Happy Valentine's Day, lovers! Or should we say ... anti-Valentine's Day? On this episode we are covering a topic that doesn't get a lot of love: What to do when a client wants (or needs) to postpone or cancel their wedding. There are a variety of reasons why a client might need to cancel their event, and none of them are good.
