  • On Wedding Planning with Brooke Weidenfeld of Sunbursts & Stardust

    Beth does not typically plan weddings, but when she does, she hopes that Brooke Weidenfeld is her partner in the endeavor! A Type A+ person in her own right and one of Beth's favorite co-working buddies, Brooke is the owner of Sunbursts & Stardust where she produces weddings and creative social events "for the bold, unique, stylish and starry-eyed."


    In this episode, Brooke shares her Type A+ tips for planning your wedding, ensuring you won't have FOMO on your next vacation, and the ways having Type A+ anxiety contributes to her success.


    About Brooke:

    Brooke’s obsession with weddings began as a wide-eyed little girl ogling over Disney princesses and their gowns. Fast forward to high school, and the princess obsession turned into many a-nights being way too invested in Say Yes to the Dress. During her college career at Penn State, Brooke got her first internship in the events industry and immediately fell in love with the craft. This passion for events mixed with her lifelong enthusiasm for design, styling, fashion, and all things beautiful made Brooke’s career path a no-brainer.

    When she’s not planning a wedding or dreaming up her next styled shoot, you can find Brooke watching Bravo, drinking iced coffee, listening to Taylor Swift, making sarcastic jokes, or traveling the world.
