What really happens behind the scenes of a luxury wedding? In this episode of the Said Yes Magazine Podcast, we sit down with Chris Weinberg of Chris Weinberg Events, a seasoned event planner with more than 20 years of experience in the industry. Chris takes us beyond the beautiful tablescapes, flawless timelines, and picture-perfect celebrations to talk about what guests rarely see: last-minute emergencies, demanding clients, unexpected disasters, vendor challenges, family dynamics, and the countless decisions that happen behind the scenes to make an event feel effortless. We also talk about what luxury really means, whether spending more always creates a better experience, how social media has changed the wedding industry, unrealistic expectations, wedding trends, and the lessons Chris has learned throughout her career. And, of course, we get into the stories, the crazy requests, wedding-day disasters, unexpected situations, and moments where a planner has to think fast and simply figure it out.
