Hear from Lacey Larsen, owner of Evergreen Weddings. "Planning and coordinating weddings was never my lifelong dream, but owning my own business was. At first it was a bakery, then a restaurant, then a piano studio, then a home decor boutique, and then I finally landed here. After planning & designing my own wedding, I was both utterly exhausted yet completely full of life, wanting to do it all over again [with the same husband, of course!]. When a good friend graciously allowed me to do a mock trial by coordinating their Big Day, I came out of it with a confirmed new love and a boatload of encouragement from people who were shocked that I hadn't been doing it for years already. The rest is history and here I am today - proud owner of Evergreen Weddings!".www.bestmadevideos.com/podcasts.www.bestmadweddingvideos.comwww.anevergreenwedding.com
