Essential Video Diary

How do you manage catastrophe—in business and in life? In this episode, I share the story of being in Hawaii during a tsunami warning and how the same principles of preparation, calm decision-making, and adaptability apply to weddings and events. From natural disasters to last-minute client changes, the way we respond to chaos defines the outcome. ✨ A must-listen for wedding pros, entrepreneurs, and anyone who wants to learn how to lead with clarity when the unexpected strikes. #WeddingPlanner #BusinessLeadership #CrisisManagement #AndreaEppolito

Your contract is your business speaking for you. In this video, I walk you through the must-have clauses that every wedding planning contract should include. A great contract is more than just legal protection — it’s a roadmap for you, your clients, and your business. When done right, it creates confidence on both sides and sets the foundation for a successful relationship. Some of the key points I cover include: Overview of Client Desires – How to outline broad strokes (season, guest count, priorities, color palette, level of production) so expectations are crystal clear. Planner’s Process – Detailing the unbreakable steps you follow, from venue and vendor selection to design and execution. Client Responsibilities – Ensuring couples understand their role in communication, payments, and decision-making. Cancellation & Termination Clauses – Protecting yourself and the client when plans change. Intellectual Property & Social Media – Who owns images, designs, and how content can be shared. Non-Disparagement & Confidentiality – Safeguarding your reputation and protecting client privacy. Whether you’re a planner, vendor, or client, this video will help you understand how contracts serve as both shield and structure in the wedding industry. ✨ Celebrating life, luxury, and above all else, love. #WeddingPlanner #Contracts #WeddingBusiness #andreaeppolito MY SERVICES Luxury Wedding Planning: https://www.andreaeppolito.com Wedding Business Consulting: https://www.andreaeppolito.com/consulting Speaking & Appearances: https://www.andreaeppolito.com/speaking Online Education: https://courses.andreaeppolito.com/ Are you a Wedding Professional?  My book, Redefining Your Wedding Business can help you learn how to redefine your own business, and possibly even your own market.  https://shop.andreaeppolito.com/books   Thinking of Starting Your Own Wedding Planning Business?  The Business Blueprint for Wedding Planners is a four-hour “crash course” that I designed to help you start your very own Wedding Planning Business.  It is also used by many Wedding Planners as a “check-up” to ensure that their businesses have maximized their potential and become profitable as quickly as possible.    https://shop.andreaeppolito.com/bbwp   Do you have a Wedding Planning Business already and feel “stuck”?  I created the Wedding Planner Master Class because my business was once there.  I was busy, but I wasn’t doing the business I wanted.  The Wedding Planner Master Class is a ten-module series designed to help you breakthrough and transform the business you want into the business you WANT!  https://shop.andreaeppolito.com/wpmc   YOUTUBE TIPS   *Grow Your Wedding Planning Business* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_66F9DDLtg   *Three Tips to Starting Your Own Wedding Planning Business* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EaFGc-dOxs   *Wedding Planner Masterclass Review* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WnUZVlcyNo   *How to Attract High-End Clients to Your Wedding Business* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WnUZVlcyNo *How to Survive a Recession & Come Out Stronger* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrk1r9oxxrw   *Should You Expand Your Wedding Planning Business* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXAy6vzHkyk   *Top 10 Apps Your Wedding Business Needs* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0oQarH2BE0 RECOMMENDED TOOLS   Ontraport: https://ontraport.com/?orid=833939  Kajabi: https://app.kajabi.com/r/v22qtLrX/t/2mizwaxl   LET’S GET SOCIAL   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/andreaeppolito Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andreaeppolito Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/andreaeppolito Twitter: https://twitter.com/andreaeppolito LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreaeppolito TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/TfJJ5X/   Listen to My Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/andrea-eppolito-celebrating-life-luxury-above-all-else/id1353180121 Read My Blog: https://www.andeaeppolito.com/blog   NOTE: This description contains affiliate links that allow you to find the items mentioned in this video and support the channel at no cost to you.

Meet the Culinary Team at Fontainebleau Las Vegas with Destination Wedding Planner Andrea Eppolito

In this video, I share why managing a seven-figure wedding budget requires more than just taste and style — it demands strategy, foresight, and discipline. Money alone doesn’t guarantee luxury; it’s how that money is allocated, layered, and leveraged that transforms an event into a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I’ll break down the difference between spending lavishly and spending wisely, and why true luxury is about intentional design, not just expensive decisions. Whether you’re a planner, photographer, venue, or vendor, understanding how to maximize value at this level is essential to serving today’s ultra-high-net-worth couples. ✨ Celebrating life, luxury, and above all else, love. 📌 Subscribe for more insights on luxury weddings, design, and the business of extraordinary experiences. #LuxuryWeddings #WeddingPlanner #MillionDollarWedding #AndreaEppolito MY SERVICES Luxury Wedding Planning: https://www.andreaeppolito.com Wedding Business Consulting: https://www.andreaeppolito.com/consulting Speaking & Appearances: https://www.andreaeppolito.com/speaking Online Education: https://courses.andreaeppolito.com/ Are you a Wedding Professional?  My book, Redefining Your Wedding Business can help you learn how to redefine your own business, and possibly even your own market.  https://shop.andreaeppolito.com/books   Thinking of Starting Your Own Wedding Planning Business?  The Business Blueprint for Wedding Planners is a four-hour “crash course” that I designed to help you start your very own Wedding Planning Business.  It is also used by many Wedding Planners as a “check-up” to ensure that their businesses have maximized their potential and become profitable as quickly as possible.    https://shop.andreaeppolito.com/bbwp   Do you have a Wedding Planning Business already and feel “stuck”?  I created the Wedding Planner Master Class because my business was once there.  I was busy, but I wasn’t doing the business I wanted.  The Wedding Planner Master Class is a ten-module series designed to help you breakthrough and transform the business you want into the business you WANT!  https://shop.andreaeppolito.com/wpmc   YOUTUBE TIPS   *Grow Your Wedding Planning Business* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_66F9DDLtg   *Three Tips to Starting Your Own Wedding Planning Business* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EaFGc-dOxs   *Wedding Planner Masterclass Review* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WnUZVlcyNo   *How to Attract High-End Clients to Your Wedding Business* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WnUZVlcyNo *How to Survive a Recession & Come Out Stronger* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrk1r9oxxrw   *Should You Expand Your Wedding Planning Business* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXAy6vzHkyk   *Top 10 Apps Your Wedding Business Needs* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0oQarH2BE0 RECOMMENDED TOOLS   Ontraport: https://ontraport.com/?orid=833939  Kajabi: https://app.kajabi.com/r/v22qtLrX/t/2mizwaxl   LET’S GET SOCIAL   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/andreaeppolito Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andreaeppolito Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/andreaeppolito Twitter: https://twitter.com/andreaeppolito LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andreaeppolito TikTok: https://vm.tiktok.com/TfJJ5X/   Listen to My Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/andrea-eppolito-celebrating-life-luxury-above-all-else/id1353180121 Read My Blog: https://www.andeaeppolito.com/blog   NOTE: This description contains affiliate links that allow you to find the items mentioned in this video and support the channel at no cost to you.

How many steps do I take on an average wedding day? During load in and execution, you can expect me to take over 30,000 steps a day - walking, turning, tripping, and running nearly 15 miles to bring a vision to life. During our Black and White Ultra Glam Wedding at Fontainebleau, I beat this average, working with the team to install two totally different color stories while taking care of my couple and their guests. Wedding Professionals: how many steps do you take on the average wedding day?
