Behind The Veil

This week we welcome Tara Horner with the Boca Lago Country Club and Robin Ernst, Photographer and Owner of Sand And Sea Studios

The light at the end of the tunnel is right there!  We can all see it, but now we have to be more careful than ever.  Both as business owners and as brides.  Listen and learn to many of the trials and tribulations that these two companies have gone through, their recent successes, and their hopes for tomorrow.  Added bonus - Robin Ernst is also a bride getting married in just two months.  Her perspective truly reflects what so many brides out there have been dealing with.

Today's show was filled with technical glitches which are hardly noticeable because today's guests are all planners!   There are no other human beings in the world that know how to roll with a situation like planners - and today's show proves it!

This includes when having to plan a wedding during Covid.  How much responsibility do  we as planners take on and how do we help our clients create an event that is as safe as possible?

Note from Host:  There is a 30 second video clip near the beginning of the show that provided visuals for our YouTube audience about the last wedding expo.  The show is recorded live, and we don't like to edit any part of it so it's truly authentic.  The video showed that everyone at the wedding expo was wearing masks and being socially distant.
