Wedding planning should feel meaningful, not draining.

In this week’s episode of More Than Just a Wedding, I’m sharing how to protect your energy, set healthy boundaries, and actually enjoy this season of your life—without the burnout.

Here’s what we’ll cover:
• How a simple separate email can save your sanity
• Why setting “wedding work hours” is a game-changer
• Choosing vendors and a bridal party who truly support you
• How to focus on what matters most so your day feels as beautiful as it looks

Your energy sets the tone for everything. Protect it, and the rest will fall into place.

Just a moment of appreciation for my incredible planning team. 💛

The behind-the-scenes stress wedding planners carry on their shoulders is heavier than most could ever comprehend. It’s about managing expectations — both spoken and unspoken. It’s about meeting deadlines, trusting our vendor partners, and protecting our couples’ experiences to the very best of our human capabilities.

This week (and it’s only Tuesday!) has felt especially heavy on my shoulders — but the only reason I can carry the weight is because of the phenomenal women who carry it with me: April, Alicia, Melissa, Adriana, Lauren, and Heather.

I may be the name and face of this company, but I’m backed by a team of true soldiers who weather every storm right alongside me.

And this weekend, we have four incredible weddings to bring to life — which means 16 team members will be out in the field making magic happen. ✨

It’s not easy work, but it’s meaningful, exciting, and deeply fulfilling.

As we head into another full weekend, I’m reminded that the weight feels lighter when it’s shared — and the wins feel even sweeter when they’re celebrated together.

Here’s to another weekend of making magic, together. 🤍

Her dedication and grace have earned the trust not only of our couples but also of some of the most respected venues in the industry—a true reflection of her professionalism, strength, and quiet brilliance.

We are so proud to have you on our team, Adriana, and feel honored to celebrate your incredible work and amazing spirit today.

Cheers to you today!✨️

If you're feeling overwhelmed with the planning process, here are three ways to regain control:

1) Review Your Wedding Checklist

Sometimes, simply checking items off a list can be incredibly reassuring. It’s a tangible way to see your progress and remind yourself—you’re getting things done!

2) Consult an Expert

If you're unsure about something, ask a professional—even if it's outside their specialty. Vendors work closely with each other and often have insight beyond their specific role.

For example, if you're uncertain about some of the activities your DJ suggests, ask your photographer. They’ve seen countless receptions unfold and can offer honest feedback on what works best.

3) Take a Minute

If something doesn’t feel right, trust your gut. You should never feel pressured into making decisions on the spot. Need time to think through "First Look" vs. "Traditional Timeline"? That’s okay!

Your vendors should respect your decision-making process and give you the space you need.

You’ve got this! And remember—this is your day. Make it yours.

Synergy.
When a planner works with vendors they know and trust, it creates incredible synergy—not just on the wedding day, but throughout the entire planning process.

Trust.
A planner relies on the full team—venue, photographer, florist, DJ, and more—to execute flawlessly. When something goes wrong, it often falls on the planner to fix it in real time. This is why trust in your vendors is so essential: it reduces stress behind the scenes and ensures the day runs smoothly.

Shared Style.
Planners choose vendors whose artistic vision, communication style, and experience align with their own. When styles mesh, the result is a cohesive, beautiful aesthetic that elevates the entire event.

Great partnerships make great weddings. ✨

I was chatting with a couple recently who were puzzled by the wildly different pricing they’d seen from wedding vendors—and honestly, I get it. On the surface, it can feel confusing, even frustrating. But here’s the thing: the numbers always tell a story.

Every vendor’s pricing reflects not just the service, but the experience, the time behind the scenes, the expertise, and yes… the passion poured into every little detail.

It’s also important to remember that every couple prioritizes their vendors differently. For some, photography is the most important investment. For others, it’s entertainment, florals, or food. What matters most is aligning your budget with your values—choosing the vendors that mean the most to you.

That’s where the magic happens. Because weddings are about so much more than dollars; they’re about the moments that last a lifetime. ✨

And just like that, our fall wedding season has officially begun!

In Arizona, there’s this unique pause in the wedding industry—once we wrap up in late May, everything slows until mid-September. Then suddenly… it’s game on from September through May.

This summer break was such a gift. It gave me the chance to dig deep into the business and tackle so many projects with my incredible team—from refining our service collections, giving our website a glow-up, and revising contracts, to creating even more helpful resources for our couples (we’re even refreshing our client checklist right now).

But stepping back into wedding season this past Saturday reminded me of the true magic. Lead Planner April brought Marah & Justin’s extraordinary day to life, and with it came the spark, the energy, and the excitement of a brand new season.

Here’s to all the love stories ahead—let’s go.
