What I Wish I Knew Before Starting My Wedding Planning Business with Leah Weinberg and Debbie Orwat

In this episode, I’m shaking things up a bit and have not just one, but two guests!  Leah Weinberg, the founder of Color Pop Events is an event and wedding planner based in New York City and Debbie Orwat is a former planner and venue owner, and currently runs Planner’s Lounge – an online resource for wedding and event planners.

I asked them on to show to take a walk down memory lane with me about how they each got started and what obstacles they faced in doing so. As you’ll hear, both ladies have a wealth of knowledge to share.

Even if wedding and event planning  isn’t your niche, don’t dismiss this episode. You just might find a little nugget here that you can apply to your own business and industry!
