    Jan 26 2026

    Text the Wedding Planning Hotline

    Destination weddings aren’t just logistically complex. They carry invisible risks that can impact timelines, budgets, emotions, and once-in-a-lifetime moments.

    In this episode of The Planner’s Edit, Desirée Adams breaks down the most overlooked risks of destination weddings and explains why professional planners aren’t just coordinators, but risk managers. You’ll hear how thoughtful planning creates emotional safety, why buffers matter more than best-case scenarios, and where insurance and preparation quietly support your reputation and your clients’ peace of mind.

  • 211 | Are You Keeping Yourself from Attracting Full-Service Clients?
    Jan 19 2026

    Text the Wedding Planning Hotline

    A lot of planners believe they’re struggling with attracting clients for full-service planning, when what they’re really struggling with is clarity.

    In this episode of The Planner’s Edit, Desirée Adams breaks down the quiet, often overlooked ways planners unintentionally keep themselves from attracting full-service clients, even when the talent and experience are already there. This conversation isn’t about confidence or visibility. It’s about the structure, positioning, and messaging that hasn’t caught up to your skill yet.

    If you’ve ever felt capable of more, but unsure why the right clients aren’t booking yet, this episode will help you understand what’s really standing in the way, and how to start aligning your business with the level of leadership you’re ready to hold.

  • 210 | What No One Tells You About Becoming a Full-Service Planner
    Jan 12 2026

    Text the Wedding Planning Hotline

    Becoming a full-service planner isn’t just about offering a bigger package, it changes how you lead, decide, and carry responsibility in ways no one really talks about.

    In this episode of The Planner’s Edit, Desirée pulls back the curtain on what actually shifts when you step into full-service planning. From the emotional weight and quieter decision-making to changing client relationships, evolving confidence, and redefining success, this conversation explores the behind-the-scenes realities planners often only discover once they’re already in it.

    If you’re considering full-service planning, or you’re already there and wondering why it feels so different than you expected, this episode will help you feel seen, grounded, and clearer about what the role truly asks of you.
