Episode 151: Making Your Big Day Stress-Free and Authentic with your Event Planning BFF, Jesse Reing
Why are most events hosted by stressed, anxious, and worried people? Why do some celebrations mean so much to us that we ruin them?
Regardless of the occasion, every big day we decide to celebrate should be about who we are and what we enjoy, nothing else. Oh! And by the way, we would greatly appreciate it if someone could remove the "happiest day of your life" pressure.
Today, I'm joined by the person you'll want on your side the next time you plan an event: Jesse Reing. She is the Founder and CEO of Events by Jesse, an award-winning event-planning company, or as they call themselves, your Event-planning BFFs. After spending years educating herself on Switzerland, "the hospitality education capital of the world," and learning about hospitality all around Europe, Jesse let her entrepreneurial gene loose and started her own business.
Throughout this episode, you'll hear about Jesse's passion for traveling, her entrepreneurial spirit, and how she developed a massive love for turning people's celebrations into stress-free and authentic experiences. Jesse also shares her thoughts on why most weddings are so stressful, especially for brides, tips and tricks to turn wedding planning into enjoyable experiences, how traveling and living in Europe shaped her perspective on life and work, and much more.
