About this episode

1035. Host Laura Adams sits down with Plannie founder Annie Lee to expose the most common financial pitfalls couples make. Annie breaks down the "macro approach" to wedding design, explaining how to test-drive a planner and focus your budget for a luxury feel at a fraction of the cost. 


Key takeaways:


  • Why overinvesting in a wedding venue is the most common budget mistake.
  • How to focus on event expenses that are impactful and instantly set the mood for guests.
  • Why locking in the lowest number of guests on catering and venue contracts is wise.
  • Leave a buffer in your budget for overlooked expenses, such as administrative fees, taxes, and tips, which can drive your final bill up by 30%.
  • How Plannie’s hourly expert consultants can help tackle budget creation, contract reviews, day-of timeline coordination, and much more.
  • Working with a Plannie consultant on one or two small hourly assignments (like a venue search or budget review) to test their communication, speed, and compatibility is wise before making a full commitment to work together.
