In this episode of For Real, I Do., Brittany pulls back the curtain on one of the most expensive mistakes couples make without realizing it - hiring the wrong planner.

On the surface, a lower planning fee can feel like a win. But behind the scenes, that decision often comes with hidden costs: missed details, delayed communication, understaffed weekends, overwhelmed vendors, and a wedding day that feels reactive instead of intentional. Brittany breaks down what full service planning actually requires, from hundreds of hours of pre-planning and vendor alignment to the size of the on site team needed to execute multi day, culturally layered celebrations with confidence.

This episode walks through real numbers, real timelines, and real scenarios Brittany has seen play out over nearly 14 years in the industry. She explains why price ranges vary so widely, how infrastructure and systems directly impact your experience, and why “unlimited access” or bargain pricing often signals burnout waiting to happen.

You will also hear why planning is not about contracts signed, but about everything that happens after. The pacing, the follow through, the logistics no one sees until something goes wrong. And why, unlike other purchases, your wedding is not something you can redo if corners are cut.

If you are newly engaged, actively interviewing planners, or even a vendor feeling the ripple effects of under-supported events, this episode offers a clear, honest reality check. Because weddings are not rehearsals. They are once in a lifetime experiences, and the right planning team protects the investment, the culture, and the peace you deserve.

ABOUT EVENTRICS WEDDINGS

Eventrics Weddings is an award-winning team of experienced wedding planning and management experts, specializing in large-scale Indian Weddings & Fusion Weddings in Miami, Orlando, Palm Beach, and destinations worldwide.

Thirteen years ago, we were asked to steady a multi-day celebration for five hundred guests. While the venue and vendors were chosen, the families needed a presence on site - someone to ensure calm, clarity, and care. We were welcomed into homes, met with aunties and uncles, listened to many voices, and watched two families become one. It felt less like a service and more like being entrusted with a legacy. Word traveled from that weekend, and the work found its home.

We’ve remained committed to the same idea ever since. Weddings of cultural depth deserve planning that feels human - quiet, precise, and deeply respectful - so newly forged families can be fully present, together.

In this week’s episode of For Real, I Do., Brittany Cole gets candid about one of the biggest questions couples and families ask: what truly shapes a wedding budget? After years of planning large-scale Indian and fusion celebrations, she’s breaking down the three core factors that have the greatest impact on your overall investment, whether you’re planning a modest multi-day wedding or a luxury, six-figure weekend.

Brittany starts with Eventrics Weddings’ North Star framework — clarity, curation, and confidence — and explains how these pillars help couples make decisions that feel aligned, intentional, and grounded in what matters most. From there, she dives into the biggest budget drivers:

• Guest count, the single largest lever that determines your per-person investment.
• Number of events, especially those tied to food and beverage.
• Location, season, and venue tier, which influence everything from pricing flexibility to logistics.

With real examples, thoughtful guidance, and a reassuring tone, Brittany helps you understand where your money actually goes and how to align your budget with your priorities. You’ll walk away with a clearer sense of how to plan intentionally, invest wisely, and make choices that support a wedding weekend that feels like you.

If you’re navigating conversations around budget or trying to set realistic expectations with family, this episode will feel like a deep breath and a blueprint.
