S1 E23/1 - Meet the Team: Leah & Monthly Recap - Chaos, Cough Syrup & Client Rants

This one’s a big one - literally. We’re back after a short break with a double episode full of catch-ups, chaos, and way too much candid talk.It’s been a wild few weeks at Bali Brides… The team’s been hit with every sickness under the sun, hospital visits for both us and the teams kids, and a flu season that didn’t hold back. But weddings don’t stop, so what happens when your whole team’s sick and you’ve still got events to run? We get real about that.Tristan also managed to sneak off to Komodo for her birthday - only to spend it sick in bed (classic). Then little Christian ended up in hospital, because apparently we can’t catch a break.So grab a drink, get cozy on the couch, and get to know us a little better.In this episode (Part One & Two):What we do when we’re sick but still have weddings to runBritta’s rant about clients skipping the process (book your calls, people!)Why we’re planners, not your mumsHow we qualify clients we work with (spoiler: we don’t take everyone)A note to all the AI-using couples - ChatGPT won’t write your love story for you“You get the effort you give” - the golden rule for enquiriesWhy going over budget isn’t our fault when you pick the expensive stuffBossy clients, boundaries, and why we take weekends offWhy client involvement matters (and what happens when you go MIA)New systems and training rolling out to level up our client experienceWhat a “remote planner” actually is and how it worksOur fave weddings from the past two monthsTristan’s current girl crush Leah’s journey with Bali Brides and how she found her grooveIt’s honest, messy, funny, and full of behind-the-scenes chaos.
