Here at the ND Wedding Experience Bridal Show we strive to provide our brides and grooms (and their guests) access to ALL elements that they will need for not only their their upcoming wedding, but also their futures. We are excited to welcome Amber with Revolution Financial Management to the show!

Here is a little more information from Amber. Be sure to stop by their booth and find out more!

Marriage marks the beginning of a shared life, and one of the most crucial elements of this shared life is financial stability and security. Here are a few reasons why financial planning is essential for newlyweds like yourself:
Setting Shared Goals: Financial planning allows you and your partner to align your goals and aspirations for the future. Whether it's buying a home, starting a family, or traveling the world together, having a clear financial plan will help you work towards these shared objectives.
Building a Strong Foundation: Just as you're building a foundation for your marriage, it's crucial to build a solid financial foundation as well. This includes creating a budget, managing debt, and establishing an emergency fund to handle unexpected expenses that may arise.
Open Communication: Money can be a sensitive topic for many couples, but effective financial planning encourages open and honest communication about your finances. By discussing your financial goals, concerns, and priorities early on, you can strengthen your relationship and avoid potential conflicts in the future.
Preparing for the Unexpected: Life is unpredictable, and having a financial plan in place can provide you with peace of mind during challenging times. Whether it's illness, job loss, or other unforeseen circumstances, being financially prepared will help you weather any storm together.
To assist you in your financial planning journey, I'd like to offer you a complimentary consultation with our team of financial experts. We can help you create a customized financial plan tailored to your unique goals and circumstances, ensuring that you and your partner are well-equipped to navigate the financial aspects of married life.

On behalf of the ND Wedding Experience we would like to announce to everyone our keynote speaker for the upcoming 16th annual fall show. Please give a warm ND WELCOME to Terrica!
Stay tuned as VIP and General Admission tickets will be on sale soon! Enjoy your weekend!

Spreading her metropolitan style throughout the low country as an award-winning event planner, Terrica has been creating exquisite weddings and events in the Golden Isles area for the past nineteen years. Her weddings and expertise have been featured in The Knot, Reader’s Digest, Martha Stewart Weddings, HLN tv, Style Me Pretty, PeopleTV, and many others.

Combining that experience with humor, compassion, and hustle, she travels the globe teaching at workshops, retreats, and conferences. Known as the Motherhustler, through her educational hub HustleQuarters, she has helped over 4300 wedding professionals confidently increase their pricing, perfect their sales process, and create dynamic back offices that help their businesses run like well-oiled machines.

A Speaker of the Year nominee for the National Association of Catering and Events ONE Award, Terrica's engagements have taken her around the world speaking at IADWP, Catersource, Wedding MBA, Destination Wedding Planners Congress, NACE National, The Coterie Retreat, and a host of local chapters and professional groups in the US. A popular educator for The Knot and Wedding Wire, she launched her new industry education systems, Wedding Pro University, and Wedding Pro Workshop, to provide niche and nuanced education that help wedding professionals implement and build their businesses quickly and efficiently.

Terrica loves being connected to those in the wedding industry, hosting the “She Doesn’t Even Go Here” podcast while being a guest on many others such as VenueRX, Rock My Weddings, The Power of Purpose, Weddings for Real and more. Additionally, she is also a passionate leader within the industry, spearheading the Unity Through Community initiative to make the wedding industry more diverse and inclusive, and sits on the advisory board for Fellowship for Change, a program from WeddingPro to elevate historically underrepresented demographics in the industry.

As an avid lover of cake and champagne, you'll find her at home in the Golden Isles with her four kids and disgruntled cat. When not entertaining family and friends, she’s frequently binging on RuPaul’s Drag Race and Game of Thrones (while hate-watching season 8).
