    What really happens behind the scenes of a luxury wedding?

    In this episode of The Aisle, Trista, Aaliyah, and Ella share the highs, lows, and unexpected challenges from one of the busiest stretches in BTS Event Management history.

    Over the course of three weeks, the team produced weddings in Northern California, Trenton, Georgia, and Cabo San Lucas while navigating flight delays, weather scares, vendor challenges, travel chaos, and countless last-minute surprises.

    From seating chart mishaps and canceled flights to destination wedding logistics and weather concerns, we're sharing the real stories guests never see and the teamwork it takes to make every wedding feel seamless.

    If you've ever wondered what it's really like to be a wedding planner, this episode is a candid look at the challenges, problem-solving, and magic behind creating unforgettable celebrations.

    Because weddings aren't about everything going perfectly. They're about having the right team in place when things don't.

  • 76. Present, Not Perfect: Balancing Motherhood with Entrepreneurship
    Jun 9 2026

    How do you balance motherhood, relationships, and entrepreneurship when it feels like all three need you at the same time?

    In this episode of The Aisle, I'm sharing an honest look at what life really looks like behind the scenes. Not from someone who has it all figured out, but from someone who is constantly trying to find her footing, recalibrate, and do the best she can.

    As a business owner, partner, and mom of five, there are seasons where everything feels aligned and seasons where it feels like I'm barely holding It together. I’m talking about mom guilt, burnout, marriage, asking for help, setting boundaries, and the reality that balance isn't permanent, it's an ongoing practice.

    If you've ever felt stretched thin, overwhelmed, or like you're failing at one thing while focusing on another, this conversation is for you.

    Because none of us are doing this perfectly. We're just learning as we go.
