Customer Reviews
Fun & super informative
Jamie & heather are amazing hosts because they play off each other perfectly as friends and business owners with different strengths and unique experiences. This show is so fun to listen to and I’ve learned SO much!
Perfect Union!
This a fantastic podcast with great hosts, I really love it and I learn something every episode. Forgive me, I’m not a spring chicken so maybe it’s just me, sometimes the talking is so fast I have to check to see if I accidentally hit the speed key! Lol! I usually rewind a couple of times so I don’t miss anything. This is not a complaint, just a suggestion if possible to slow down. Your podcast is very valuable to me. Thank you!!!
Love!!
As an aspiring wedding planner I adore listening Heather and Jamie share their experiences and she’s light on other wedding/event related businesses/vendors! It is delightfully informative and fun and I look forward to listening every week!!!
