Do you think your vendors are a perfect match for you? As a wedding planner, I take years to cultivate relationships with a variety of wedding pros so I can curate the best vendor team possible for my clients. But what if you’re an engaged couple just starting out? In today’s episode, I talk about the importance of finding the right vendors for you and everything you should consider when choosing a vendor – and it’s not just the price. This is a super helpful and informative episode guys and I think you're going to really enjoy it.

The Highlights

In today's episode, I interview Samie Roberts. Samie is a wedding planner and is also the co-founder of Bustld, an online wedding resource that matches couples with the right vendor for them. 

At Bustld, Samie provides creative and industry insight alongside operational expertise. Her background at a top PR agency in New York City provided her the knowledge and know-how on how to properly design and execute large events. She used that knowledge to launch one of the top wedding planning companies in Charlotte, NC six years ago. She combines all this knowledge in her passion for bringing wedding inspiration and knowledge to couples at Bustld.
