We aren't sure if you can tell but baby, these wedding vendors have lost their mind. We get it, the pandemic has been rough on them, but that is no excuse to ghost your clients. We talked with Duane and Irene Tyndale about how wedding vendors can elevate their client experience to keep their brides and grooms happy.

Enjoy this OG 2020 episode - When you get engaged, you have no idea how much anything costs. You might see vendor breakdowns and average wedding cost articles but they are all a LIE. If you were thinking your 150 person wedding was going to be under $30,000, you are mistaken! We talked to my wedding team, Leneille Moon of Special Event Factory and Courtney Jackson of The Charming Details about realistic wedding budgets. You NEED to listen to this.

DIY weddings had their moment years ago but some of us still want to DIY parts of our wedding to save some coins. Well, we talked to Amy from Flower Moxie about DIYing your wedding, the ROI you actually get from doing it yourself, and other considerations! As always, pull out your pen.

The wedding industry has not only failed Black weddings, they have barely recognized Black gay relationships, especially within the Black lesbian community. We're guilty of this, too. We talked with Ty Sintrell from True Love Navy Co. about Black queer love is frequently removed from the conversation, even when many of the vendors we admire identify as lesbian, gay, or queer. This episode is unlike most of our episodes but we hope you enjoyed the conversation.

Imposter syndrome can also take place during the wedding planning process. Imagine, you're engaged and planning a wedding in a pandemic while seeing more expensive and loftier weddings every time you check Instagram. You may have doubts --- and we're discussing all of those feelings today.
