Covid19 and the Wedding Industry IB Wed Podcast

    • Entrepreneurship

Let's talk the dreaded C word. Covid... coronavirus... that pesky pandemic that shook up 2020 and threw it on its head and disrupted so many individuals and especially the wedding industry. I'm truly not sure what industry took the hardest hit but from personal experience I know that we felt the hit hard. 

Ivory & Beau alone had over 40 weddings postponed and a handful of weddings completely cancel. It has hurt. 2020 started as one of the strongest years in business and quickly became one of the most stressful years in business. From trying to determine the best course of action moving forward to keep the business afloat to having to make those hard decisions to close the doors then cutting employee hours, it has been a headache after headache followed by tears. 

Listen along as I talk with one of our wedding planners, Megan Johnson, who is also getting married herself as we chat about covid's effects on the wedding industry. And then I take over to chat all about how we were able to overcome the hurdles covid threw at us.
