#236 Wedding Day Magic: Jaz & Rodney, Part 2

Jaz and Rodney are back! They originally joined us to talk about "Wedding Planning While Black in Episode #204 and today they share the retrospective of their magical wedding that took place in October 2020.

After a constantly changing and shifting planning process, they finally wed in Palm Springs with their family. Making a much smaller and much more intimate day for celebrating and as you will hear, it was magical!

Big Takeaways

• The planner was an ABSOLUTE must-have. Having them their helped everything feel so much smoother and relaxing.
• When it came to planning, they prioritized what was most important for them. In the end, with just their family present, they were able to use their full budget to make an even more fabulous day.
• Speak up! Try it. It might not work every time, but it is worth it. It’s better to know if it’s time to step away from a vendor than to drag it out because of fear to speak up.
• Making sure people feel comfortable makes all the difference.
