Each week, Andie Towner, founder of The Bridal Journey, and celebrant and content creator Sarah Davoli sit down with the people who actually know how weddings work: the stylist, the bride whose wedding became a business, the money expert, the planner and the marketer, and ask them what they would tell you if nobody was listening.</p><p><br></p><p>Today, we are speaking to Laura from Weddings of Desire, who plans weddings for a living and knows what is going to go wrong before it does. We talk about what a planner is actually for, what to book first and what not to touch for six months, which vendor everyone under-budgets for, how to cut the guest list without losing a friend, the run sheet mistake that ruins the day, who really decides on a wedding, and the things planners do not usually say out loud.</p><p><br></p><p>Love the podcast?
