    Join Kristina Stubblefield and Michael Gaddie as they explore the key differences between a wedding planner, coordinator, and venue manager to help make your dream wedding a reality. While many couples assume that the venue manager will take care of everything, they stress the importance of having a dedicated wedding planner or coordinator. But, don't underestimate the value of a venue manager who knows the location inside out and can handle any hiccups that may arise. Our hosts emphasize the importance of having a knowledgeable and experienced guide to help you throughout the planning process and on your big day. A wedding planner can provide invaluable support, save you time, stress, and money, and make sure that every detail is taken care of. A day-of coordinator can also be helpful for those who only need assistance on their wedding day. Michael and Kristina caution against making assumptions and encourage couples to seek out professional help to ensure a smooth and enjoyable wedding planning experience. They share their experience and knowledge from years of working in the industry, and we invite you to share your own experiences and feedback as well. Don't let the overwhelming task of wedding planning stress you out.

    Kristina Stubblefield, Michael Gaddie, and Sharon Rumsey discussed the importance of not sharing all of one's wedding planning immediately after getting engaged. Sharon explained that while it's great to share the news with family and close friends, it is better to not make a big announcement in places such as work. This is because until wedding planning begins, the guest list is uncertain, and people may think they are invited when they may not be. Furthermore, everyone will have an opinion and this can add to the stress and overwhelm that comes with planning a wedding. The trio advised that wedding planning should be fun, rather than a source of anxiety.   The trio discussed how to enjoy the process of wedding planning and not let it become overwhelming. They suggested that when people ask about the details of the wedding, couples should smile a lot and talk less, saying that they're still working on the details and figuring things out.   Sharon Rumsey and Michael Gaddie discussed the importance of tempering out details when planning a wedding. They advised that it is important to limit the number of people who accompany the couple to try on wedding attire and make other wedding decisions. Sharon noted that it can be helpful to bring a friend or family member for support, but it is important to remember that the wedding should be about the couple's vision and not about what other people may want.  For more information on The Ring The Bling And All The Things Podcast, visit:https://www.ringblingallthethingspodcast.com/Connect with us:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVEfTglDwhfMsdRFL_nFIzwInstagram: https://instagram.com/theringtheblingandallthethingsTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ringblingallthethingsPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/theringtheblingandallthethingsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/theringtheblingandallthethingsThe Ring The Bling And All The Things Resource Platform: https://www.ringblingallthethings.com/Kristina StubblefieldWebsite: https://kristinastubblefield.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kristinastubblefield_TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kristinastubblefieldYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCODw_E9Qq-7f7F9tMZGWWYg/videosFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/kristinastubblefieldpage Michael GaddieWebsite: https://www.lloydsflorist.netFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lloydsflorist/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lloydsflorist/ Sharon RumseyWebsite: https://aperfectplanevents.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/APerfectPlanKentuckiana/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aperfectplaneventskentuckiana/Love this episode?
