We’re Wedding Planners, Not Catch-Alls

* Put contact info on contracts — planners are not detectives. * Assumptions-wedding planners are not the wedding-day catch-all. Respect role boundaries. * Common courtesy and respect.  * Vendors should do their “one job” well — be prepared, be communicative, and collaborate. * Respect vendor meals — if the client pays for it, vendors should get it as promised. * Collaboration > competition: we’re all part of the same dream team. * Donate to the podcast to help cover hosting / editing fees or bless me with a Espresso for my late nights!
