Show notes

This week we continue our series about wedding basics. One of which is transportation.
In this age of Lift and Uber - when is it appropriate to provide transportation? Then who do you invite? And it's got to be expensive? Or is it?
In Oct of 2015, Darah and Joaquin bought Black Pearl Limousine, a company founded in 2004 by a burnt-out owner with rapidly decreasing sales. In the six years since they've been operating the business, they've managed to establish key relationships with local hotels, venues, event, and travel industry leaders, more than double the sales revenue, and have become the go-to for affluent locals who truly value excellent service and professionalism.
But that's not all…restless and looking to capitalize on their passion for service and the customer experience, Darah and Joaquin are in the process of partnering with other like-minded businesses in both South Florida and Costa Rica. Stay tuned…
More about Darah: Darah Zeledon, married 21 years to Joaquin and raising their five children, is a South Florida native. She holds a degree in Cognitive Psychology and International Studies and penned an award-winning memoir entitled Girl with the Crooked Smile.

Behind The Veil: Planners Perspective Sep 29, 2021

Show notes

Planning a wedding is not easy task - but what are the things that you can do to make it easier for you and the planner?
Planning a wedding is never easy! And that is true for both the client, and the planner. When not able to get across your vision, it can create stress and take up precious planning. And what happens when you get a few months into the process and realize that this is not a good match? Either you aren't getting along with your planner, but also as a planner, not getting along with your client!
Megan Gillikin is a veteran wedding planner, podcast host and international speaker dedicated to making life easier for her fellow wedding pros. Her love for mentoring blossomed from her tumultuous entrepreneurship journey: In 2010 Megan purchased her planning business, A Southern Soiree, and revived the struggling brand into one of North Carolina’s most sought-after firms serving a luxury clientele.
Between her own experiences and hearing others’ stories first-hand as the host of the Weddings For Real podcast, Megan now offers new wedding planners an easier way to grow their businesses through her education and community membership, The Planner’s Vault. She has captivated audiences with her warm, personable style as a speaker at events like Wedding MBA, Catersource, WIPA, NACE and others.
You can find Megan online at theplannersvault.com, weddingsforreal.com and asouthernsoiree.com.

BTV - All about Flowers and Centerpieces... Flowers 101 Aug 31, 2021

Show notes

This week, we continue our series about wedding basics. One thing that all weddings have in common is décor. Some of the first questions you'll be asked is "What are your colors?" and "What are your favorite flowers?" But the rules have changed, and more and more couples are choosing to have recyclable options that DON"T include fresh cut flowers.
This week we welcome Nichole Sellars - the owner of CLE Events & Rentals - a company specializing in unique backdrops and décor. Nichole started her business in 2017 after several years with the Seminole Tribe and Casinos, where they leaned on her heavily to come up with truly impressive visuals for their bigger-than-life events. Now, she works with couples to come up with truly unique centerpieces that don't always include flowers!
So what should you be thinking about for your wedding? What are some options that you might not have thought about? And - does cost effective mean having less?
