Essential Video Diary

Kate and Daxx's Modern Gothic and Romantic Red Wedding at Fontainebleau Las Vegas by Las Vegas Wedding Planner Andrea Eppolito. This breathtaking Las Vegas luxury wedding was designed as a fully immersive, monochromatic red experience, showcasing the power of intentional, high-end wedding design. Floor-to-ceiling crimson draping, thousands of custom red roses, crystal candelabras, and sculptural floral installations transformed the ballroom into a dramatic and opulent environment. A mirrored aisle reflected candlelight and petals, creating a cinematic ceremony moment, while velvet-wrapped reception tables, elevated floral centerpieces, and curated lounge seating delivered depth, contrast, and sophistication. Every detail was custom-designed to create a cohesive, emotionally resonant atmosphere that felt bold, romantic, and unforgettable. As a Las Vegas luxury wedding planner and event designer, Andrea Eppolito specializes in creating extraordinary, never-before, never-again celebrations for discerning couples who value artistry, personalization, and world-class execution. This gallery showcases the level of detail, production, and creative vision required to produce a truly bespoke wedding experience. From conceptual design and custom installations to lighting, florals, and spatial transformation, every element was intentionally layered to create an environment that transported guests and elevated the celebration beyond the expected. This wedding exemplifies modern luxury wedding design—immersive, cohesive, and deeply personal. It reflects the expertise required to transform a blank ballroom into a fully realized, high-end wedding environment that celebrates life, luxury, and above all else, love.

Why do custom weddings cost so much more—and why should they? In today’s world, beautiful weddings are everywhere. Pinterest, Instagram, TikTok, and wedding blogs have made “pretty” accessible to everyone. But pretty is no longer the differentiator. It’s the baseline. The true difference between a standard wedding and a never-before, never-again luxury wedding lies in custom design. In this video, luxury wedding planner and event designer Andrea Eppolito breaks down the real reasons why bespoke wedding experiences command a higher investment—and why they deliver extraordinary value in return. You’ll learn: • Why custom wedding design requires significantly more creative development • The hidden hours of planning, collaboration, renderings, and refinement behind luxury weddings • How risk, innovation, and originality impact ultra-luxury wedding pricing • Why custom weddings are not products—but living, immersive works of art • What couples are truly investing in when they choose bespoke wedding experiences True luxury isn’t about copying a trend. It’s about creating something that has never existed before and will never exist again. It’s about vision, intentionality, expertise, and the courage to build something completely original. Whether you are a couple planning a high-end wedding or a wedding professional serving luxury clients, this video will help you understand the mindset, process, and investment behind custom wedding production at the highest level. Because luxury isn’t about more. It’s about meaning. It’s about exclusivity. And most importantly, it’s about creating an experience that is unmistakably yours. Andrea Eppolito is a Las Vegas-based luxury wedding planner known for designing extraordinary experiences for extraordinary lives, celebrating life, luxury, and above all else, love.

If you call yourself “luxury,” this video is your mirror. In an industry where everyone claims the title, how do you know if your brand, your work, and your presence truly embody luxury—or if you’re just using the word? In this episode, I break down the five qualities every true luxury wedding professional shares. These are the patterns I’ve observed over 20+ years producing multi-day, multi-million-dollar celebrations across five-star resorts, private estates, and destinations around the world. We’re talking about more than beautiful work. Pretty is the baseline. Luxury lives in how you show up, how you communicate, how you curate your digital presence, how you share your life with intention, and how you price yourself outside of the market. Inside this video, you’ll learn: • Why luxury pros lead with a singular, signature skill • How curated digital real estate attracts high-end clients • Why messaging must move beyond “pretty” into meaning and emotion • How to share your personal life with boundaries that build trust • Why true luxury brands never compete on price If you’re a wedding planner, photographer, designer, florist, filmmaker, venue, or creative professional who wants to elevate your brand, attract higher-end clients, and operate in the rarefied air of true luxury, this is for you. This is not about being busier. This is about being better. Explore more resources, blogs, courses, and my book The Principles of Luxury below.

In this episode, luxury wedding planner and business educator Andrea Eppolito speaks directly to wedding professionals who are feeling the shift in the market and asking the wrong question: “How do I book more weddings in 2026?” The real question isn’t how to be busier — it’s how to book better. More aligned clients. Higher-quality projects. Work that protects your brand, your energy, and your future. With over 15 years of experience producing high-end, destination, and ultra-luxury weddings, Andrea breaks down the five foundational shifts every wedding planner, designer, and creative must make to attract the right clients in a changing economy. You’ll learn why clarity builds trust more than transparency, how to audit your website so it actually sells your value, why ongoing education is non-negotiable for staying relevant in 2026, how emotional currency and relationships become your greatest referral engine, and why learning to say no is one of the most powerful business moves you will ever make. This is a masterclass in brand positioning, client psychology, marketing for wedding professionals, and building a sustainable, profitable luxury wedding business. If you are a wedding planner, event designer, florist, photographer, venue owner, or creative entrepreneur who wants to elevate your brand, attract higher-end clients, and stop settling for misaligned work, this video will change how you approach your business in 2026 and beyond. Celebrating life, luxury, and above all else, love.
