I’m joined by Jeannene from Jeannene Lillie Events, a Metro Detroit wedding planner known for her calm, thoughtful, and storytelling-driven approach to planning events!
Jeannene shares how she made the leap from designing multicultural spaces at the University of Michigan to launching her own wedding planning company in 2020, and what it’s been like to build a business around creating elevated and approachable celebrations!
We talk about:

• Why weddings are about more than logistics, and how weaving in storytelling details makes each celebration feel unique.
• Creative ways couples can carry traditions forward long after the wedding day.
• What planners are really doing behind the scenes (hint: it’s not just picking napkin colors!).
• A moving story that shows the heart of what planners bring to a wedding day.
• Trends Jeannene hopes will stick around (and one she could do without).
• Her best advice for women starting and growing their own businesses.

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to keep a wedding running seamlessly, or how to make your own big day feel truly personal, this episode is full of insights and inspiration!
