Tune in for the most common wedding weekend planning mistakes I see couples make as they formulate the details of a multi-day, multi-event wedding celebration.

In this episode, we highlight 6 common planning mistakes, including:

  • Feeling intimidated by the COST of hosting multiple events,
  • Trying to accommodate ALL of your guests perfectly (spoiler alert - it's not possible, so don't even try!)
  • Failing to consider the endless creative possibilities for food & drinks before committing to an overpriced & underwhelming caterer,
  • Not communicating clearly with your guests before, during, and after your wedding weekend experience,
  • Getting OVERWHELMED and losing sight of your most important priorities,
  • Relying on a DOC to organize and manage things that are not actually their responsibility

Today's highlighted planning mistakes come from couples who I've worked with inside Wedding Weekend By Design, my 6-STEP PLANNING FRAMEWORK that's incredibly easy to follow, and works with any budget, any timeline, and any hosting format.
