The Wedding Wisdom Podcast is a weekly interview-style audio discussion on the most efficient way to plan the perfect wedding. We will be talking to event coordinators, florists, photographers, musicians, videographers, dress designers, and anyone else who can "drop some knowledge" about all things weddings.
Episode 97 continues my wide-ranging conversation with Jen Stone about the multi-faceted approach that a truly innovative Global Event Designer can bring to any celebration.
At the 14:00 minute mark, Jen launches into a truly hilarious "stand-up-comedy-worthy" rant on the "virtual insanity" of negotiating the Loading Docks of midtown Manhattan's most iconic, luxury hotels.
Together with episode 96, Jen paints an endearingly loving portrait of the life of a top-tier Event Designer that is both hysterical and delightfully enlightening. I've hope you've enjoyed this Master Class on Event Design as much as I have. Thanks so much for your generosity of time and wealth of wisdom.
As always, stay safe and stay strong.

Ep. 96: Jen Stone
Named one of Harper's Bazaar's 2020 Top Wedding & Event Designers in the World, the talented, charming treasure trove of knowledge and skill, Jen Stone, started out as an innovative entrepreneur with a thriving floral business on New York's upscale Upper West Side. Discovered by two luminaries in the event industry, Tinker Boe of "Mood Food" and the incomparable event planner Marcy Blum, Jen (a painter and protegée of the brilliant Robert Isabell) began a journey that led her to become one of the most sought-after names in "the art of the party." Pictured above with her current, long-time artistic partner and brother-in-law, Marco Olmi, the innovative co-owner of StoneKelly (which began with her original partner, Don Kelly), I found her effusive, expressive way of speaking to be a virtual education about flowers, caterers, lighting, venues and all the artistic touches that make an event unforgettable.
Our conversation was so compelling, Jen Stone's podcast is the first to become a two-parter. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did...and stay tuned for Part 2!
As always, stay safe and stay strong.
All my best

Ep. 95: Chef Jill Freiberg
My guest for Ep. 95 of The Wedding Wisdom Podcast is the extraordinary Chef Jill Freiberg, the owner of Jillicious Foods & Events. Our fascinating conversation from her home in Park Slope, provides an extraordinarily vivid portrait of what it's like to be both Head Chef and owner of one of New York's most sought-after "Off-Premise" catering companies.
With a true artist's sensibility, she talks about finishing the construction of her "post-COVID" dream kitchen with the same charm that she speaks of offering her beloved "Spiced, Smoked, Roasted Popcorn," "S'mores Kit" and "Grazing Boxes" to purchase online.
I truly hope you enjoy this unique look into a fascinating life as much as I did. Thanks for everything Jill!
