Summary

Bridechilla went LIVE at The Elliot in Tremont, and we tackled one of the biggest questions couples ask: what’s the real difference between a wedding planner and a venue coordinator? Leah is joined on stage by founder Stephanie Ridgely (The Elliot) and wedding planner Brandi Fisher (All Events Planned) for a candid, clarity-packed conversation about roles, boundaries, expectations, and the myths that cause major planning confusion. Get ready for plenty of “Ohhh, NOW I get it!” moments as we break down: What each role truly handles Where responsibilities overlap (and where they don’t) What couples should never assume How the right support team prevents day-of chaos Find the Elliot on Instagram: http://instagram.com/theelliotcle Find Brandi on Instagram: http://instagram.com/alleventsplanned This episode is sponsored by BriteCo!
