How two crazy planners got together.
Patricia and Erika met through the Association of Bridal Consultants back in 2017. At a conference in November 2021 in Indiana we were brainstorming ideas and we both looked at each other and at the same time said “PODCAST!” So of course, because we are the types of people we are, we immediately started brainstorming names and ideas. Our Regional Manager (and Senior Master Wedding Planner, Robyn Bruns) without missing a beat just says…”Why don’t you call it Mountain Wedding Talk?” And just like that the Podcast was born. We planned and tried to learn as much about podcasts as possible over the next few months and on March 30, 2022, we published our first podcast.
After doing this for a year, at the next conference in North Carolina, we spent an entire flight from Salt Lake City to Charlotte brainstorming ideas. We toyed around with some stuff and started planning again. We sat on some of the ideas over the holidays and after everything settled down. Then we had another meeting and the next thing you know, we created Mountain Wedding Solutions. It was a culmination of everything we had been discussing over the last year.
We have a lot of ideas and plans for what we want to do with Mountain Wedding Solutions. And are super excited to share them with couples looking to head to the mountains to create an amazing experience for their wedding, but the vendors in helping to connect and get the word out about the amazing services they offer.
