What's your favorite part of working with your clients on the planning, design, and/or coordination of their wedding?

I love designing with my clients, but we all know design needs great logistics. Honestly, the entire process from start to finish, seeing it all come to life, is by far my favorite. It makes all the hard work worthwhile, especially when the entire vendor team nails it. And of course, I also love getting to know my couples and what makes their wedding day unique to them!

Here's what Deanna Wheeler has to say about The Planner's Playbook…

The Planner's Playbook, has helped me tremendously with making a profit through vendor partnerships, discounts, and niching down my design services. I get giddy whenever I open a new Playbook! My design process is much more elevated, and the community is amazing. I am a much better business owner and cannot thank Candice enough.

I feel like The Planner's Playbook is the “secret sauce” to helping me develop professionally and helping our business stand out among others in my market. Also, entrepreneurship is a lonely place. Having like-minded people in similar spaces as you is extremely encouraging and invaluable!
