Sara and Katie are wedding professionals in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia wedding and event markets. With the rise of social media and the industry continuing to grow, various agendas, narratives, education, and everything else in between have communicated unrealistic expectations of how weddings should look, feel, and cost to those getting married. Sara and Katie's goal with this podcast is to call out the "ick" that has been circulating and to encourage their fellow wedding vendors to remember why the industry exists in the first place.
