The wedding industry isn’t what it was five years ago.
Couples are navigating rising costs, endless inspiration online, shifting priorities, and the pressure to create a day that feels authentic without breaking the bank. At the same time, wedding professionals are adapting to inflation, AI, changing client expectations, and a marketplace where pricing and value have become bigger conversations than ever before.
That’s exactly why I sat down with Briana of Luna Soul Events for Part 1 of Episode 18 of the Live Life Being Adored podcast.
Whether you’re planning your wedding, dreaming of becoming a wedding planner, or you’re already working in the event industry, this conversation offers an honest look at what’s happening behind the scenes—and what it takes to thrive in today’s wedding world.
What We Cover in Part 1
In this episode, Briana and I dive into conversations that every couple and event professional should hear, including:
Why wedding planning has changed dramatically in recent years.
The realities of inflation and how it’s affecting wedding budgets.
Why undercharging hurts not only businesses—but couples as well.
How social media and AI are reshaping expectations for planners and creatives.
The importance of understanding the true value behind professional event planning.
What it really takes to build a sustainable business in the wedding industry.
This isn’t just another conversation about pretty weddings. It’s an honest discussion about the business behind the celebrations and why education benefits everyone involved.
Why Couples Should Listen
Hiring vendors isn’t simply checking boxes on a wedding checklist.
Understanding what goes into planning, coordinating, designing, and executing a wedding helps couples make smarter decisions, ask better questions, and invest where it matters most.
When you understand the work happening behind the scenes, you’re better equipped to choose professionals who will protect your investment and create an incredible experience—not just on your wedding day, but throughout the planning process.
Why Wedding Professionals Should Listen
If you’re a planner, florist, photographer, venue manager, DJ, or creative entrepreneur, this episode is for you too.
We discuss the challenges so many professionals are facing today:
Pricing your services with confidence.
Avoiding the trap of competing solely on price.
Educating clients on the value of your expertise.
Building a business that’s sustainable instead of simply staying busy.
These are conversations our industry needs to have more often.
This Is Just the Beginning
Part 1 sets the stage for an even deeper conversation coming in Part 2.
If you’re passionate about weddings, hospitality, entrepreneurship, or simply love hearing honest conversations from industry professionals, you’ll want to follow along.
