The Relationship That Changes Everything: Your Wedding Planner Bestie
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.
