41 | The 3 Biggest Mistakes New Planners Make (And How to Avoid Them)

In today’s episode, I’m getting real about the early mistakes I made as a wedding planner—mistakes that cost me time, money, and a whole lot of stress. I’m sharing these lessons so that you don’t have to learn the hard way like I did! Whether you're a planner or not, you'll be able to apply these lessons to your own wedding business.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
✨ Why undercharging can lead to burnout and resentment—and how to confidently raise your rates.
✨ The unexpected nightmare of offering partial planning and why I swore off this service.
✨ How failing to set clear boundaries can lead to client overreach and exhaustion (and how to prevent it).

Whether you’re a new wedding planner or just looking to fine-tune your business, these insights will help you avoid common pitfalls and build a more sustainable, thriving career.
