February: A Month of Education
Lately, we have been hearing from many of our peers sharing their confusion and frustration with alcohol policies and planner pricing. So, let’s get the conversation started.
Business owners NEVER stop learning. It’s part of the job description and sometimes…. those lessons really suck, especially when it comes to costly mistakes. With over a decade in the wedding industry and two decades in marketing and design Jonnathan and I have had our fair share of painful lessons. We’ve made it a mandatory practice in our businesses that we always debrief, review the actions and often the inactions that led to the negative outcome, recognize areas of growth and determine behavioral and system practices that must change/shift and be tweaked or hell…totally overhauled! And fellow planners, venue owners, catering and bartenders - our job description requires us to be educated and our clients trust that we are informed and confident in guiding them through their wedding planning experience.
February is becoming a month of education!
Best part - it’s free, it’s casual, it’s open discussion and information that will encourage more confidence in all of our businesses! That anxiety and stress you’re feeling. The remedy is knowledge. Empower yourself with facts, insight and you’ll head into this wedding season more confident.

“The beverage experience sets the tone for the celebration; elevating guest enjoyment, enhancing the atmosphere, and creating unforgettable moments with every sip. It’s too integral to the celebration to NOT adequately plan the bar and a BIG mistake to ignore the rules and regulations. Informed planning NOW, avoids serious consequences come wedding day.”

What this is NOT:
A place to vent or criticize competitors
