt and Francie from 42 North, a weddings and event planning business. While much of their clientele is in New England, they also plan destination weddings for clients in New York, Chicago, and LA. Britt and Francie share what a wedding planner does, comparing wedding planning to putting on a Broadway production with no rehearsals. They discuss building their venues and creating beautiful yet functional environments, such as mitigating dust with a water truck for a desert wedding. With a crew of up to 200 people and a multi-million-dollar budget, the stakes are high, and they must make big decisions and manage real emotions from clients who have spent over a year planning their special day.
They discuss the skill set needed for making big decisions, recounting a recent wedding on tribal land in New Mexico. After 16 months of planning, a monsoon forced Britt to make a quick decision to change the reception location. They emphasize that just making a decision is better than not making one and highlight the importance of commitment and respect in their role as planners.
Britt and Francie have been in business for 10 years, with evolving roles. Britt manages clients and vendors, while Francie runs Mavinhouse. They started working together without knowing each other and developed a business partnership based on trust and complementary skills. Francie had years of experience, while Britt brought a fresh perspective and an all-in mentality.
Britt and Francie share their excitement for new ideas and the fulfillment of building a business together. Their motivation is not just about weddings but the joy of running a business and staying true to their values. They also stress genuine connections with vendors and coworkers, describing their team as a family that supports each other.
In the service industry, stepping up to serve with gratitude is essential. They trust their partners and value the months of preparation leading to the wedding day. After each wedding, they review what worked well and what can be improved, bringing in team members with complementary skills.
Before wrapping up, Britt and Francie share how they started a blog called âCaramel OâClock,â where they write to each other once a week, reminiscing about their experiences. The blog, named after their office caramel breaks, reflects their fun and quirky dynamic.

On todayâs episode, hosts James and Otto are joined by Alison and Bryan from Alison Bryan Destinations. The couple has an impressive portfolio, which includes work around the globe, including Morrocco, Spain, and Greece, Italy and Mexico, just to name a few. Many people use âexperienceâ as a buzzword, but with Alison and Bryan, it is a fundamental part of their ethos.
Kicking things off, Alison and Bryan share their business, which started 16 years ago in Seattle, moved through Michigan and California before going global. Alison explains that their passion for hospitality naturally evolved into a love for event planning, which wasnât initially planned. The company typically works with around 50-60 guests, allowing them to manage every detail of the guest experience. Their events are more than just weddings; they are like extended vacations, often lasting four days to a week.
Alison and Bryan emphasize the importance of finding the right fit with their clients and ensuring goals and values are aligned before agreeing to work with someone. The core of Alison and Bryanâs business is a client-centered approach. They aim to provide personalized service that makes every guest feel taken care of, regardless of their background. They believe true luxury means catering to everyoneâs needs and ensuring all guests feel at home. Their clients, often philanthropists, appreciate the way their events focus on the guestsâ experience.
Our guests explain that mastering the craft goes beyond these fundamentals to understanding the language of luxury and, more importantly, focusing on how people feel. The true goal is to create an atmosphere that elicits a deep emotional response, which is more significant than the visual appeal alone. For affluent clients, where financial means are not an issue, the challenge is to offer something beyond material extravagance. The real value lies in authenticity and genuine connections. Another important aspect of event planning is building trust with clients, allowing them to relinquish control and fully enjoy their event.
Alison and Bryan acknowledge the intense workload that comes with their commitment to excellence. The demanding nature of their projects requires long hours and dedication, often involving early mornings and extended days. This level of commitment underscores the importance of each project being special and meaningful. They also highlight the importance of having a cohesive team and happy, well-trained staff, especially for destination events. They stress the need for venues to provide exceptional service that reflects the character of the region.
Before wrapping up Alison and Bryan explain that their business model always prioritizes quality over quantity. They turn down many potential clients to maintain their high standards and personal touch. This selective approach ensures they can provide exceptional service and stay true to their ethos. Donât miss their advice for aspiring luxury event planners: success comes from choosing the right jobs that align with your business and recognizing oneâs own talent. They also acknowledge past misconceptions about high-end clients and emphasize how many of their clients, including billionaires, are incredible people.

As photographers and business owners, continuous growth is the name of the game. What gets in the way of this growth are the blindspots we all have. If weâre not booking the weddings we want or showing up the way we want to, curiosity and radical self-honesty are the only way to initiate the change we need.
Itâs really hard to assess ourselves, and often that process is brought on by a huge life event. Nothing makes us self-reflect more than a moment of transition in our lives, like the end of a relationship.
For Erik Clausen, the last 18 months have been a season of reflection, growth and transformation and his business has benefitted. How did photography go from hobby, to artform and then to a business? How does the process of self-reflection benefit us as business owners? How do you shine a light on your blindspots?
In this episode, Erik shares the story behind his personal growth and why itâs made him better at what he does.

