Want to coordinate your next “day-of” event like a pro?   I’m willing to bet the answer to that question is a resounding YES! The problem is that without the right tools and resources, you’re feeling a little insecure as a new wedding planner. You know you can knock it out of the park for your couples, but you’re still learning the ropes. You’re worried something might go wrong because of a key detail you missed–or forgot to double check. I’ve been there! I remember standing in the Chick-fil-A parking lot on my lunch break, convincing my first client she could trust me with her wedding. I was elated when she said yes.
