Ask the Planner with Desirée Adams: A Wedding and Event Planning Podcast

In general, I consider myself a chronic researcher and thoroughly take my time to gain as much info as possible when I’m planning something. This podcast has been incredibly valuable for me - I listen every morning on my commute to work and then when I get home to start wedding plan for the evening, I have so much more knowledge to take into consideration, preventing me from making costly mistakes. No shade to other wedding related podcasts, but this one is simply just the best! I don’t feel like I’m being marketed to with things I have to buy in order to plan a wedding. ALTHOUGH, Desirée offers some really great tools for purchase, all crafted with her years of experience in the luxury wedding industry, which I WILL be purchasing! She has sooo many great free resources too! Thank you for creating this! 🫶🏼💌

Desirée is BRILLIANT! I’m a veteran Officiant and Marriage Celebrant with more than 225 weddings in my portfolio. The one thing so many couples talk themselves out of for destination weddings up here in the mountains of Colorado is a Wedding Planner. And I understand why but I can’t tell you how often I fill in that role as a result. Desirée’s ideas are beyond helpful for any couple - with a planner or not. With so many ideas coming from social media these days, couples don’t realize the potential for unexpected issues. Her episode Your Ultimate Last- Minute Wedding To-Do List is overflowing with fabulous ideas and important details. I especially love her timeline ideas and her comment about making your Seating List ALPHABETICAL! 🤩 Again, this woman is brilliant and you should listen to every word she says to make your Big Day everything you dream of without the blind spots that inevitably occur because you aren’t getting married all the time! 😉💝

Love love love this podcast! I started binge listening to this podcast during my “engaged to be engaged” era towards the end of last year. It made me feel well equipped and super excited to start planning my wedding. I especially loved Ep. 36 which talked about what to do before getting engaged, because it affirmed me that I wasn’t crazy for starting to plan my wedding before even having a ring haha. I even got my boyfriend/now fiancé to start listening to it with me. (He suggests listening to it every time we’re in the car together.) My fiancé popped the question almost 2 months ago, and I can say this podcast, along with the planning checklist, has helped relieve the stress of planning our fall 2024 wedding in such a short timeline. Thank you Desiree for all of your helpful tips and insight into the industry! You’re the best. 🤍 - Laurielle

Hey Des, thank you so much for your podcast! I started listening to it when I was engaged to be engaged over a year ago, and now I’m about to get married this weekend. I absolutely love the podcast; the content is fantastic and so helpful. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve said, “The wedding planning podcast I listen to says…” throughout this planning process. You’re awesome! Thank you! 💕
