What a beautiful and engaging video! My favorite line: "A budget is just a list of priorities with a number attached." You're like a wedding fairy godmother!

[@AndreaEppolitoEvents]

My husband told me that once and it stuck! Borrow it for your home organizing clients!

[@AndreaEppolitoEvents]

PS....Do you make it to Vegas often?

[@staceyaginmurray]

@@AndreaEppolitoEvents I visited LV for the first time 15 years ago on a business trip with my husband. Other than that, no plans in the near future. Keep up your great work and videos and send warm weather East please!

[@AndreaEppolitoEvents]

Please let me know! We've changed a lot in the last 15 years!

[@crystalleisner3212]

SOOOO Amazing. Your weddings are always perfection and this showcases why. The little details are everything and you see, offer and execute, what others haven't even dreamt of.

[@AndreaEppolitoEvents]

Crystal Leisner Thank you! I need to come in and see you!

[@ChelseaNicole]

Love this Andrea! :) It's cool getting a peek behind the scenes of your process. And the wedding you showcased is absolutely breathtaking!

[@AndreaEppolitoEvents]

Thank you so much! I loved this wedding, and the couple, and I really had a great time reliving it. So glad that you liked it and THANK YOU for commenting on KZbin!

[@KrisDenise1]

This was so good and inspiring. I’ve been wedding planning for almost 7 years now and my city in VA doesn’t have these grand weddings and I’m just like I need to get out and think bigger. Thanks for the transparency

[@AndreaEppolitoEvents]

You can do it!

Hi Andrea! This video was so amazing and entertaining! The wedding looked amazing and fabulous. As someone who is studying to be a wedding planner, I am very excited to watch these types of videos so thank you!

[@AndreaEppolitoEvents]

Thank you so much!! If you are looking for additional education please visit shop.andreaeppolito.com for books, courses, downloads, and more. Good luck!!!

[@shrishritreeri]

@@AndreaEppolitoEvents I will. Thank you!

[@Hetsupshut3]

Wow. You seem like the perfect wedding planner! Definitely more of my type than the outdoorsy style of weddings. I really love the interior decoration of the reception area. Although I’m not based in Nevada, I am planning on having a destination wedding in California, God willing. Now I need to find your website and details to see if it can work with my budget and more about your services. The fact that you said you plan weddings 2 years in advance is amazing! I wanted to start planning 2 years in advance of when I got engaged (which is coming soon, God willing) Eek! Excited.

[@AndreaEppolitoEvents]

+Faiza Yaseen Hello and Congratulations!!! That’s so exciting. I’d love to learn more. Please visit my website: www.andreaeppolitoevents.com for more information. I have a financials page and details about the process. You can email me from there and we can set up a call! Can’t wait.

You can definitely do it on a budget! We got married in So Cal, and it was beautiful. Good luck planning!

[@AndreaEppolitoEvents]

Our Kind of Crazy Budgets are so relative ! You can do so much if you do it with intention!

[@kahuna0230]

Ok so I just found your channel and basically binged all the videos. You are fantastic :) This video I rewinded a few times, I have a question which is really not that important but drives me crazy because I don't see it: So covering the white carpet with plastic... did you take the plastic off after the set up, or how did that work for the guests? I'm assuming the plastic was not the last finish? Congrats this is a beautiful piece. :)

[@AndreaEppolitoEvents]

Yes, we put plastic down to cover the white carpet while we worked. Then we pulled it off before guests came in.

[@MarianSylla]

You are my DREAM... 😍😍😍

[@AndreaEppolitoEvents]

Many thanks! Very kind of you to say!

[@user-xh7ni2bj6c]

as a wedding planner do you have to search for people to do services as caters, carpenters, where to buy decorations from, and areas/venues? or does the client give you a list of people that she’s interested in? If so does the client give you this budget and you find people based off what you have to spend?

[@AndreaEppolitoEvents]

I am always in forever researching the industry and trying to get to know other vendors and partners. A client may have a photographer or a videographer that they are interested in, but in terms of production, I really control that process and manage it very carefully. I only work with people who can produce at my level, and so I don't necessarily trust a business that I haven't vetted personally.

if you choose me, ill chose you back...love it

You should do it! I have some older videos, but I will absolutely make a video about this! Thank you!

[@lpsspecialeffects]

Hi! Do your clients pay extra on top of your rate for travel?

[@AndreaEppolitoEvents]

Yes, they do. Clients reimburse for all expenses, or they arrange the travel for me.

[@georginakanaan667]

From where I could get those carpet dear

[@AndreaEppolitoEvents]

I bring it in through a decorator!

[@adyashaanuskarout7826]

Is there any difference between event manager and event planner?

[@AndreaEppolitoEvents]

I think it could be semantics. When I hear "event manager" I think operations and venue. When I hear "event planner" I think independent planner and designer working with the clients directly on the pre-event checklist.

[@adyashaanuskarout7826]

Are you hiring event planners?

@@AndreaEppolitoEvents i mean not typical wedding. Without officiating jus with the screen first . You will know wedding is very important thing of human life. So i can change typical wedding. Guess what ... what will on that screen . Taping the couple. Audience watching wedding hall screen. The details you want tell me. Yeah it will be the blue ocean project broke the fixed thoughts.

My only complain is that the music is too loud and couldn't hear her voice more than once :(

[@AndreaEppolitoEvents]

That's weird! I can hear it really clearly!

[@lisacorsi5649]

Imagine if just a mere ten percent of all the time, money, effort, and energy spent on events like this went to ending world poverty, improving education, eliminating domestic abuse or preserving and expanding women's rights worldwide, the world would be exponentially better. Imagine bending the will of the universe to that vision instead of chasing Socrates' shadows on the cave wall of social media and just be present in the simplicity and grace of the universe. Wow

[@corpselizzy]

Don’t watch if that’s how you feel

[@didiertata2051]

Imagine using the time you spent watching this, and the additional time you spent commenting on learning how to make enough money to end world poverty, to improve education etc. I think you'd have done it all on your own. 🤣. Trust me people are doing more than you think. That they spend money on themselves doesn't mean they don't care about others. So don't be too naive.

[@lynnetrathen4587]

Why would anyone want there wedding day pictures BEFORE the wedding 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ when you look at them they don’t say my wedding

[@AndreaEppolitoEvents]

We did a bridal fashion shoot before the wedding for a few reasons...1.) it gave us the ability to do a full dress rehearsal and see the hair, make up, jewelry, and styling in advance to make sure that she was absolutely perfect before the wedding day and 2.) to get very high fashion bridal photos and portraits that we would not have time to take on the wedding day and 3.). to get the bride more comfortable in front of the photographer - it’s awkward to have someone taking your photo for 8-12 hours. And lastly...4.) because we could! And why not have another day of gorgeous couture and fun?! 😍

[@cavinelizabeth]

@@AndreaEppolitoEvents These are such great points. There is so little time on the wedding day for dedicated bridal portraits!

[@AliceHuynh10]

Music is too loud
