Planning the Perfect Party with Event Planner Extraordinaire, Mindy Weiss

This week, Trista is joined by the wedding planner who made her dream wedding come to life for the ABC special back in 2003. She is none other than world-renowned party consultant, Mindy Weiss. In addition to the pink wedding for our favorite Bachelorette, Mindy has also worked with some little-known names including, oh, Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, Russell and Nina Westbrook, and the Kardashian family. Ever heard of them?! She’s also the best-selling author of Goldie the Handpicked Flower Girl, Jack Brings the Rings, The Wedding Book, The Wedding Planner, and The Baby Keepsake Book and Planner. Plus, as if that’s not enough, last year she launched an educational video series for couples entitled MAD About Weddings and even has her own wedding day emergency kits and candle collection! Mindy and Trista talk about current wedding trends, her favorite events to plan, the most shocking thing she’s ever been asked to do, and how to make celebrations special. We also get the inside scoop on Trista’s wedding including the behind the scenes leading up to it. Mindy then gives some tips on how to keep the stress levels down while planning or hosting an event. Easier said than done, we know, but hopefully this episode inspires you to plan the event of your dreams, or even just host a nice dinner with a little more peace of mind!
