What if the secret to thriving in wedding planning isn't just about serving clients—it's about finding your people?
In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on one of the most powerful (and underrated) relationships in the wedding industry: the planner-to-planner friendship that actually saves your business—and your sanity.
Joining the COO of the CWP Society, Krisy Thomas, are Certified Wedding Planners Hailey Beard and Amanda Borrero, who met at CWP Society Certification conference, and built something rare: a genuine alliance where they assist on each other's weddings, exchange honest feedback, and serve as each other's emergency backup when chaos strikes.
You'll discover:
- Why having an "in case of emergency" planner with actual access and authority protects your couples (and your reputation)
- The phone calls that happen after hard weddings, and why that permission to rest matters more than you think
- Their refreshingly direct take on "community over competition": there are more couples than any of us can serve, and not every couple is your couple
Feeling stuck, new, or shut out of your local scene? They share the playbook: send the DM, show up to open houses, ask for introductions, keep showing up. And if your market feels closed? Go global—your planner bestie might be three states away.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
