Oh Niki ,

The best free wedding advice around!

10/10 Highly Recommend the This vs. That Podcast to anyone out there planning a wedding!
As a longtime planner in the industry, there’s no denying that Kelly McWilliams really knows her stuff BUT what makes this so fun and entertaining is that she invites other pros on to share their perspectives on so many important decisions that you need to make during the wedding planning process! The Libra in me is always debated decisions so I wish I had this type of podcast for everything in life!
As a previous guest and long time follower, I can tell you Kelly is equally as funny as she is knowledgeable! What a lighthearted way to help educate yourself whether you are engaged or perhaps in the industry yourself!
