The Reality of Balancing Wedding Planning with Personal Life: A Candid Look at the Industry and Parenting Challenges


Listen Later

Strap in as we pull back the curtain on the wedding and event industry, offering a raw and honest look at the personal impact and challenges that come with this demanding career. Ever wondered why we're often absent from social gatherings and family milestones? It all boils down to our commitment to our clients and the events we've been tasked to organize. But, fret not, we're here to share some insights on how to maintain a balance between work and personal life, and also, how to explain our absence to our loved ones.

Parenting and planning - two roles that can be incredibly demanding. Add to that the guilt of missing out on quality time with your kids due to work commitments, it's a tough balancing act. But, we believe it can be done. We delve into our own experiences and offer advice on leaning on your support system, setting boundaries, and giving yourself a well-deserved break when things get overwhelming. Remember, it's all about the harmony between work and family, and we're here to help you strike that balance.

We wrap up our discussion with an exploration of the importance of flexibility. The event industry may be unforgiving, but it's crucial that we're running the show and not the other way around - a lesson we've learned the hard way. We also touch upon the Certified Wedding Planner Society, shedding light on the opportunities it offers to both industry veterans and newcomers. So join us, as we navigate this challenging yet rewarding career, one event at a time.
