Now that Season 3 is here, I know we may have some new listeners, so I wanted to revisit a topic that is arguably one of the most important elements when planning your wedding - Picking your wedding Venue.In this episode,  I’m joined by Courtney and Dana of Anthem House, a team of planners with a combined experience of 50+ years based in North Carolina. They have partnered together to give their clients an all- inclusive, luxury planning experience. Their passions lie in the intentional details of their clients' day, seamless logistics, and meaningful connections. Their team approach allows them to be uniquely creative, efficient, and harmonious throughout all aspects of the planning process.HIGHLIGHTS FOR EPISODE 70:Meet Courtney and Dana [03:08]What our listeners need to know as they search for their dream wedding venue.
