Meet Brittney Poole

We recently connected with Brittney Poole and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Brittney, really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?

I first became interested in event planning while I worked as an administrative assistant for a local church back in 2019, where I gained a lot of experience in organizing schedules, budget tracking, back-end business tasks, and of course, planning and running events at the assembly. I later started interning for a short time with a local wedding and event planner in 2020 and once COVID-19 halted events during this time, continued my thirst for knowledge by reading books and online education about the wedding industry. Eventually, I was working as a teacher full-time while executing events on the weekends, and after becoming married myself and wanting to start a family, I decided to quit teaching full-time to pursue my own wedding planning business.

Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?

My main goal as a wedding planner is to bring to life the vision the couple has for their wedding day. Many couples find the task of wedding planning extremely stressful and time-consuming, and so I strive to bring joy and peace of mind to couple’s wedding days by creating a professional and comfortable environment to achieve goals together as a team. My business primarily offers wedding planning, event coordination, and event design services, and our most popular services include timeline and floor plan creation, professional vendor recommendations, and wedding day management. Every single wedding is unique, and therefore, my team creates a personal plan to fit each couple’s individual needs. Above all, we care about every couple we work alongside and help them create the moments they’ll remember for a lifetime.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

I believe that to be successful, it takes the right mindset and attitude in how you act in both your work and personal life. Whether it’s long-term goals or small everyday tasks, approaching everything with a positive outlook and open mind allows a person to successfully maneuver through even the most difficult challenges of life. I also believe that having a community to support you in your endeavors significantly helps in being successful.

Awesome, really appreciate you opening up with us today and before we close maybe you can share a book recommendation with us. Has there been a book that’s been impactful in your growth and development?

Building a genuine relationship with both clients and professionals in the field was crucial to building my reputation in the wedding market. In addition to client check-in throughout the planning process, continuing to nurture client relationships post-event through social media interaction has opened the doors to interacting with their local communities of friends and family and ultimately receiving referrals. Similarly, supporting my fellow professionals on social medial through simple interactions such as the act of “liking”, positive comments, and sharing their content to my social media, has elevated my reputation in that professionals are reciprocating these interactions, which results in higher brand-name awareness and leads reaching out to inquire about our services.
