    We are so IGCITED to be bringing you a new Podcast Series all around how to REdesign your relationships! We are so excited to share with you why we have changed our podcast.

     

    Each week we discuss topics surrounding relationships with a tangible, current, and forward approach. We dive deep and do not shy away from keeping the topic of your interpersonal relationships real. From business associates, acquaintances, to the most intimate relationships we cover it all. You will laugh, learn, and be inspired by our approach, conversation, and amazing guests. Some of the relationships we will cover are inner, partner & spouse, children, family, friends, work place, toxic relationships & so much more! 

     

    "You can’t just give up on someone because the situation is not ideal. Great relationships are not great because they have no problems. They are great because both people care enough about the other person to find a way to make it work."

  • Episode 35: How to Make Your Wedding Venue Stand Out in the Wedding Industry with Kristin Binford Venue Owner and Venue Coach

    In this episode, we chat with Kristin Binford about how as a venue owner you can be appealing to engaged couples and stand out in the wedding industry. Some key takeaways from Kristin:

    > Show your pricing online

    > Ask your clients the hard questions

    > Clients don’t want to be sold to. Help your clients understand their budgets and how what your venue offers will meet their needs

    > Clients can fall in love with a space, but they need to fall in love with the people they are going to work with too.

    > Not every couple needs the same things. How can you meet each couples needs?

     

    Kristin is the Managing Partner of Haue Valley, a sought after wedding and event venue just west of St. Louis. She has been in the wedding industry for nearly ten years and has also served as a business coach to hundreds of wedding venue owners across the US and around the world.

  • Episode 34: Wedding Planning Guide | What Wedding Experience Is Best For BOTH of You

    In this episode, we are chatting about what wedding experience is going to be best for you and being open about all the changes that are going on constantly in the wedding business due to the pandemic. 

     

    We talk about why the option for a pop-up wedding or elopement might be the better option right now. Your time and guest count are going to be significantly different compared to a traditional wedding. You may consider this could be a better experience than you expect. Sometimes smaller can be better as it is more intimate and you can interact and engage with the wedding party more than you might have at a big wedding!

     

    If you are still wanting a traditional wedding, we talk about why it might be a good idea to still wait until the end of this year or wait until early 2023. Maybe it’s a time to enjoy your engagement longer if you want to wait for the full experience. Really we just want to help you weigh your options during a time that is beautiful for you and your partner but also a tricky time to be getting married with constant changes with pandemic procedures.

    One of our favorite things about this podcast is updating you with the latest and greatest on what’s going on in the wedding industry. It’s crazy how the last 18 months have changed the way we shop for weddings. Transparency and pricing are more important now than ever!

    • Photos from real weddings
