Do These Things FIRST When You Get Engaged

You got engaged — now what?
Before you make a Pinterest board, book a venue tour, or say yes to anything with a deposit attached… there are foundational steps every couple should take first. And most couples skip them.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the exact process I walk my Birdcage & Blushers couples through the moment they get engaged:
✨ getting crystal clear on your vision
✨ understanding your budget without the shame spiral
✨ learning how to approach the venue search strategically, not reactively

If you want to avoid months of stress, overwhelm, and costly wrong turns, this episode is your starting point.

And if the venue search already feels like too much? I created my Venue Shortlist System specifically to save you time, money, and decision fatigue — so you can start your planning with confidence and clarity.
