Podcast Episode 44: Friends are Guests, Not Employees

In my experience, having friends provide their services for your wedding is never a good idea. Even if they are great friends and always follow through, it usually ends badly. They don’t know what they’re signing up for to work your wedding night, and the temptation to leave their post and join the party is too high. This leads to my team picking up their slack and doing other people’s jobs, taking away from our responsibilities. Together with my co-host Alison Burry, we will unveil the importance of keeping friends as guests and not your vendors.
