Building a thriving and reliable business, especially in the wedding industry, requires more than just creative talent or charisma.

In our conversation, Kelsey and I delve into the often "daunting" aspects of business ownership, covering topics such as setting up bank accounts, saving for taxes, drafting and negotiating contracts, and strategizing to move a business into higher markets.
