Congratulations and thank you for allowing me and the pod to be such a huge part of your wedding planning journey. This wedding was stunning and I wish you and Calvin many years of love, joy, health, and adventure!

“Michelle,
You were so so helpful throughout this whole wedding planning experience! I connected with something being shared each and every week, and follow many of your guests now too. Your podcast inspired me to make sure that our wedding aligned with who we are. It gave me many great ideas and the courage to be creative. The whole day was nothing but good vibes and a great time had by all. The most magical and touching day. Full of laughs, tears, and core memories 🥹🤍 Something that will be remembered for the rest of our lives. We truly can not thank you enough!

-Eryn”

🎉 Congratulations to lovely listener and Michael! 🥂

"I was crazy enough to plan a wedding at the same time as starting my own business, and I don't know how I would have gotten through it without Michelle, this podcast, all the wonderful resources she provides and the amazing community she's created. I started binging the podcast as soon as I discovered it, and shortly after unfollowed every other wedding planning podcast I had subscribed to - because they truly don't compare. The focus episodes, guests, and YAWAs are packed full of practical information I had never heard before.

Her podcast subscription is an absolute no-brainer - the value you get for it is insane (and goes way beyond getting access to the full episodes). I quickly started planning my calendar around the monthly happy hours she hosts, which were so helpful both in getting questions answered and becoming a part of a wonderful community. (Many of us from the happy hours are connected on Instagram now and it's been so fun to cheer each other on as the weddings happen!) I also LOVED the resources she provides - especially the wedding day schedule, ceremony layout and transportation schedule. I used them to wrap my brain around all of the wedding day details and when I handed them off to our day-of coordinator she loved them so much she offered me a job. :D

…She's always incredibly generous with her time and helped me with various issues that came up along the way. I will forever be recommending Michelle's offerings to anyone I know who gets engaged!"

“Oh I truly couldn’t have planned this wedding without the podcast. I still remember where I was when I first stumbled on an episode and was like THANK GOD I FOUND THIS.
From dealing with stress and budgets to thinking about design and decor, TBWPP was my #1 resource when navigating the wedding planning process. The Master Class gave us all the materials we needed to do this on our own. Between the course and the podcast, I learned so many tips and internalized so many lessons that I'll carry with me beyond our wedding date.”

Congratulations listener .cestoni and thank you for these kind words!! 🥰

“I got engaged in April and searched for help through online forums and other podcasts but it was all the same information that we all pretty much know already that was until I found TBWPP! Michelle is absolutely fantastic and while we miss Christy, this show is still going so strong. It makes my hour long Atlanta commute fly by(twice a day) Michelle has so much experience and shares her overflowing knowledge of the wedding industry with us. Not only that, but she does it in such an entertaining and fun way that I get excited all over again to plan even minor details. I Adore every guest she brings on the show which is every week and covers all topics. I can’t get enough so I signed up for her Wedding Planning Boot Camp! Thank you so much Michelle!”

Congratulations to Nicole & Brett! Thank you for sharing these photos of your beautiful wedding and for these lovely words. Thank you for being a subscriber! 💕

“As someone who is very type a, going into wedding planning felt terrifying. I had no idea what to do, where to start, let alone how to do any of what was ahead. After a quick Apple podcast search, I found TBPP and immediately fell in love with Michelles knowledge and also her best friend nature! Not only did I learn so much (SO MUCH) from each of the very tactical episodes, but Michelle became my lifeline and someone I could run to for questions.

On my wedding day, I was so present, I had a BLAST and my now husband and I were fully able to live into our wedding values (iykyk), I can say with full certainty that was only possible because of Michelle and the podcast.

Now whenever someone gets engaged in my friend circle, I recommend the podcast to them as to-do list item number ONE!”
