Hot Takes from a Planner: What I’d Tell You If Feelings Weren’t a Factor

In this solo episode, I’m sharing the things I'm often tempted to bite my tongue on as a wedding planner. Consider this my unfiltered list of truths I’d tell you if I wasn’t worried about hurting your feelings.


I talk about why cocktail hours don’t need to feel like carnivals, why florists can’t (and shouldn’t) give quotes prior to contracting, and why lighting is one of the most overlooked investments that can transform your entire celebration. I also share my take on welcome gifts that miss the mark, the pressure couples feel to over-entertain their guests, and why you should trust your planner to do the job you hired them for.


These are insights pulled straight from years of producing high-touch events for discerning clients. They’re not always comfortable to hear, but they will shift the way you think about planning a wedding.
Topics I Cover:

  • Why less is often more when entertaining guests
  • The truth about florist quotes (and red flags to avoid)
  • Lighting as the unsung hero of ambiance
  • When welcome gifts fall flat (and what makes them memorable)
  • Why too much signage cheapens the atmosphere
  • The importance of letting your planner actually do their job
  • A reality check on negotiating with vendors in high-demand markets
