  • My new favorite podcast

    I’m a wedding planner and can relate to so many of the stories told on this podcast about luxury clientele, mistakes made, wild happenings, and I am just so happy this podcast exists. I drive around Napa Valley laughing, sometimes gasping, and loving every minute of listening. Thank you for this candid (and brilliantly framed) confessional - even though I’m in a different industry, I absolutely LOVE it.
