Join Kristina Stubblefield and Michael Gaddie as they explore the key differences between a wedding planner, coordinator, and venue manager to help make your dream wedding a reality. While many couples assume that the venue manager will take care of everything, they stress the importance of having a dedicated wedding planner or coordinator. But, don't underestimate the value of a venue manager who knows the location inside out and can handle any hiccups that may arise. Our hosts emphasize the importance of having a knowledgeable and experienced guide to help you throughout the planning process and on your big day.

A wedding planner can provide invaluable support, save you time, stress, and money, and make sure that every detail is taken care of. A day-of coordinator can also be helpful for those who only need assistance on their wedding day. Michael and Kristina caution against making assumptions and encourage couples to seek out professional help to ensure a smooth and enjoyable wedding planning experience. They share their experience and knowledge from years of working in the industry, and we invite you to share your own experiences and feedback as well. Don't let the overwhelming task of wedding planning stress you out. Tune in and learn how to make your dream wedding a reality with the help of our experts!
