Hannah Roze Founder of Plannerd! The Wedding Planning App for Modern Couples and Wedding Pros!Say goodbye to wedding planning chaos and hello to@plannerdinc!

Forget Reviews—This App Lets You Ask Real Couples What Actually Went DownTired of reading boring reviews and generic star ratings? Elizabeth Winter is revolutionizing wedding planning with Ivorie, an app that ditches traditional reviews for something far more valuable: real conversations between couples.After experiencing her own frustration searching for vendors for her wedding last year, Elizabeth created a platform that connects newly engaged couples with those who've already been through it. Instead of scrolling through 200-word reviews you're not sure you can trust, Ivorie lets you have honest, private conversations about what went right—and what went sideways—at real weddings.This radical departure from the big review sites is gaining serious traction. Couples are choosing "debriefing" over reviews, and the results speak for themselves. Join us as we talk with Elizabeth about why wedding planning's best kept secret is simply talking to couples who've been there.Join the conversation. We love your questions, comments, and requests!
