In this week's podcast episode of the Venue Rx Podcast, our host Jonathan Aymin sits down with Jaclyn Watson from Jaclyn Watson Events to discuss mental health in the wedding and events industry. Jaclyn shares her background in the industry and her recent experience at a Cater Source + The Special Event conference. They talk about the importance of being open and honest about disabilities, educating clients without scaring them away, and setting boundaries with clients. They also touch on pricing strategies, the pressure to constantly book events, and the need for more transparency and standardization in the industry. Jaclyn emphasizes the importance of prioritizing mental health and self-care so you can ultimately serve your clients better. 

About Our Guest: 

Despite her degree in Psychology and Business Management, Jackie never set out to be a wedding planner. It was a career path that she discovered when she was planning her wedding in Vermont. Jackie was astounded at the lack of personal and customized planning for such an important day in people’s lives. She felt keenly that what was missing was vendors who cared about them and their stories as much as producing a sparkling event.

This eye-opening experience made her realize that a large number of engaged couples were underserved when it came to finding someone who would plan a personalized, luxurious and experience-driven wedding, and Jaclyn Watson Events was born. This was a perfect fit for her years of being in the performing arts and her love of people, design, and production.

Over the decades that Jaclyn Watson Events has served New England, they have gained the reputation of being the wedding planning company that provides unparalleled service and produces events that showcase their client’s dreams. Jackie’s approach to the planning experience is one of relaxation, creativity, and ease. She is an inspired innovator and relentless in her pursuit of refinement and perfection in her designs.