Unique experiences, powerful emotions, beauty, family, love and legacyâŠthese are some of the words planners use to describe the service they provide. Itâs very rare to hear a planner talk about wellbeing and happiness being the leading drivers of what they do.
At the highest level of wedding planning, the concept of caring for people can get lost in the luxurious logistics. What sets the best apart isnât being really good at the job because everyoneâs good. What makes the difference is caring about the client as a human being, being their rock throughout the process and having a real heart of service.
How do you weave client wellbeing and happiness into your process? Why is it important to set big goals for ourselves for business owners? How do you get out of your own bubble as a planner?

Luxury weddings involve so many great things like travel, amazing experiences and glamorous events. Because all these facets are so fun and exciting, itâs easy to fall into the trap of treating the job like a hobby.
In order to build something that sustains you, you have to treat it like a business. Yes, the job is fun, but itâs also our livelihood so we have to handle it accordingly. In an industry where the barrier gets lower everyday, the people who have staying power are the ones who think like CEOs, and build solid structures that support what we do.
How did Brooke Keegan come to this realization and what did she change after it dawned on her? How did she shift from flat fee to percentage-based pricing?
What other structures did she put in place to truly start treating it like a business? In this episode, Brooke talks about the epiphany that changed her business, and what it took to get to where she is today.

Most wedding professionals are taught to grow by way of digital marketing, but thereâs something with a much higher ROI - relationship marketing. When you compare what you get out of fostering industry relationships with digital marketing, itâs not even close. The former will always win.
One ad can bring in a single wedding. One industry collaboration can bring you hundreds of weddings throughout your lifetime. Thatâs the kind of ROI marketing dollars will never buy! It doesnât matter what level youâre at - entry level, high-end or ultra-luxury, investing in relationships will always create the most value.
How do you grow your business and even level up in your clientele without digital marketing? Could introverts actually have an advantage when it comes to networking? How can one industry relationship turn into a lifetime of business?
In this special on-site episode in Venice, Italy, weâre joined by husband and wife duo Cherish and Lindsey Conklin. The co-founders of Le RĂȘve Films talk about their business, networking and how they grew an ultra-luxury wedding business without paying for a single ad.

When you work in the fast-paced, demanding world of luxury weddings, itâs easy to run on reactivity - to act first and then think later.
Running on intentionality, being thoughtful first and then taking action is a completely different approach. Living by intention touches every facet of your life, and of course impacts how you run your business and serve your clients.
For Lea Stafford, being intentional means slowing down to think more clearly, identifying what allows her to be her best and making that the foundation of everything she does.
What practices allow Lea to be a more intentional individual, and how does that impact her business? How does connecting with clients at a deeper level make for more meaningful moments?
How do you create events that tug on all the senses? In this episode, weâre joined by the founder of Stafford Creative + Co and Seven-Eight Living. Lea talks about intentionality and what it takes to produce events that have a soul.

A special event is made up of 3 types of experiences - the atmospheric, the tangible and the organic pieces of whatâs happening in the moment. Wedding planners are tasked with weaving all these things together and adding connection to the recipe. When this takes place in the context of a destination - local or abroad - there also has to be a story component centered on the place.
From the fluttering fun of initial planning to the gratification of the culminating moment, everything has to be about designing this experience. Then the experience has to connect to the couple, the guests and the location. How do you craft a defining experience and then connect people to it?
Why does our guest take a bespoke approach to assembling the team of vendors? In this episode, Augusta Cole talks about her journey, the beautiful roots of her approach to weddings, and the process of starting her own business after working with Easton Events.

Offer a discount, drop your rates, or put more into the package - this is what most people will do when they want to get more business. The problem is, in doing this, youâre devaluing yourself in the eyes of the client, which works against you in luxury.
The secret to raising your rates is actually refining your brand and elevating your proposal which means eliminating elements. Instead of incentivizing clients by lowering your price or stuffing your offering, you get them to spend by valuing yourself more.
What are some of the things we need to refine or even eliminate? How can you make big leaps in business through small increments? What are the secrets to getting more luxury clients? In this episode, weâre joined by Colorado photographer, John Moler. He shares how he tripled his price tag by simplifying everything he does.

As luxury shifts from conspicuous consumption to conscious consumption, we have to change how we think about the services we provide. Itâs not that people are spending less money, they are just choosing to spend smarter, and putting more meaning behind every buying choice.
In the luxury travel space, crafting a great experience shouldnât start with the location, it starts with the feeling people are seeking. Itâs about focusing on the ingredients of the experience rather than the deliverable. What they want, not where they want.
This is especially true in the destination wedding space - where travel intersects with celebration, meaning, and connection. How do we deliver experiences driven by meaning, not money? What is the secret to building relationships with luxury vendors? Where is luxury travel headed and what does it mean for weddings?
In todayâs episode, weâre joined by travel industry icon and founder and partner of EMBARK Beyond, Jack Ezon. He shares his journey, what sets his team apart, and why travel matters. He also shares luxury trends in the wedding industry and beyond.
