I made my way in this industry alone...but you don't have to
When I switched careers from international development to wedding planning, I had no playbook … no mentor to guide me.
I jumped straight into the wedding planning world completely alone, feeling my way forward through trial and error. I had to figure out how to appeal to my ideal clients, how to instill trust when I hadn’t yet built a portfolio, how to value my work.
Looking back on those years of growth, I wish I’d had someone to lead me, to give me a roadmap. As wedding planners, we give so much of ourselves to our couples — and I wouldn’t ever change that — but I’ve learned we also need to make space for our own needs and betterment.
Just because I navigated this industry on my own doesn’t mean others should. Sharing what I’ve learned over the years of planning weddings is my way to show up for others in this world. I’d love to show up for you too.
