    Dec 30 2024

    Text the Wedding Planning Hotline

    Today, we're going to explore that "what's next" feeling you might be having after you've booked your "main" wedding vendors. It's a huge accomplishment to have found and booked those vendors, and as a wedding planner, I know that it can bring a HUGE sigh of relief feeling like "the hard part is over". However, it's important to remember that there are still a million little things to do before your wedding day. So often, couples feel like they're "done" once they've booked their vendors, but the reality is that there is still a lot of work to be done. In today's episode, we're going to dive into exactly what to do after booking your main wedding vendors.

  • 173 | Eco-Chic Weddings: How to Plan a Sustainably Catered Wedding with Sebastian Lysen
    Dec 16 2024

    Text the Wedding Planning Hotline

    Today, we're diving into a topic that's incredibly important, especially for anyone planning a wedding or event: sustainability in catering. Sustainability often feels like one of those buzzwords we hear everywhere, but what does it really mean in the context of weddings and events? What does it actually take to make catering sustainable? Are there trade-offs or limitations we should consider?

    To help us explore these questions and unpack the myths and realities of sustainable catering, I’m thrilled to be joined by Sebastian, the operations director at Purslane—a catering company dedicated to making events both delicious and eco-friendly. He was an amazing guest, and I can't wait for you all to dive in.
