490 - LIVE at The Elliot: Wedding Planner vs. Venue Coordinator — What Couples Must Know

Bridechilla went LIVE at The Elliot in Tremont, and we tackled one of the biggest questions couples ask: what’s the real difference between a wedding planner and a venue coordinator?

Leah is joined on stage by founder Stephanie Ridgely (The Elliot) and wedding planner Brandi Fisher (All Events Planned) for a candid, clarity-packed conversation about roles, boundaries, expectations, and the myths that cause major planning confusion. Get ready for plenty of “Ohhh, NOW I get it!” moments as we break down:

What each role truly handles

Where responsibilities overlap (and where they don’t)

What couples should never assume

How the right support team prevents day-of chaos
