High Style:From Inspiration To Execution

Kate Turner, Founder and Creative Director, Kate & Company

It’s easy to make a wedding look high-style when you live in NYC, but what if your market is small to mid-sized? How do you find the right resources when your local design options are limited? What’s the best way to create a design deck that results in a flawless wedding look?

  • Execute stunning builds from tents to ballrooms

Minutes Matter:Disaster-Proof Your Planner Timelines

  • Disaster-proof your events
  • Sample timelines from award-winning planners

Sell The Dream:The Psychology Of Sales

Wedding Trendsetter:Create, Don’t Follow

Magnetic:Attract And Book Luxury Clients

Andrea Eppolito, Owner, Andrea Eppilito Weddings & Events
